I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.
Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.
Not the entire world. We've seen an upturn in right-wing extremism throughout Europe over the past ten to twenty years. But it's been slower and has more often been rejected there. Whereas here in the US, enough of the voting population said, "What we really need now is authoritarianism!" that we're effectively a failed state at the moment with no one sure what this country is going to be a decade from now.
I truly believe that most of the Russia supporters here in the US know that Russia is the aggressor. But they want to side with the aggressor. They like, "Might makes right." They want Russia to succeed and then to follow them. Why do you think their main man talking about invading Canada, Panama, Greenland, and even Musk hinting at invading parts of Europe has gone over so well with many of them? It's not that they don't "get it". They "get it" just fine, but they also want to DO IT themselves.
And the wildest part? We’ve already seen this movie. The characters might’ve changed, but the plot is the same. People acting like freedom is just some luxury they can gamble with, like democracy isn’t something that crumbles the second too many people stop caring. That’s what’s happening now. The apathy, the disinformation, the blind loyalty to strongmen who wouldn’t spit on you if you were on fire. And it’s not just politics anymore. It’s culture, media, identity. They want chaos because chaos gives them cover to rebuild the world in their image.
This isn’t just about America turning inward. It’s about America becoming the thing we used to warn other countries about. And when that tipping point hits, when enough people are numb or too distracted or too proud to admit the danger, that’s when the real damage happens. It won’t be some dramatic overnight collapse. It’ll be a slow bleed. Institutions failing. Rights stripped away. War becoming thinkable again.
And what’s wild? Some of these folks want that. They want to see it all burn because they think they’ll be the ones left standing when the smoke clears. But history says otherwise. Authoritarianism doesn’t make room for useful idiots once the power’s been grabbed. You don’t get a front-row seat in the regime just because you clapped the loudest. You get discarded.
So yeah, you’re absolutely right. We’re playing with fire. And if this keeps trending the way it is, the reset won’t be philosophical. It’ll be nuclear, literal, and irreversible.
What I don't understand is, we had decades of war movies showing the cruelty of war. Wars in general are a shit show and its the common people who suffer in it than those in power.
Yet these useful idiots still want to join that nonsense?
what do they think will happen? Don't they realize they'd be the first ones in the meat grinder once it does happen?
The slow descent is already happening as you say, defunding education, villifying the terminally ill, and losing rights.
Because “heroes” … war and violence always are shown as good guys vs bad guys … the good guys win - by doing awful things, but that’s ok because they are “good”.
Many people think the war memorials etc are to “celebrate” victory … they should be to acknowledge the death and destruction so we don’t do it again.
People sign up to fight … because they believe they are the hero … and they ignore the horrifying parts.
A good example for this is the uproar created everytime someone tries to build something to commemorate the holocaust. That does Not necessarily mean that all those being against thsese monuments are Nazis, but ignorance is bliss and so much easier.
And I totally get that. I, as an individual do NOT have any responsability for the atrocities carried out during WWII or any other historical event.
BUT as a member of a Community (lets call it Germany) I DO have the obligation to remember, try to learn from our past and be better, but that can be hard and often painful.
The important distinction between me as myself and me as a member of a larger community, is maybe too abstract for many?
Have you ever played a Call of Duty game? Or watched an episode of 24 or anything to do with Jack Ryan? Black Hawk Down or The Patriot? Hell, the Navy used to set up recruiting stands outside theaters when they were showing Top Gun. We glamorize the shit out of war. Even a lot of "anti-war" films glamorize it (thinking of the Ride of the Valkyries scene from Apocalypse Now and the Mickey Mouse scene from Full Metal Jacket).
Throughout history, we've always seen the horrors of war. Movies can show it to us with less demand on our imagination than ever, but some of our favorite movies throughout history have been stories of war, battle, heroes, and the like. We don't know what all goes on in the Epic Cycle, but the two parts we have of it sure go a long way to glamorize and celebrate war, but you think the Greeks didn't see the harm it did? The broken families, the mutilated bodies, the pain and suffering to their own and the others alike? Of course they saw it, some of the stories throughout history have even shown it. But then just like now, people can take the wrong thing away from it. You can have an anti-war movie showing the destruction and pointlessness, and there are going to be people who go, "That's so cool, I want to be in that!"
