You must have been lucky enough to miss all the articles in 2022 claiming that Russians were fighting with shovels, or that they had never seen washing machines or paved roads. Or the delightful little not-at-all fascist trend of calling them "orcs".

Gotcha.

I never made that claim, you're just using it to imply I'm in some way bigoted because I don't agree with you. Orcs actually comes from a Russian American journalist and a Russian journalist but I'll let that one slide since it is fairly gross.

No one is saying they're backwards

You said the second one, but I am glad you're not on board with the orc thing
