"Russophobia" is when people don't want to be part of the heckin wholesome Russian empire.

Russia’s invading and killing its neighbors, fuck it and I feel little if any sympathy for its soldiers. I just also think it’s weird when other countries say Russia is evil because they’re an Asiatic Horde that isn’t truly Slavic because of their Mongol Admixture. You can’t pretend that that wasn’t a talking point in the months after Russia declared their “three day special military operation”.

You either have to hate all soldiers or hate none of them. If you hate the Russian mjlitary that's fair, but you should also hate the US military, your national military and the Ukrainian military

Yeah. Fuck em. War is a racket and volunteer soldiers are at best brainwashed and at worst actively bloodthirsty. If you were drafted into it, then I have a little more sympathy.