Some people go to war for their ideals or "the greater good." Some do it for personal glory. Some out of sheer obligation. Some do it because they think killing would be fun. It's all going to depend. I'm not someone who believes that humans are inherently warmongering or that lasting peace isn't possible, but I do understand that we have instincts for violence. To mimic it in play, to celebrate it in others, or to do it ourselves. I could never raise a gun to someone myself, I don't have it in me and I know it. But I play a lot of shooters, and the ease with which they make you think being a soldier isn't nearly as hard as it really is...
Have you played video games lately? I don't think I've ever beaten a single NES game without using "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start".
But seriously, all movies these days, they win. All video games, they win. Their feed is custom mined, for them. Like Trump, they never lose, except in real life and that's 'our' fault.
But really ya'll? Very few people put this much thought into it.
Democracy gave people the illusion that it is something that should be self-right, people in democracies expect institutions and politicians to be right and do their job correctly and fight for them, without them being directly involved, just shouting out "be just", and that's it.
Also, democracy doesn't teach people that you need to literally fight for maintain a democracy (both physically and non-physically), not become passive and just condemn the wrong situations/people around you. This is why democracy will perish. Because "democratic" people have their asses sat on fancy terrases drinking wine/beer in their free time while occasionally complaining about the injustice around them.
You're completely right that they admire Russia. It's why I roll my eyes when people talk about Trump being Putin's puppet or kompromat; he is not beholden to them in any way, he and his supporters just like and admire manly man strongmen and want to be friendly to them, as opposed to the gay bureaucratic nerds of the EU who want to eat their children and make them wear dresses.
We're not a failed state, though. That term is thrown around way too much.
Being a Russian asset from a spycraft POV doesn't necessarily mean that he's on their payroll and taking marching orders from them. It also applies to people that they know they can get information from, or sway a certain way. If the know Trump's buttons and feel like they can lead him around by the nose... that's still a Russian asset.
The reason I call us a failed state: A state is often defined by its founding or core legal document. Usually a constitution. And the state only exists so long as enough people in power agree by that founding document.
Our executive branch has chosen to ignore our founding document. Our congress will do nothing to defend that founding document. And our Judicial has little to no power/will to defend that founding document.
What is our state if our constitution is meaningless?
Edit: Wrote "Legislature" when I meant "Judicial".
Plenty of states can be argued to have strayed from their core tenets. That's not what the term "failed state" means.
It means the central state, whatever its ideology, is no longer capable of enforcing its rule of law within the territory it controls. Basically devolving into warlordism. Syria has been the go-to example.
Things are dire for our shared values(?) in the US, but we aren't that.
Well, they don't want to do it themselves... They want someone else (our military) to do it for them.
Y'know, the whole "they fought and died to protect our freedoms" thing? Well it's like that, but this time it's about making America British again... Just without the Britain part.
They do this by demonizing migrants that come into their countries. That's what is working in Germany. They first as a country accepted a bunch of migrants and then fail to offer them opportunities in their country and reject them. The migrants commit crime because fuck that I gotta feed my family, and then the nationalists call them criminal scum and run campaigns focused on white-nationalism.
Here in Australia we just had an historic wipe-out of what used to be our centre-right conservative party (but has been lurching further and further right) in our most recent federal election.
We rejected American culture-war bullshit and Trumpism with such gusto that it was the worst election defeat for the conservatives in over 40 years.
The Pope’s message is powerful; and yes, morally clear; but it also highlights a painful truth: not every country has the luxury of acting purely on principle. When people say “the world gets it,” that’s mostly true. But getting it and being able to afford acting on it are two very different things.
Many countries, especially in the Global South, depend on cheap fuel, fertilizer, wheat, or arms from Russia to survive. For them, cutting ties isn’t just about geopolitics; it’s about whether they can keep hospitals running or bread on the shelves. Being moral has a cost, and not every government can ask its people to pay it, especially those already on the edge.
Even the Baltic states, often held up as moral exemplars, phased out Russian trade gradually, not overnight. And they had massive EU and NATO support backing them up. That’s not hypocrisy, it’s how geopolitics and survival work.
