@knopkaplay0507 Putin is pretty apathetic to the fate of that region. Russians have been fleeing that region and will tell people in central Russia that this war is real and very serious, and it is time to end the war. But you already know that I am sure.

Proof that capitalism, as done by Americans and Europeans, is weirdly better for the environment than radical Marxism. What happened to the Aral Sea, Mr. Lenin?

White blue white!

@knopkaplay0507 eh? I am a rich, privileged American. I guess I shouldn't harshly judge the poor peasants of Russia who didn't have the same opportunities I did. Shame on me!

@knopkaplay0507 Zemlyak, I hope you try to make a difference to bring Putin to his knees. Only then will Mother Russia have any chance of being free again.

@knopkaplay0507 I am an American who likes to troll the Kremlin trolls by pretending to be a pro-Svoboda Rossiyi troll, even though I doubt such a thing exists. Sovoboda Rossiyi is not that coordinated. Sorry if I assumed you were a Kremlin-based troll.

@knopkaplay0507 cool. it just says свобода России in 4 lines: сво бода Росс ии I think it makes it easier to read, and Kremlin trolls seem to notice it sometimes, usually on Denys Davydov's channel. Mostly I try to get them anxious that Russians might not be so unified in support for Putin after all. But you're right that I must be a chthonic character. I'm still sore about what Russia did to my family/ ancestors in Finland.

And white blue white is the flag of the Freedom for Russia Legion, and also an anti-war / peace symbol in Russia.

@knopkaplay0507 wow that's really interesting! Thanks for sharing about what you experienced in DC. I've always been very polite with Russians in person when discussing these issues, both before 2022 and after. Yeah, I remember that there is quite a range of opinions. I used to volunteer to teach English somewhere and about half of the students were adult immigrants from Russia and other post-soviet countries like Ukraine. Had a couple interesting conversations. They depended a lot on Russian news sources, and back then the propaganda was not really as aggressive. Now I fear for their sanity since they probably still watch Russian media online even though they live here in the states.

@knopkaplay0507 I doubt they are better off. All sides are full of it, but some sides are definitely fuller of it than others--and actually I do mean that.

@knopkaplay0507 Did you ever come to the US to study? I apologize if anything we did ticked you off. We do want peace with Russia long term, and always have. I know you get paid for every reply I give. You are going to need the rubles, so I don't feel bad. I am not interested in any Russian propaganda. I know Denys is propaganda too, but he is so pessimistic about Ukraine's performance I find him pretty reliable.

@knopkaplay0507 alright, peace dude. I'm glad I at least come off as human. So do you. It turns out there is always light at the end of the tunnel.

@knopkaplay0507 Putin is angry in his bunker right now about this? Why? He's safe.

@knopkaplay0507 I said, Putin is apathetic to their plight. Their suffering doesn't matter to his goals. Sorry it has come to this, but everyone in Russia needs to wake up about Putin's responsibility for this situation.

@knopkaplay0507 Putin reported that the situation is under control. That is easy for him to say as he has no empathy for the average Russian person and their hardships.

@knopkaplay0507 in case you are curious, some of my main sources of information are Konstantin (Inside Russia), Vlad Vexler, and Denys Davydov. All three men are ethnic Russians, native Russian speakers like vi. Kak potom! Why don't you look inside yourself and see you have more in common with these three men than more than 60 percent of Russians.
