Ok i don't disagree much with that, but i have to mention three things. First, i wrote to russian telegram channels that Putin didn't really care for the civilians that the Ukrainian Nazis bombarded in Donbass, with thousands of civilian deaths btw, and that he activated when the west went for his head and i did't got a ban. I got a ban in the opposite side because i said they were losing. Second, it was the west that banned rt and sputnik because they like censorship, while bbc which is spreading lies all the time, still operates in russia. Third, russians never claimed to be a beacon of democracy and free speech, the west does all the time and in the meanwhile, censorship, terrorist and genocide sponsors are all over the place in the west. Since we were talking about nordstream2, like said above, usa blew up your cheapest source of energy without asking you. They imposed this on you, while typically an ally. You have to know that the world believes that Germany is a puppet state now, no matter what the propaganda says in Germany. Is it wrong to say that? Something similar happened to us btw...