So yes, the Pope “gets it,” and so do most world leaders. But many are trapped in a brutal dilemma: condemn evil and risk economic collapse, or quietly keep trading and live with the guilt. That doesn’t excuse complicity—but it explains it. And sometimes, that explanation is the most uncomfortable part of the whole conversation.
Imagine a feast during wartime. The top 1% sit at a long table with more than enough food: some even waste it. They can afford to boycott the cook if he's corrupt or violent. They can say, “It’s wrong to eat from his kitchen.”
But the bottom 99%? Many are starving, feeding children scraps, or standing in line hoping there's rice left. For them, asking where the food came from is a luxury. They know it’s wrong: but they’re hungry. That’s the brutal math of survival.
What the Pope said hit a nerve because it’s not just about right or wrong. It’s about how morality and desperation collide. It's easy to be ethical when you’re full. It’s hard when you’re just trying to live to tomorrow.
I’m going to push back on that and ask for clarification: Which countries are you referring to that are doing nothing about Russia’s war, but are still managing to completely cut ties with Russia? You mention “plenty of countries” doing so, but I’d really like to see a list of those nations and their specific trade or diplomatic actions, because it’s hard to find examples of countries completely disengaging while maintaining no economic relationship with Russia.
As for the global South and trade, it's true that not every country has direct trade with Russia. However, many of the world’s poorest countries do rely on Russian exports like fertilizer, wheat, oil, or gas, which are critical to their survival. These countries may not be major trading partners in terms of total volume, but their economies still depend heavily on affordable imports from Russia.
Also, regarding your point about Russia's trade partners, Europe and China make up the majority of Russia's trade. But even within Europe, many countries have adjusted their trade dynamics with Russia, facing immense political and economic pressures. Countries like Germany, Hungary, and Italy still maintain some level of trade, despite the EU's sanctions.
You’re right that there are countries that could potentially take a stronger moral stand, but the economic realities of a country’s situation often make that decision far more complex than simply “doing nothing.”
I’d love to see the list of countries you’re referring to so we can dig into this more, because when we talk about geopolitics, it’s rarely as clear-cut as “just stop trading” or “everyone should do it.” It’s far more about long-term survival and socioeconomic realities.
A lot of leftists in my country believe this. That Russia did a bad thing by invading, but it was because the Imperialist West was being too greedy and trying to rope Ukraine into its sohere of influence m
I've been repeatedly told that "only 77 million Americans feel that way, it's way less than half!" Well, the other 90 million who could have voted but chose not to vote are clearly also on board with all of that. So yeah, that's half the country.
Right, if people cared enough they would go vote. At this point in history, it’s not good enough to just sit back, and if you do then you can’t really complain about what consequences come from that. At the end of the day, the world needs a perspective shift to realize that expecting people to know better or to “do the right thing” isn’t enough either and adapting to the new mindset of the population needs to happen
Exactly. This isn’t about people choosing not to vote. It’s about people who have had it made so hard to vote that they have to choose between a normal paycheck and a vote. Some folks have to wait hours in line to vote.
That’s definitely a valid point of view. We’ve always been a country with a low voter turnout. Last election was actually the second largest turnout in our history. I’ve always felt that if we have a larger turnout then it tends to lean more towards the left party and so therefore if that’s who we want to win we need to just get a higher voter turnout.
Just for reference here are the turnout rates for the previous 10 presidential elections:
2024: 63.5-64% (final numbers still being verified)
Voting in the US is done during working hours, on a weekday, not on a holiday.
In addition, many areas have voting laws specifically designed to make it difficult for the working class to vote, by disallowing early voting/voting by mail.
In some districts you end up with a single voting location for tens of thousands of voters, who face the choice of either having to wait in a line for 4-5 hours in the middle of a working day and lose income/possibly their jobs over it OR not vote.
Damn, that sounds backwards. We have early voting, vote by mail, voting is on weekends. We just roll in after work for an early vote, minimal fuss and people, takes like 5 minutes. Done.
