Why should I write nasty things about my homeland? Why should I support lies about my country, my people, if they are lies?
Use your fucking brain sometimes...
Even if I'm somewhere, not objective in my assessment, and that's what I wrote about, that everyone here has a subjective point of view, I try to argue my point of view, attach some facts, and then lead a discussion with those with whom I disagree.
Create a thread about Russia, and believe me I will write about all the problems in Russia and my complaints about its leadership. (from my point of view!)

Killing political opponents , allowing no critical media , enriching himself and his friends billions while sending out poor russian soldiers for little pay, poorly equipped as cannon fodder in Ukraine for no reason. Families not even knowing what happend to their loved ones because god forbid we should say this is a war. How can you allow yourself this. You have to learn to respect yourself so you can stand up to tyrants.
Who told you this nonsense, where did you read it?
Have you been to Russia yourself, at least in the last ten years?
There is more freedom in Russia now than all of you put together. In Russia, until very recently, they never touched the Western media, even though the latter blatantly carried enemy propaganda. All opposition political forces are still working perfectly well, and no one is infringing on them (KPRF, SR-Zf PravdU). Even Navalny had been working in Russia for years, even though he made no secret of the fact that he had worked for Western grants, and nobody bothered him until he started committing one fraud after another under the guise of his activities, and was repeatedly given suspended sentences. The people of Russia were outraged.
One of the main grievances of the people of Russia against Putin is that he is too soft!!!!
You open your mouth and talk about the lack of freedom in Russia, have you even thought about what you have going on? I don't know what country you are from, it doesn't matter. You haven't had any freedom for a long time, not in the European Union, not in the United States. To talk about some kind of freedom in the U.S. is such a ridiculous nonsense about the real thing, that only idiots believe this crap! A country where just yesterday the police brutally beat a detainee again, a country where dozens of people are murdered every day, a country with the largest prison population in the world, a country where only two political parties operate and there is no alternative choice, and the representatives of these parties, are chosen by the financial magnates who lobby them, far from the common people.
In Europe, where protesters are dispersed with police batons and water cannons, where only a few countries have direct elections of the country's leaders. I could write about this forever, the question for you is: "Is this supposed to be your "freedom"? Well, at least you studied the subject before you opened your mouth!
What do you know about the Russian Army to write your nonsense?
I am a retired military officer. I lived through the crisis in Russia in the early 90s, when the army was virtually abandoned to its fate. None of this is even close to happening now! Russia's military now has one of the highest salaries, very many social guarantees. I was entitled to a military pension for the rest of my life at the age of 37!!!
The Russian Army is now one of the best armies in the world, if not the best, at least in terms of combat experience, that is for sure. And this is not my assessment, it's YOUR assessment!
The Russian Army is now fighting at 20% of its real capabilities in Ukraine against the entire NATO bloc! And winning! There is a whole contingent of the Russian Army in Syria and it is conducting successful actions against ISIS terrorists, conducting large-scale military exercises in the Far East and this when the Army is conducting military actions in Ukraine. It is elementary logic, put your brain to work and think about how invested Russia is in the war in Ukraine, while conducting military operations, although not quickly, but victoriously.
Now the Russian military registration and enlistment offices are accepting volunteers to serve in the special military operation in Ukraine. They conclude contracts with them, with salaries ranging from 250,000 to 300,000 rubles. This is a large salary by Russian standards! In addition to a huge number of social guarantees and insurance. And this is being carried out, I have personally checked that the family of a dead soldier received 5,000,000 rubles of lump sum insurance and will receive a survivor's pension.
Thus, there are long lines of volunteers at the military registration and enlistment offices in Russia who are ready to go to fight in Ukraine even without pay, because they know what they are doing and what they are going to fight for!
Your problem is that you have all your information about Russia from your lying sources and from the 90s, when Russia was in deep crisis.
I know this for a fact because I have many acquaintances in Europe and in the US who tell me that they constantly have to change their compatriots' minds and get rid of outdated stereotypes about Russia.
In 2018, I attended many of the World Cup matches held in Russia. I talked to many fans who came to Russia from different countries. They were amazed at the difference between what they were shown and told all the time about Russia and what they saw with their own eyes. They were amazed at the highest level of service, the quality of life in Russia. And the championship was held not only in Moscow, but in many cities in Russia!
If you don't know shit about Russia today, why open your mouth and write outright nonsense?
I wrote about Ursula von der Leyen's remarks because it can be easily verified to be true, but where are your arguments to back up your words?
and tell me that it is very tasty
