    My source on this is a filipina friend who is a nanny for a Russian family. The family has very recently moved to Dubai and apparently are otherwise fairly educated people. They are not receiving uncensored information and are unlikely to find it inside Russia unless they specifically go looking for it, which is uncomfortable.

    Since moving to Dubai and being exposed to the true scale of the war they are worried about either ww3 having already started or the beginning of the next Russian revolution. They moved to Dubai looking for a bit of global safety but unfortunately didn’t find it, and they are unwelcome pretty much everywhere else in the world.

      That’s really sad. I hate how people hold civilians and refugees responsible for the actions of their madmen leaders. There’s nothing even wrong if they love their own country.

      It’s the supremecists and nationalists that deserve all that rage. Bless anybody else who’s fortunate enough to escape the crossfire. :(

      The Russian people who don’t worship the regime or Wagner Group or whatever other bloodthirsty madmen, have been abused so badly, and I think they deserve our compassion.
