Whenever the topic turns to Ukraine vs Russia, I have noticed some people coming out of woodwork to assert that Russia is corrupted country. Now I will give you that Putin is a dictator as he has been a president for a long ass time and probably ordering his subordinates to kill his political dissidents but is there a lockdown and arrest of citizens? I want to know actually as the propaganda's everywhere that exaggerates a lot of things.
I want to also ask hypothetical question, if countries like Russia, China, Canada and Britain offered people temporary asylum and actually made effort to accommodate them for not understanding their own language, what country normies will choose, I wonder?
And as for me, you probably know what I will choose.
When it comes to Russia I keep firmly in mind that everything we are told about Russia, and the people who lead the nation, is told to us by the very same people we know, without a shadow of a doubt, lie as easily as breathing, and do so on a near constant basis.
Putin is a dictator, so says the media. He kills and arrests dissident voices at home and abroad, so says the media.
Because the media says so, I automatically don't believe it. Because the media says it, I automatically think the opposite is true.
But the man was a former KGB. I'm sure he dirtied his hands not too long ago but he's more competent in leadership than any windbags in anglo-countries
