putin invades and occupies crimea and east ukraine with tanks and soldiers, the first time anyone has tried that kind of thing in 70 years since hitler sparked ww2
Most governments are corrupt and linked to crime. But the Russian government is not the same as Russia and good or evil are terms used to explain the world to kids or to justify cruelty. Why was it ok for the US to torture people just a decade ago? Because the other side is was labeled evil.
The Russian government is not evil, it is just corrupt, criminal and power thirsty.
How many country's did the USA invade since WW2 and how many people died while doing so? Are those dead alright since it happend in the fight against evil?
This USA = good, Russia = Evil is just post cold war bull**** that is used in the USA because it is way easier than actually trying to explain why thinks actually happen. No **** that. This is a board for political terms, so people should actally try to use their brains a bit instead arguing like Donald "The are bad, very bad" Trump
