I’ll be crazy with you. Growing up, I wasn’t trained to hate or fear any country or leader, so that may make it easier to not be automatically against Putin. I fear my own leader now more than Putin.
I was raised to deeply fear Russia as they would come and kill us. Then I met a person from Russia who was about my same age and in discussions they told me that as a child they also thought we were coming to kill them. Seems both sides in power promoted fear to control.
