It’s not naïvety, it’s that that west would appreciate the same treatment when they send spies and assassins, which they do.
> which they do. Citation sorely needed
I'm no assassin but wonder how someone could fail to kill someone with poison. Aren't there a million deadly choices out there that would do the job reliably? Is the FSB security apparatus this incompetent?
And Russia I think is the only country with a government poisoning lab and policy to do this stuff? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poison_laboratory_of_the_Sovie...

The country and government are people. Without people it's nothing. Remove the government overnight and the people aren't going to replace it with western leadership.
Government is the main oppressor and enemy of the society in most societies, and especially in Russia.

I'm in the west and I'm often the only person in the room who is aware that the US has been murdering children in almost a dozen countries around the globe for the past two decades. Like they are vaguely aware on a surface level but they haven't really conceptualized the fact and say things like "Russias unprecedented invasion!" dramatically and as if they had a moral leg to stand on.
Unintentional collateral death in the pursuit of preventing much bigger tragedies is in no way comparable to an intentional conquest and indiscriminate bombing of civilian targets. Not to mention the direct molestations and mutilations that the author has extensively documented. And of course the many attempted cover ups (culminating in the attempted assassination). The moral equivocating is absolutely despicable. Ha…
I would add, contrary to that, physical eradication of certain parts of society has been and is the goal of Russian rulers. (Ukrainian hunger, Ukrainian dams in 1930s - the purge of Ukrainians didn't start February last year)
This story is being falsely flagged.

>the US has been murdering children in almost a dozen countries around the globe for the past two decades. Do you want to spell out what countries, specifically, you have in mind here?
Pakistan, Yemen, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and Somalia from the top of my head. That isn't to mention CIA backed coups, etc. Isn't it weird most Americans can't name, much less find on a map, the nations they are at war with?

You're talking about 140 million people here
The country is the problem. It's almost like radioactive material. If you have small number of Russians they are perfectly normal people (with some quirks but whatever). If you get enough of them they go supercritical and create antihuman authocracy :)

The Grayzone is one of the best outlets there is. The smears about them on Wikipedia are by users with a political axe to grind. Go ahead and google the usernames of the Wikipedia users that voted them an unreliable source I’ll wait.
You just describe yourself with this statement, not The Grayzone.
