      Yeah fuck those evil authoritarians improving people’s lives in order to trick them into supporting their comically evil agendas.

      They should learn from Western Democracies that the way to rule a country is to keep alternating unpopular leaders every four years so the declining standard of living can be blamed on The Other Guy™ while simultaneously generating enough desperate people to “try something new” (a far-right party).

      A much better system.

      It’s kind of silly how you people keep complaining about Putin while not being to say anything bad about him (other than what applies to the polities you support).

      On that note, I do wonder what you think a state should do when the most prolific invader brings weapons to its borders to attack it, especially when accompanied by attempting coups against its neighbours.

        Okay, I plead fucking Brandolinis law or whatever it’s called on this one because holy shit you need to get out of your bubble. I would have to write an essay to explain all of what’s wrong here. Go talk to some people living in moscow if you feel so strongly.

          You are proving my point - you can’t actually say anything bad about him (without exposing your hipocrisy), and you can’t provide an alternative course of action for Russia. You only say that you can.

          I invite you to prove me wrong.

          Go talk to some people living in moscow if you feel so strongly

          What should I ask them? And why specifically Moscow and not, say, Crimea, or the Far East?
