Good point well made. I have been guilty of this, we must not conflate the actions of a government with that of the people. I don't do this with Trump and I kinda have with Russia, I will do better.Morkonan wrote:First of all, this isn't about the "Russians." It's about Putin and his crew, not the Russian people. (Just like Trump complaints aren't, I hope, directed at all US citizens.)
A link to popular support might be made but such support is never universal and mightn't be based on all the information (currently watching a documentary series about the war in Vietnam, which makes this latter point all too well.)
