“I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity.”

        Tbf they last posted before I responded, probably havent seen it yet. Still, based on their behavior in the rest of the thread, I’m expecting either silence or some insane goalpost shift

          What he said was that Russians aren’t like Ukrainians. More Asian than Ukrainians are and that they think differently.

          Context is important and your poorly translated version is NOT what he’s saying. He’s not saying all Asians are subhuman- he’s saying they have a different past and are influenced by it. He’s saying Russians are more violent based on where they come from and the past they’ve had. This is something he hadn’t counted on etc… etc… etc… since this is just a clip I don’t know where he was going with it. But it sounds more like he saying ukrainian military is more humane with regards to how they treat people than the russians.

          MY point is that you and your type will just say a thing based purely on propaganda.

                btw I just want you to know that even your supposed different translation is insane,

                More Asian than Ukrainians …

                …

                … He’s saying Russians are more violent based on where they come from and the past they’ve had

                Wtf does being “more Asian” mean? This is in the same vein as the nazi “asiatic hordes” bullshit

                  I really don’t know where he was going with it. I admit it was probably poorly worded but it definitely wasn’t what you guys are trying to paint it as. I can speculate-as I’ve already done.

                    I know where he’s going with it, he’s dehumanizing them, there’s no other reason to paint them as “more Asian” it’s literally a fucking Nazi dog whistle that Russians are barbaric Asians
