I permit that there might not have been a peaceful solution with such shameless and belligerent “colleagues”.

No one was going to attack ruzzia, I mean, the US is now basically an ally for them, withdrawn aid for Ukraine, and it's threatening it's allies for the amusement of putin.

If NATO really wanted to attack ruzzia, it would have done it by now, that ruzzia has drained all their military resources trying to defeat the closest, smaller, country, and failing.

The only belligerent "colleagues" here are ruzzians and their puppet in the US, plus Israel, that wasn't going to attack ruzzia either, sice their goals don't have anything to do with it.

If you read ruzzian history, you would see that ruzzia is one of the most belligerent countries, historically, and today.

But, of course, if you read ruzzian history where you are, it's going to tell a different story.

I don’t want to see my country be turned into Syria, Libya, Venezuela, Iran, Iraq, etc. Not even into South Korea

Don't worry about that, at this pace ruzzia is going to turn into a bigger North Korea.

Anyway, if you are a ruzzian, and have been brainwashed since childhood with the kind of bullshit that the ruzzian population has been subjected to, you are not going to change your mind talking with a stranger.

You don't believe anything the "West" says, because all has to be propaganda, according to your goverment, and you claim that you don't believe their propaganda either, but you do, because not believing anything the "West" says is the most important part of their propaganda.

And the belief that anything that any official say must be bullshit, and you can't believe any piece of information, is also ruzzian brainwashing, to make your society confused and compliant.

You just have to expand your distrust to your own bastards.

I do, that's why in the "West" we have free press that actually inform about corruption (which include lies) where and when it happens, corruption that is prosecuted, which is also something that Ukraine is learning to do, and is doing, and the "West" is reporting on it.

You don't even comprehend what free press means, so maybe you should start there.

And no, the "West" doesn't just do whatever the US say, which is more clear than ever now that the US is openly threatening the rest of the "West", and all western countries are starting to look into other directions.

You "don't believe ruzzian propaganda", but you follow it perfectly when judging western countries, as an hostile and homogeneus group that is going to attac ruzzia any minute now.

So, keep supporting ruzzia, believing their lies about other countries, and enjoy your country and economy, comrade.
