In a video (21 sec), Russian state propagandist Sergei Mardan explains that the main purpose of war is looting of enemy’s territories so that “we live better than them”.
Then he adds “I think this is the goal of the war as laid by Putin”. Note the word “war” is beeped out because in Russian political correctness code it should be called “special military operation”.
I used to periodically imagine that it would be funny when talking with one of these people to just out of nowhere tackle them and take their wallet
I never did it and I don’t think I would even if the situation somehow presented itself, but I do think it would be wonderful if someone would. Like bro… you just said that this was okay. How can you possibly be upset about this outcome.
I mean, he’s not wrong (historically), but that doesn’t mean we have to tolerate it either. We (as a species, a civilization, the royal we) can be better. He just doesn’t want us to be.
And rape, do not forget the russian basterds consider rape a normal thing to do in countries you occupy:
“Understand it if a soldier who has crossed thousands of kilometres through blood and fire and death has fun with a woman or takes some trifle”
“We lecture our soldiers too much; let them have their initiative.”
– Stalin
Expect nothing but brutal barbarian filth from the russians, it is what they are used to and are told is OK to do.
It is a despicable state filled with horrible people. Yes, this is generalizing but in this case it is warranted.
Talk about the political leaders. Talk about those who volunteered to join the military. Don’t talk about the random Russian just trying to go about their lives while living under a dictatorship.

No, I don’t think the generalisation is fair.
