First of all, however shitty Russian regime is (you have no idea how I hate that crap), by the amount of crimes committed lately it's not worse than Turkey or Israel, or a certain superpower backing them. So if it is in that court, and those others are not, the fact alone will be ironic enough.
I'm getting tired of this 'whataboutism'.
It's the same Russian logic: "look, there is also shitty countries around us in the world. So it's ok if our country and we, like the people, are the same: with bad quality of education, without freedom, bad quality of life, living in fascist criminal state, illegally annexing territories, killing civilians, not respecting each other's boundaries (because we are "collectivists" and not individualists, who care about themselves. It's always ok to die for our dictator-criminal), we steal each other's things, etc. And it's definitely ok to change nothing. And it's definitely ok to act like barbarians and then not to take personal responsibility for your own actions."
It's YOUR country and we are talking about YOUR country and no one else. Don't look at others. Do not normalize that.
