Their rock music is lousy. It’s like Sasha Baron Cohen skit. That leads me to another rant about their sh*tty langauge. The mumbling incoherence of Russian, it’s like listening to drunk Swedish. It’s like real pig latin. Now Russian women...that’s another matter :-)

Happens every war. I remember during the Iraq War, when French Fries were renamed Freedom Fries, because France wasn't sufficiently onboard as an ally.

That was pretty small-time and practically a joke. No one was canceling French performers and music and literature over it.

I do like Kino, their lead singer was actually Korean, tragically died in a car accident.

Sasha Baron Cohen is an advocate for censorship: Borat actor: Facebook, Google, YouTube and Twitter are 'the greatest propaganda machine in history' for hate groups

British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen blamed tech giants Facebook, Google and Twitter and their leaders for giving a megaphone to hate groups and allowing lies to proliferate, in a blistering speech before the Anti-Defamation League on Thursday. ...

I see it exactly the same way. I too grew up in the 70s and 80s. I was a STAUNCH anti communist when all the liberals were as soft as charmin toward the Kremlin. But neither I nor my fiercely anti communist dad ever hated Russians or Russian culture. Everybody understood that these were different things.

Now as has become usual, it’s the tolerance crowd who are the most intolerant. They’re downright hateful. I half suspect it’s because Russians are White that it’s somehow “OK” to hate them and their culture, music, literature, food, history, etc. it certainly wasn’t considered acceptable to treat anybody else this way.

It would be childish if it weren’t so ugly and disgusting. We’re supposed to be better than this. We’re supposed to be enlightened people. We’re supposed to respect the rule of law. All of that seems to have been thrown out the window now.

That explains why the Russian perception of the Ukrainian adventure shifted from WTF? to 86% support in a couple weeks.

From another article stated that the bunch running our government are the same bunch who executed the color revolution in Ukraine in 2014. Explains much.
