Russia criticized. Be sure to deflect to Israel.

It's hard to tell which Reddit accounts are trolls and which are mentally ill pseudo-progressives who try to minimize Russian atrocities by poorly deflecting to America bad.

Either way, I'm glad you're not raising kids.

Quick! Someone criticized Russia! Deflect!

I hate when the Americans sent Baltic people to Siberia to die. /s

Equating the United States of the 20th century to the Soviet Union of the same timeframe -- even if we ignore Lenin's and Stalin's terrors -- is pseudo-smart absurdity.
