Complete and utter bullshit. Again, I know hundreds of people. I live in Texas which is (thankfully) not a bastion of wokeness and liberal so-called "tolerance". I know urban professionals, I know hicks, and I know rednecks. I am in a bowling league FCOL. And not once have I seen even a hint of russophobia.
Well since you are in Texas, I guess you are already packing. Maybe that's why you are not attacked. LOL Trust me at the end of the day, as long as there are people like @cesfx around, you will never be judged by what you think but by how you look and what you have in your pocket.
Sure, and your suggestion is exactly how? To vilify an entire culture and all its people regardless of whether they are innocent or not?
You can't engage on the battlefield, not in the home turf of a nuclear power. That is precisely why the west is out of any options. They can't find a suitable solution. Not as long as China fully supports the Russian government.
Then you don't understand the actions of most corporates these days. They indiscriminately target every Russian regardless of where they live. If you are a Russian citizen these days then the social justice warriors and corporates just put a big fat David's star and target on your forehead. Great way to handle the situation.
So they come up with seizing people's yachts?? LOL Assume they are legal, how is that going to persuade Putin of stopping this war?
So one post later you had to walk back your claims that Russians abroad are not targeted. Thanks for being honest at least.
And that has been my point all along. In war times most people are not rational. Not even those who should remain rational. That's why the likes of Churchill demand such respect and hold a role model status in the history books. But even worse, not even during war times, certain cultures are so emotionally unstable that they leash out at anyone they perceive has the same nationality or skin color or eats the same food as some identified threat. Asians during covid especially in the US is an excellent example. Or how about the Japanese internment camps of thousands of innocent AMERICAN citizens of Japanese origin in the US after the pearl harbor attacks. Those American Japanese were the same who served in WW2 and became the highest decorated war heros who fought for the US. History has a funny way to put racists and dumb people into their right place.
Please explain how the West can de-nazify Russia from such "ordinary" people without affecting other "ordinary" people.
