    I don't. We (Europeans) warned them for years that their goverment is a shitshow. People got poisoned, disappeared into gulags and driven into exile. When we met them online in chats and games, we were like "Hey Alexi-RU, you gotta handle that putin situation. It's getting out of hand." Sure it's dangerous, but doing nothing is dangerous too. Should have at least fled the country. Whoever's still there and not fighting putin had it coming.

    They had a unique opportunity with the relatively peaceful end of the USSR and look how they have been behaving in the last 35 years. They did everything possible to get back on the path of authoritarianism and genocidal imperialism.

    Putin is a symptom, russian society (almost all of it) is the cause.

    They won't change until they are treated as they treat others (without full on russian-style barbarism such as mass summary killings of civilians, castrations of prisoners and so on).