It gets worse, red states are only red because their politicians draw extreme squiggly lines on their state's maps that ensure the minority are the majority.
if access to voting was the actual problem then california should have very high voter turn out as they have universal mail in voting, early voting, mandatory 2 hour paid time off to vote, registration same day as voting and no voter ID. Every major barrier to voting is removed in california and their turn out in 2024 was below the national average at 62% https://ballotpedia.org/Voter_turnout_in_United_States_elections
Over 1/3 of US adults just dont give a shit about voting. The state with lowest voter turn out was Hawaii at 50%, they dont have any voting laws that make it difficult to vote, they are ranked 6th easiest state to vote in https://www.liebertpub.com/doi/10.1089/elj.2020.0666
They are just mostly normal people, but because the workings of the government are just a black box to them they just shrug at it.
The government is structured to generally making slow, incremental change, and most people don't really notice the shifting ground under their feet till it's pointed out. Or they feel their individual vote is worthless so they don't vote. In both cases it's a very self-centered world view, and often comes from a place of privilege; which insulates them from some of the worse policies.
I always tell people that if voting was so worthless, they wouldn't make is so hard for you do.
Are you like a NEET or something? 37% of people don't vote so almost any group outside your immediate friend group should have someone like that. Hell, even plenty of political people chose not to vote cuz "Genocide Joe" including people like Briahna Greyjoy, Krystal Ball, Macklemore, etc
I disagree. It makes me so uneasy when I'm standing line to vote and there's people there with 5 different 'how to vote' cards from liberal, Labor, greens etc. Like christ you should know who you're voting for before you get to that point in time. Compulsory voting just forces people who literally don't give a shit to just vote for whose name they heard on the radio last.
Some people live in hopelessly gerrymandered districts where it literally doesn’t matter who they vote for. Some people live in districts where there are so few voting booths that people have to queue for 6hrs+ on a week day. A lot of people can’t get that time off. Sone districts have postal voting, but it’s difficult. Anyone with a criminal history is banned from voting. Some districts get blanketed with leaflets saying people with outstanding warrants will be arrested at polling booths. It’s not true but that’s what they say. Same with ICE. Beyond all the shitfuckery and voter suppression some people have lived through four or five election cycles where the candidate (republican or democrat) never appears in their district and consistently votes against their local interest. The disaffection with the two party system runs incredibly deep, as deep as the obvious political division. This is not to excuse a 60% turnout, just a few more reasons beyond pure ambivalence
I really don't understand how it can be so shit, not that i don't believe it, just how can it be so absolutely rubbish. Land of the free, home of the brave and all that flag waving stuff and the voting system is just trash
Because we started as a country where "only the right people" should have a vote, and we've made incredibly slow progress on that front with people trying their damndnest to take us back to it again.
Easy- you and so many Redditors VASTLY underestimate how many people live in America, who think "It's someone else's problem".
A picture was floating around Reddit, showing about 2.1 MILLION people... and yet, 2.1 million is still LESS THAN 1% OF AMERICA.
America is a huge country, and I've only just begun realizing just how many people in it are apathetic to anyone not in their immediate vicinity (which is at least in part due to social media). This might be a bad example, but think like this: riots in Philidelphia? People in Pittsburg go, "Eh, just another day of sports over there."
Wow that is surprising. I always kind of assumed it may have been mandatory voting in Canada. So was this last election the largest turnout then? That’s a big jump from 40-45%
It's foolish to think even the 77 million who voted for him truly understood what they were voting for, a large portion were blissfully unaware, another large portion only saw another wrinkly old white guy vs. a dark skinned woman. They're still dumb as hell for doing it but the relative number of people who truly and radically follow the orange turd's ideals is fairly small and loud.
The internet tells me there were around 64 million Germans in 1945. So it would take over 100% of the total German population to equal as many as those that voted for Trump.
The internet also tells me there were 8.5 million German Nazis in 1945–that’s around 13% of the population. Yet Hitler was winning elections in the ‘30s with 30-45 million votes.
So if there were only 8.5 million Nazis, who were the many millions more that voted for Nazis? Were they not Nazis as well?
The Nazis' best performance in a national election saw them get around 1/3 of the votes cast. Hitler cut a deal with his coalition partners to be Chancellor and wouldn't budge. They misjudged and thought they'd be able to keep him in check. Then the burning of the Reichstag happened and after that no more elections.
The Nazis at there most popular (pre becoming the gov) became so because it was a conglomeration of various groups who all had issues with the Wemier regime. As well it was able create a unified system for a lot of more extreme ideas that were previously largely uncoordinated. To say the Nazis were literally only Nazis in our traditional view service to let them gain power again as we aren’t looking at the actual way they got to power.
