And here I was thinking Americans were crazy during Afghanistan and Iraq invasion.

The level of intolerance, self censorship and groupthink among people in Europe is even worse than the one post 9/11 time.

Decades of red scare and Russia phobia has really made an amazingly deep scars in the psyche of people. And of course, a bit of racism and fear seems to be doing a fantastic jobm

4,5 million people murdered by the actions of NATO just since 9/11 are all forgotten and replaced with the anti Russian sentiment and hate towards anyone who is not infected with the "love NATO" bug like the rest of people.

The head of Germany's intelligence agency, the "Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution", warned Germans not to vote for the AfD and claimed it was "influenced by Moscow".

Everybody is now influenced by Moscow!

Who cares they are one step shy from being pure Nazi, the scare factor is the Russian influence!

The US Justice Department charged the founder and three members of a half-century-old Black nationalist group with working with Russian intelligence to influence elections in the United States.

Russia phobia has created a new witch-hunt similar to McCarthy era.

Russians who refuse to fight in this war are showing immense bravery. We support their right to escape their country's draft. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem Biden or Western Europe does.

Just like the Americans who refused to fight in a Vietname, the world must support and welcome those refusing to fight for Putin.

But the disgusting Russia phobia who see All Russians as evil criminals and enablers of Putin, do not want to support this.

Those Refusing to Fight in the Ukraine War Should Be Protected

As Russian men fled after Vladimir Putin’s draft announcement, Latvia closed its border with Russia, and Finland said it was tightening its visa policy. Those choosing not to fight need to be celebrated, not shunned.

Mikhail Baryshnikov: Do not punish Russian artists and athletes for war

#Ballet dancer says #culture should not be the collateral damage of #Putin’s #invasion of #Ukraine!

We see an unprecedented over reaction to ban anything Russian from history, Art, Culture and Science among so called democratic nations in the west.

We have never seen anything like this before, except during Nazi Germany, Russia under Stalin and Mao during cultural revolution.

Don't you dare calling it Russia phobia.

Does it go to the category of banned books or just a way to make itook like they are doing something in an Italian stupid way?
