      Jeet Heer Retweeted Not Just Putin

      This is alarmingly more extreme than the rhetoric USA used in Cold War (where it was often emphasized that an unfree people aren't responsible for their rulers' decisions) or the European theatre of World War II (the same). It's coming from a mainstream foreign policy group.https://twitter.com/NotJustPutin/status/1504798993913720832 …

      Jeet Heer Retweeted Not Just Putin

      To be clear, a think tank that is historically been an influence on NATO policy, wants to frame this as a war not just against Putin & the oligarchs but against "tens of millions of Russians"https://twitter.com/NotJustPutin/status/1504798993913720832 …

          you have an interesting definition of "plainly stating an apparent fact" if that article fits the bill in your mind

          What it means is that the extreme nationlist tendencies of the russian government don't neccessarily change when the government eventually does and that it could get even worse.

          Putin's willing executioners. Uncomfortable, but true.

          I don't see a lot of these so-called #putin lovers volunteering for the front.

          Replying to @HeerJeet

          But why would you want to dehumanize millions of people? I guess on one hand, the US public might feel less guilt if something were to befall them, such as a nuclear barrage…but on the other hand…what was I saying?

          Yes, it’s bad framing. It also reminds me of the chilling truth that tens of millions of Americans readily accept the Orwellian lies about Biden stealing the election.

          But most Russians *are* in favour of the war. The question is what to do about that, if anything.