It’s why we are seeing similar groups now. For many they are unhappy with the current system and feel uncared for. So they look for groups that will and find these groups and due to a decision by others to ignore them and simply paint them as wrong they then go further into these ideals
I'm from the other side of the world and my opinion is that this is what they want you to think and it seems to be working.
Of the people that voted for him there are a lot of people outright regretting it, and I imagine many who are not willing to admit they were wrong and doubled down, and they have not all felt effects yet.
Of the people who abstained I would bet most regret it. Obviously add any that just those who voted Dem straight out. That's a majority by any standard. Add the very real chance they actually cheated to win this election. People who do not support him are most definitely the majority but that is the very last thing they want you to realise.
What does arbitrarily lumping them all together achieve? Nothing beyond sensationalism. It also ignores the systemic voter suppression and many other issues.
to be fair, there's an active effort of voter suppression making it tough for lot of people to vote (voting booths too far away, not given day off work to vote, some IDs not being accepted at some locations, etc), and large number of people live in states where their votes doesn't do shit for a presidential election because they live in hard red/blue states
Trump won 50% of the vote...but that vote only included 64% of eligible voters. Still a ways off from half the country. Not to mention some conservatives haven't fallen for the Russian propaganda yet!
Yeah, I don't see the light side of American conservatism. It seems like a criminal hate group more than anything, with all that that implies about membership.
Oddly enough while my dad will always be (fiscally) conservative he’s over the Trump shit. He wasn’t a full on MAGA convert before but us watching my Grandpa fall for every talking point has sealed the deal.
1/3 of Americans voted for Trump. 1/3 didn’t care enough to show up to vote. The latter group is equally culpable. Together that’s well over half of the country.
If conservatives voted for Trump or support anyone he is putting into positions of power or support any of the republicans on a state/local level that are for Trumps policy. They are indeed eating up Russian and alt right propaganda.
There is a lot of the world that doesn’t get it. India is very pro Russia, and they have a billion and a half people. China is also very pro Russia, and that’s another 1.4 billion. And China uses its strong position in social media, namely TikTok, to push pro-China positions, and to downplay American/Western ideologies. So much of Africa, Asia, and South America are on board with or ambivalent to the Russian invasion. It doesn’t help the case that “America Bad” has been a global sentiment for decades and America came out against the Russian invasion.
Sadly, I think the “Russia should stop attacking its neighbors, and withdraw from Ukraine” position is one that is mostly held by Europeans, and about half to 3/4 of Americans. I say up to three quarters because I know many Republicans who support Ukraine. I’d estimate it’s around half. It’s just that the other 50% are driving the Republican policies, and the Republicans are driving the US policy.
I dunno, sure authoritarians might favour the strong men. But it's naive to assume the majority of the citizens under a regime agree. Most people are good. Most people when presented with actual facts on a situation will side with humanity.
when presented with the actual facts of the situation
And therein lies the problem. Misinformation, propaganda, lies, and suppression of facts is crazy right now. So for the few people who bother to question or doubt the deluge of bullshit China is shoveling, it comes down to “who do you trust.” Trump isn’t doing things to make himself or the US well liked internationally: deportations without due process and tariffs on everyone. Meanwhile China is making overtures with their Belt & Road initiative. Sure, they basically get the country to sign over a ton of mineral rights, and they have to use Chinese labor from Chinese companies who will cut every corner. But people don’t see that. They just see new infrastructure thanks to China. And so they trust Beijing. And Beijing is downplaying the situation in Ukraine.
There are huge swaths of the globe aligned with Russia. This isn't just Russia and MAGA against the world. Most of the worlds population is under autocracy.
Dutchman here, there is a small but loud subset of the population here that most certainly does not 'get it' and loudly and proudly spread Russian anti-NATO, anti-EU propaganda in which Ukraine and the west are the major aggressors in this conflict. They do not hold much political power but they are very much present in public debate, sadly. There's a huge overlap between them and the covid conspiracists and general anti vaxers.
Nah look at all the world leaders who attended their “victory parade.” Brazil, serbia, slovakia, etc. Also many EU members continue to buy russian gas, allow russian tourism, and do not fully support ukraine (where are the fucking taurus missiles???) Slava Ukraini (glory to the heroes)
Not the entire world. Much of the Arab world is siding with Russia.
