I didn't say anything about the people. Every Russian person I have met is super nice.

Governments though, they suck. Governments bomb apartment buildings full of people. These particular governments are barbaric.

I think it is important to acknowledge that both the US government and the Russian government are responsible for terrible atrocities. It is not racist to say that.

All the Russians you have met left Russia :)

While funny, I actually genuinely don't believe that an entire population of people is "bad." I've actually made a point of living in a lot of historically "bad" places, and it turns out, everyone just wants to eat good food and have a good time 😅
