    This is how state Russian media works. Never cover the truth, like a war with Ukraine. It’s a “special military operation”.

      American’s will never fail to blame foreigners for all their problems. It’s zero surprise America is in this state when both sides of it’s political system are xenophobic nationalists who believe in the modern version of the Judeo-Bolshivik conspiracy theory.

      A bit racist to turn a story about Americans abusing other Americans into “this is why russia is evil”.

      To adress the vestiges of an actual point that you had: Countries like Kazakhstan have a mutual defense treaty with Russia. Declaring war formally would obligate them to join the conflict, in a massive escalation that would be bad for everyone.

        Fascists want complete control, and it sends a message not to come here. They only want ‘their kind’, meaning white racist conservatives. Detaining is a power play. Just a reminder, this is the trump government, not the citizens. The majority of people are welcoming, only about 25% of Americans are complete and utter trash.

          Yeah, that’s a quarter of the population my dude. That’s not a good look. Why would anyone want to go to a place where 1 in every 4 people hate you?

          You say “only” but one in every four is a pretty significant amount of people who support jailing you just for being brown

          There hasn’t been a US government in my life time that wasn’t unspeakably racist and evil, so it’s kind of hard to believe the majority are welcoming.
