The thing that strikes me most clearly about the current Ukrainian crisis is the level of blind anti-Russian bigotry out there. I don’t like Putin, I never defend Russia. But I see Russia as a country pretty much like any other country.

You see Russia as the devil incarnate. I don’t think you are rational on this topic.

LOL, “” I never defend Russia.””

Except when you post.

The person I was quoting was himself a Russian, born in Russia, and now in America.

You view Russia as "a country pretty much like any other country" (China, Iran, Pakistan, North Korea?) because you are ignorant of Russia. But take a look at Russia and the way life is there, and what they teach themselves about us, and you will think differently.

You take my breath away.
