Russia boasts a massive energy infrastructure, but a recent wave of heating system breakdowns has left many of its citizens scrambling to keep the frost outside. We are still using the communal infrastructure that was made during the Soviet era," said Svetlana Razvorotneva, a Russian lawmaker and member of the committee in charge of urban engineering. “We did not invest in modernization. Instead, we invested in maintaining all that outdated infrastructure.”
Most Russian people have committed no crime, and many do not support what their leader has done. We should not condem people for the country they were born in.
most russians do not support their leader and country? Have you been high for the last 2 years or what?
Would you be comfortable with the world treating americans as nazis once and if Trump is reelected, or you want us to do the exception and differentiate between assholes and not-assholes?
I will 100 % judge US Americans if Trump gets reelected. If half of your country votes for them, the people are responsible.
if they become a comical evil country that tries to destroy our values and rights, supress sexual minorities and invades their neighbour countries, then yes
That sounds pretty neat and everything, but that is exactly what the USA does all over the world and has been doing over a century. I’m not puting russia and USA on the same table cause I would prefer 1000 times USA over russia, but having some compasion for people that isn’t holding a gun or is freezing because of a war they didn’t ask for wouldn’t hurt. Puting everything on the same bag is what fascist do.
Take out invading neighbors and we already do all of that
When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty.
It would perhaps be a wake up call for the apathetic majority.
With my whole chest: FUCK. THE. RUSSIAN. PEOPLE.
Those vile scum have never once in history had their shit together. All they’ve ever accomplished is bringing misery to themselves and exporting it to their neighbors. Hell, they export misery worldwide!
Last century? 50-years of Cold War hanging over our heads. 50-years of planet killing devastation, good to go. If men like Vasily Arkhipov and Stanislav Petrov hadn’t had the balls to defy orders, we’d be living in Fallout.
Once the Soviet Union collapsed? They turned into gangsters, overnight, fucking their people over, because that’s how they roll. Raped the whole country, and you get what we have here today. Oligarchs raiding the military until it’s almost non-functional. Oligarchs with world bending wealth while the people freeze to death.
The Russians refuse to join the rest of the planet for peace and prosperity. FFS, North Korea is their ally. How fucked up is your situation when you’re purchasing howitzer shells from the retarded kid living in a shack?!
Now they’re prosecuting a war against their little brother, failing miserably, barely hanging in at best. Ya know, because they fucked themselves over so hard they can’t field working tanks, rifles or soldiers.
And what do the Russian people do? Same thing as always! Curl into a depression ball and say, “So it goes. Pass the vodka.”
And for those of you coming along thinking, “Damn this guy hates Russia.” I don’t hate Russia nearly as much as Russians hate Russia. The minute those people show an ounce of spine, I’ll be their biggest cheerleader.
But over half of them support Putin.
Just like the US citizens deserve the hellscape Trump will bring. Just like UK citizens deserve poverty and empty grocery stores for their Brexit vote.
Quit pretending these country citizens shouldn’t be condemned to the hell the tacitly approved of. It doesn’t matter if one Russian or one Texan doesn’t support their dictator, enough of their neighbors do. So suffer for your country and for the sins of your neighbors. They didn’t do enough to stop it.
They do support the war.
