Oh yeah a nation that spies on everything and arrests anyone who disagrees with Putin sure is gonna revolt.
Blaming a nation of people who are unable to change their government with voting or revolution doesn't help them. It makes you look like someone who'd blame all Japanese in America for Pearl Harbor.
Their options are not express free thought to a nation that kills its state officials when they are done being useful, or be buried near those officials in an unmarked grave.
The same logic applies to Americans in 2004. Not every american agreed with the Iraq invasion, but I guess Bush did all Americans must be removed from the Great equalizer of the Internet.
Hey, I'm not blaming all Japanese in America for Pearl Harbor, I'm blaming all Japanese in Japan for Pearl Harbor.
If you cannot express your opinion under the threat of death (but more likely, if you are a normal person and not a politician, a slap on the wrist or in worst case jail time), does your opinion really matter?
I have nothing to say about Iraq invasion except that one invasion for dumb reasons and shitty intelligence make all invasions for dumb reasons justified I guess.