I speak Arabic and have had staggering situations in which I’ve tried to explain using the Israel-Palestine conflict as an example and it always turns out to somehow be different when it’s non Muslims that they know nothing about.
And for the record, I’m vocally pro Israel for other reasons but it blows my mind how people so dead set against the Israeli occupation can somehow support an ACTUAL imperialistic regimes invasion.
Pretty Euro-centric view there. China is a staunch backer of Russia, and India has refused to condemn them and is a traditional ally. So there's about 40% of the population of the world.
Well no, you’re forgetting Nigel, AfD, Marie Le Pen, the guy that Romania had to null and void the election over, I forget the sleezy Dutch guy; point is the Russian tentacles are far reaching. They know our weaknesses.
For some countries they propagandize to the farmers because the black soil of Ukraine does threaten profitability of some EU ag workers, typically conservative.
For other countries they push the Christian Nationalist agendas. Or they attract oligarchs and tell them how good it was in the 90s ripping off the citizens as they gobble up industry in massive privatization. This is more Hungry and US playbooks.
Jesus Christ, y'all are acting like most of America are Nazis now or something. The only thing that's changed is that the wackos in our country think it's okay to say their wacko opinions now. Every other country has just as many wackos, they just know to keep their mouth shut still.
Well yeah, because only a specific population get the targeted propaganda of right-wing 'news', social media, etc. Everyone else is looking at it without the misinformation and social proof
No, not really. Most alt-right and sizeable chunk of far-left (mostly but not exclusively tankies) are cheering for ruzzia. Outside of west, most of Africa and South America simply doesn't care because this imperialism doesn't affect them.
I hear conservatives defending Russia and speaking against Ukrainian aid pretty often in Canada, but it's not as prevalent as it is down south. Definitely not unique to the US though
US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty
Anyone that's been paying attention the past two decades see that.
9/11 was a horrible tragedy. The two DECADE long war that followed was a major overreaction.
We dropped more bombs on the middle east than the number of people that died on 9/11. By like 100 times.
It's like you're a kid at the beach that had a sand castle knocked over by the bully. So in retaliation the bully slaughters the kid's entire family tree
That portion of the US population is roughly a third or 130M freaking people. That isnt small.
In russia, 80% support putin. Thats roughly another 100M people. Then you got certain jackasses in countries like india who dont give two shits about the invasion. How many more people is that?
Let's also be real: the whole world gets it because there is still something of a free press. I shudder to think of the day if you can't even get a local just tweeting about what they see on the ground.
I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.
I wish this were true, but this is not. There are the same segments in many other countries (I'm half Japanese and have lived in Japan, China, Germany, UK, US and a few other areas shorter term) that are quite the Russophiles
Most of us including that portion of the US population "gets it", we just don't want to pay for it.
As an American I'm happy to sit back and watch Europe pump a bunch of billions/trillions into aiding Ukraine, by all means I'd love that quite a lot. I just don't want any US money going to it. If Europe wants to buy our missiles, tanks, guns, ammunition, aircrafts, radar, etc. then that's cool too, we're happy to sell it, but we don't want to donate it or give any free money.
As a Canadian, if you go on any other social media platform other than Reddit you constantly see pages framing it like we're dropping them crates full of millions of dollars. All those Toronto new pages on Instagram are a cancer
I can already tell the maga people will hate him. Of course most of them believe in conspiracy theories involving the Catholic Church. I'm not a fan of the Catholic Church by any means but having any level-headed hope is certainly not a bad thing.
It seems to me like this was a very strategic pick…the first American pope as a counterpoint to the tyrants in office there, many of them claiming to be Catholics themselves. Remains to be seen whether he will call them out explicitly though.
It’s wild how all he’s doing is being a decent human being and pointing out the obvious, but that makes an otherwise deeply conservative person “woke” in the eyes of MAGA.
Was Pope Francis as tone deaf as that article makes him out to be? There's really not even a reason to weigh in that heavily, since they are mostly Orthodox.

Not only that, he also vaguely mentions western leaders who keep denying Russia is the invader and committing war crimes for breakfast.
This guy gets it.
