'Feelings' about Russia

If Putin would stop invading people and giving a wink to cyber attacks on America, it would be easier to accept him. I have nothing against the Russian people, but the reasons to dislike Putin are clear enough.John wrote: ↑Sat Jun 19, 2021 1:03 pmIt's hard to decide how we should "feel" about Russia.
On the one hand, Russians love Americans and Western Europeans,
so we ought to love the Russians back.
On the other hand, Vladimir Putin hates Ukraine, Georgia, and
other East European countries.
So that's why we have a love-hate relationship with Russia.
I suspect there is no hatred of places like Ukraine, Georgia and elsewhere, but Putin wants to put back the old Soviet Union. It is more about Russia than those being invaded.
