How many Russians do you speak with regularly? I'm only asking because of how sure you are about how Russians feel. You seem like you're linked to a large community of them or something.
I actually do know a few people who immigrated from Russia. One through work related IT stuff and another through a friend. I have not spoken to any of them about this topic. What I will say is that as we can see from our own experiences with Iraq public support can get very high for military actions that in hindsight are very dubious.
When you find a Publix grocery bagger (look at Publix BTW, not at your usual Dollar store of choice) ask them how much is 1 + 1 for your future reference.
Bitching, bitching while Ukrainians continue to be killed - and Russian Soldiers. I hope the apologists are proud of the job they are doing for Putin.
One of the biggest problems the West continues to have is that it thinks Russians think like Westerners. I shake my head all the time at it.
I doubt you have much time to trade (unless you're doing it on breaks) during the bagging process. maybe paper trades?
