I want you guys to understand, that the absolute majority of russians eager for peace.

What exactly YOU did to stop the war? Did you go to protests? Because, you know this war is paid by YOUR taxes, so there is a damn good reason for hatred. You are sponsor of this war, so don't look surprised that you reap it's fruits.

Well, do what Ucrainins did with their ruler. You expect Russia to be a civilised political country, but it is still run by bolsheviks. You have to dethrone them and it will spill blood and not let any of them stay in politics afterwards. Russians made mistake of letting Putin take power in the first place.

I wouldn't call it hatred per se, but the opportunity of a lifetime! In the grand field of geopolitics most are careful with their chess pieces and wouldn't dare flex their military muscle as to (more than anything, I believe) not disturb "the balance of power," "the order of things," "the way things are," "post pax americana" and all that... essentially a world where the west goes by unchallenged, and that's the main issue with this war: yes, Ukrainian people die but in every chess board, peons will fall - that, in politics, in war, in love is inevitable - they are collateral damage. If it wasn't them, it would be another. Now, the Afghans were collateral for 20 years and the west never batted an eye so I immediately drew suspicion upon their passionate, all-consuming, brotherly response of support for the Ukrainian plight. Russia simply did something you don't do, something not even China (who has challenged them economically and has their own little cold war going on) did not resort to in Taiwan and that is put boots on the ground. Russia has challenged the global order and will pay dearly for doing so. After the world wars, western influence grew into a crescendo which has slowly decayed over time and now they clamor to get it back... but do not be mistaken, there are only losers in war, some more than others, especially the poor bastards caught in the cross fire of senseless political maneuvering. I call it the opportunity of a lifetime because Russians effectively have a target on their back by association... ask a Muslim during the war on terror, people of Japanese descent after pearl harbor, Chinese people after covid and many others, they would understand. Anyways, I appear to be rambling now

I actually agree with you; There should be a clear difference between Russian Politics/leaders and Russians just trying to survive by not getting noticed

What seems to be happening now, unfortunately, is a simple hatred for every single Russian. It's true and oh-so-easy to judge, that a lot of people don't dare to protest.

But, to be fair... I personally wouldn't dare to either, if over the years people around me have been locked up, disappeared, or even known to be murdered due to protesting againt far more 'innocent' things than a Whacko president deciding to seize another country and threaten with nuclear weapons, going so far as endangering 2 nuclear plants! (Tsjernobyl + that one last week).

As a Dutchie it's easy to compare it to WW2: Everyone hated the Germans. But a lot of German people just wanted to live their life, didn't ask for a bloody war to be involved in, got forced into mility duties or brainwashed for years, truly believing that what they did in the army was the best thing to do so.

But also: The Netherlands got taken, and most people, including my grandparents, just tried to live their own life, try not to get noticed, with a huge but brave minory daring to even join the Resistance.

All I'm trying to say is.... Don't hold people that are scared for their own safety/life accountable for what their leaders do, especially since Russia ain't a democracy, not really, and it's not fair to judge them on what you think they should do without trying to understand their reality.

(And though understandable, I also think it's unfair that I've seen a lot of GA's with only Russia excluded)

towards regular Russian people is insane! It really should stop now. I want you guys to understand, that the absolute majority of russians eager for peace. Same as you are! Same as everyone else. No one needs a war, except some politicians, that don't care about human lives and pursue their own interests. Regular russians have have nothing to do with it.

Truth! I truly feel sorry for all the people living there, forced to live in fear for their lives because if the government is capable of committing mass murder in a fake and evil wait to cover, they will more likely cover civilians who stand against Putin's terrorist and tyrant regime.

All I'm saying, that most russians have nothing against ukrainians or any other nations, we want peace. No need to judge us by the acts of our government, please be better than that. Just remember, we all are HUMANS, and not a single crazy politician or news media should set us against each other. Wish you love and patience, I hope both ukrainians and russians will overcome any kind of difficulties and stay strong!

I am sending my best wishes to you and your family. I'm sorry that you're all being blamed for one man. People who don't seem to understand some things make it easier to throw blames on others than to try to understand.

We've seen it multiple times in the past happening and most recently, with Covid, with Chinese people. People who don't understand what's going on blame others for their mistakes because it's easier.

What we can all do, is to create more awareness for brainwashed Russians to rebel and take down Putin off the throne and reestablish Russia in a way that does not threaten the lives of neighboring countries or the world. Putin is sending Russia through an economic crisis of great proportions and what the world wants is for Russia to do something about it, otherwise they will all face the consequences, even if the world wants it or not.

It's not acceptable in our day and age to go over a 3rd World War, because I believe each nation has understood already how stupid the first two were. Please don't let anything hateful address towards you and your people hurt you. You are strong people and you can overcome this together, but if you wish to work for peace, you need to act now and act fast.

Help the Ukrainians, help yourselves and only then the world will stop throwing stones at you. I'm sorry! Sending my best wishes to you! 🤗

A bigger issue is the way the global government is attacking Russian people's way of life.

You may cast aside concerns because they are some throw away people to you. But who will protect your ability to survive when your country comes into the crosshairs of extreme sanctions, companies pulling out of your country, banks pulling out, the ability to pay for goods removed.

The U.N is a relic of the past that has served it's purpose. But it continues to spread influence and is becoming a new terror that should be dealt with.

Please don't spread lies and teach hate/discrimination.
The many goverments and people the world over are NOT targeting Russia because of ethnic/race. (to say its about ethnic/race, is supporting the war).

They are targeting a country that has started an evil war of aggression, with non-violent passive pressure, ie: sanctions, in hopes to persuade the goverment to stop the war before the war gets any worse.

When both the world and your own people tell you to stop the war, to continue the war would prove just how evil the government truely is.
