@raktheundead@techhub.social @benroyce@mastodon.social People with problems usually never own up to them and fix them, especially when other people keep solving their problems for them.
Russia in the early 20th century was belligerent, but not very capable. The czar picked a fight with Japan and got his ass handed to him both on land and at sea.
We didn't give them their character, but we DID give them much of their capability. Maybe we should stop. That's all I'm saying.

@mike805@noc.social @raktheundead@techhub.social well then criticize north korea iran and china russia's biggest supporters *currently* don't go "well, in wwi and wwii the west gave aid to russia to help in their mutual struggle, therefore let's blame the west in 2026 for what russia chooses to do now" do you see how manipulative and untrue that is? please, criticize the west. on *coherent* criticisms, not blame game shifting on tenuous fictional cause and effect constructions
