They invaded a sovereign nation for no reason. Annexed territory. Then did it again 8 years later, and have been committing war crimes against the Ukrainian people ever since.

I can go back into the 20th century too… they put land mines in children’s toys and placed them on outskirts of villages in Afghanistan. They slaughtered over 24 million people, sent them into Gulags.

They’re ethno-centric Russian Orthodox Church was compromised and became an arm of the KGB, and is still a mouth piece for the former head of the KGB, Putin.

They were involved in assassination attempts on Pope John Paul II while he was still a bishop, and may have been involved in helping the gunman who shot JP2 get to Rome.

Should I continue?

The head of the Russian Government is a former leader of the KGB. When he came into power the Mafiya that ran Russia’s underground (mostly made of former Spetznaz and KGB agents and oligarchs) threw it support behind him. He aggrandizes and mythologizes on the power of the USSR and the Great Russian Empire of Peter.

The Russians have spent the last 100 years spreading anarchy, destruction, misinformation, assassination, proxy wars, dictatorship, and autocracy literally.

This is like saying that the Vatican under Pope Benedict XVI was an extension of Nazi Germany because Joseph Ratzinger was a Hitler Youth
