One thing I noted is that actions of NATO countries are attributed to ‘the West’ or the national elites. Meanwhile actions of Russian Federations seem to be fully attributed to russians, as if people decided on a referendum to begin imperial conquest again.
Of course, the propaganda is affecting russians heavily, but it is the minority who support this war, and they don’t decide what the country does anyway, the elites do. If warhawks outside the goverment try to imfluence something, they become cellmates with their once political opponents.
Weird feeling from this article.
