    Maybe they should stop playing devils advocate for Russia in general, If you have to have a conversation about the Genocidal Mob state, and throw a bunch of ifs, ands, or buts in the discussion. You’re already stoking trouble.

    America can be bad, and Russia can be equally bad in the same instance.

      Russia is not a global Hegemon. Even if it wanted to be as bad as the US, it physically can’t do nearly the damage the US does on a daily basis.

        They are currently invading and occupying multiple neighbouring countries.

        And unlike the places the US goes to, life is far worse under Russian occupation.

          The US is the world’s largest Empire. It plunders the Global South on a constant basis, and has committed numerous genocides and invasions. From Palestine to Korea to Iraq to Vietnam to Angola to Nicaragua to Afghanistan to Cambodia to the Phillipines to many, many more places, the US is on a ceaseless slaughter-course.

        Oh, sorry, I forgot. They only practice corruption, warmongering, barbaric mass murder and ethnocide on a regional scale. I apologize
