^ That’s btw what happens in Ukraine as well. If you are against dictatorships, or turning a country into a prison, or kidnapping innocent people off the streets to send them to their deaths - you will find at least one [politician] who will say that you are “a Russian” (and therefore it’s morally okay to do whatever to you, as we all know - Russians aren’t humans, they are orcs, right?) :)

(Of course, the longer the dictatorship gets, the less effective this trick becomes…)

Ah yes, The Spectator, one of the most rabidly anti-Russian publications, have all of a sudden adopted a pro-Russian narrative. It’s quite something to witness libs react when their ideological bubble is burst. 🤡
