Do you think a random Russian citizen who is trying to leave Russia has anything to do with this?
Many of the people trying to leave Russia are against the war. It is idiotic to shame civilians who have little to no power to stop the actions of their oligarch run government.
She says:
Not sure what to make of this. We only have a video of an upset girl. Is she being treated unfairly? Who the fuck knows. All I know is that it plays perfectly into the Kremlin's propaganda: We are the good guys and the world hates us for no good reason.
The claim is that she is a civilian, not a soldier. The video in no way suggests that soldiers
Disliking the actions of a government is very different from disliking an entire people based on nationality.
Your line of reasoning is very hard to follow. You are alternating between soldiers/civilians and people/individuals. You are arguing against a point I never made. You are not engaging with my concerns. So let me state this again. The video is highly emotional, completely one-sided. Contains no concrete information. And fits perfectly into the Kremlin's propaganda. I wonder if all these Mexicans still hate her after she tells them that she disagrees with Putin and his war.
Do you think Westerners should hate the Russian people (civilians) because Putin is waging war?
If you say no, then you are in agreement with the person in the video, and by your own logic, have fallen for "Kremlin Propaganda".
