        Yeah, who wouldn’t be pro-Russian these days, what with their invading sovereign countries and oppressing LGBTQ people inside their borders? And then there’s the bishops blessing nuclear weapons. Great place. Absolutely wonderful.

          If I am in favor of someone, I need to be 100% in on all they do. Got it.

          In reality, I do not agree with people on 100% of what they do/say.

            So you’re saying that other than oppressing its own people for daring to love someone other than the opposite gender or being their birth gender, invading a sovereign country and blessing nuclear weapons as holy objects, Russia is a wonderful place and supporting them is the right thing to do. Gotcha.

            How do you feel about North Korea?
