    I was actually going to say more horrid shit instead of just that but I remembered I have Russian friends and didn’t actually feel that way I am just angry.

      Sure, and I get that.

      But demonizing entire peoples is part of how warmongers get us to support this awful shit to begin with. It’s one reason why my take is no war but class war, personally.

        TBH, Russia is a country and does not equal Russians citizen. Saying that a country or its existence is bad, doesn’t mean all people with citizenship of that county are bad. People will still be there when a country is dissolved.

            IDK, I couldn’t think of what kind of repercussions that would have… That would really depend on how it is dissolved and what would come after it, I suppose.

            But TBH, with the right handling, organization and proper new structure, every nation should be dissolved… Cosmopolitanism would have its perks.

                Maybe. Als long as it isn’t authoritarian, protects the weak from the strong and provides the people with the most personal positive freedom, security and safety, without infringing on the personal freedom of others, it should be fine. On the specifics we will have to work together on.

                But we are leading off track. Currently I would say that the machinations of Russia, China, the U.S, Israel, and Iran are not good for the world. And in case authoritarian regimes, this can be traced back to the leaders of these countries, not the population. The fish stinks from the head. So saying this or that country is bad, doesn’t mean the population should suffer.

        Yes. There is a great point a Greenlander made during that recent thing it was something about “hey americans don’t say sorry for trump we are judging you as a whole the same way you judge russia as a whole” and I didn’t like that so I should have been more careful with my wording.
