I don't click on these articles about Russia very often, normally when I've skimmed everything else, but if you click on a few of them you will notice very quickly that there are a few freepers with a serious "Russia is Utopia" agenda.
I'm not even going to bother with these anymore and just let these guys get their jollies arguing with someone else or talking about Russia to the same 4 other freepers all the time.
That is the sad part - I don't think Russia is a utopia - far from it - I have not seen anyone say so - nor do I think Russia is about to invade America and is our enemy. Yet in arguing with those that do think that many come to think that somehow that makes me an apologist.
I am not - there are things I like about the new Russia and things I don't like - but that is not the same as demonizing.
