Ordinary Russians speak of Ukraine 🇺🇦 Poland 🇵🇱 and the Baltics. No way anyone can be beutral@with neighbors like these:

They sound exactly like the MAGAts do..... They live in an alternate reality.

1. They live in a totalitarian regime where saying

anything against it risks jail or worse for themselves and their families.

[Nevilledog]

3. So they don't have the choice to keep their mouths shut?

[Phoenix61]

6. "Why don't you want to answer the question?"

“Do you not support Russia? Putin?” So much safer to spew the party line and get on with your day.

[Nevilledog]

7. Their answers go beyond the party line IMHO

2. These awful people deserve every sanction and misfortune.

Rot in hell.

[Bettie]

4. After watching that, I feel much less

sorry for the average Russian.

I'm sure there are decent people there, but it's like looking for the decency at a MAGA rally, not much to be found and if it's there, it is well hidden.

9. There are decent Russians. I've met them.

Many are headed out the exits as we speak!

5. Wars Have A Way of Lasting Longer And Costing More

than you originally thought. It may seem unlikely today but I wouldn't be surprised if the Ukrainians decide to have their own special operation on Russian soil at some point in the future.

Conversations like these are only going to encourage Russia's neighbors to take appropriate actions. Oh, and none of the folks being interviewed look like they'd last 3 minutes in a combat situation.

8. Nobody does alternate reality better than the Soviet Union

*ahem* Russian Federation.

10. They're the ones who believe all the propaganda from Putin's...

Russian state media. The ones interviewed are kinda vicious. And some quite ignorant. Like the woman who said they have strong missiles that will destroy America. Like Russia is the only one with nukes.

It's not just our nukes pointed Russia, France and the UK's nukes are pointed at Russia too.
