I can only imagine how desperate and helpless an entire generation of children feel in Russia right now, with their fathers sent to die in a worthless war.
What I don’t get is how they can look at the rest of the western world backing Ukraine and not wonder “are we the baddies?” Or maybe they do and that creates cognitive dissonance too big to handle. Or they’re told all western countries are Nazis.

Probably with a very tribalistic “the world is against us” mentality.
they’re being told they are fighting a righteous war defending Ukrainians from Nazis
And the ones that don’t believe it have to shut up. Imagine being against the Iraq War post 9/11 in the US, but your bullies can get you put in jail.

You know the insane amount of Russian bots on western-centric websites? Has to be double that on their own sites.
