What are the Russians really like? – One of my supporters wrote this analysis of them

[This is what a supporter of mine wrote to me about the Russians. Jan]

I could talk about the Russians all day. They’re a very mixed bag of people. There are proper White European Russians (the kind that others picture when they think of a typical Russian), but they’re not at ALL representative of the Russian country as a whole. I’m sure you’re aware of how Asiatic and Islamic Russia really is. And then there are the Jews. I’d be lying if I said I understood the relationship between Jews and Russia and between Jews and Ukraine. The whole picture is a schizophrenic clusterfuck of contradictions and conflicting motivations. There are many average Jews who have lived within the Russian culture for generations and have therefore developed Russian tastes, Russian sensibilities, love for Russian culture, food, music, film, etc… They have a genuine attachment to Russia and see themselves as Russian. But they’re also Jews. So their emotions and loyalties are constantly being jerked in different directions by both Russia’s and Ukraine’s histories of anti-Jewish episodes and by Putin’s supportive relationship with Israel’s middle-eastern enemies. I’ve seen Jews HATING Russia in favor of Ukraine because "Russia is antisemitic", and then other Jews HATING Ukraine in favor of Russia because "Ukraine collaborated with Hitler". And Putin’s inconsistent messaging only adds to the confusion. I wish I was able to make sense of it.

Russians, especially the older generations, are a HEAVILY propagandized people. As hard as it might be to imagine, I’d say that the average Russian is a bigger victim of Russian propaganda than the average Westerner is of Western propaganda. The things they believe are so primitive it would make your head spin- "Germany started World War 2, Ukrainians are actually misguided Russians, the territory of the Soviet Union should have remained united". There is actually a very common attitude among Russians that "we’re all brothers, we should love each other and stop fighting and embrace each other (as long as that embrace occurs under the Russian flag)". When the war first broke out in 2022, I watched a Russian-language TV piece of a Russian military spokesman addressing the Russian people, saying that "the Nazis are coming to rape your family". I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.

The Russian government has a MUCH tighter grip on internal Russian media and journalism than do the Western governments on Western media, and killings of journalists is commonplace. But Americans (the conservatives at least) don’t recognize Russian propaganda because the flavor of propaganda is different- it’s less gay and overtly retarded. They think that just because Putin doesn’t walk around with pink hair and a rainbow dildo strapped to his face that he’s some ally to "traditional values".

One final note about Russian attitudes. On January 17 2024, Dmitry Medvedev, former president of Russia, former prime minister of Russia, and current chairman of Russia’s Security Council, posted a message on Telegram. This is a perfect and CURRENT illustration of Russia’s official attitudes and motivations towards Ukraine. The original Russian-language post can be found at https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/437 . I translated it here:

Why Ukraine is Dangerous for its Inhabitants

The existence of Ukraine is mortally dangerous for Ukrainians. And I’m not referring only to the current state- the political regime of the banderovites. I’m talking about any, absolutely ANY Ukraine.

Why?

The presence of an independent state on historical Russian territory will remain a permanent pretext for the continuation of military action. It’s too late to change this. No matter who is at the helm of the cancerous tumor called "Ukraine", it will not add legitimacy to his rule nor to the legal validity of the "country" itself. And therefore, the threat of a new fight will persist indefinitely. Pretty much forever. Moreover, there is a 100% probability of a new conflict, no matter what security papers the West signs with the puppet Kyiv regime. Neither Ukraine’s association with the EU, nor even the entry of this artificial country into NATO will prevent it. This could happen in ten, even fifty years.

That is why the existence of Ukraine is fatal for Ukrainians. But after all, they ARE a practical people. No matter how strongly they wish death unto Russians. No matter how much they hate the Russian leadership. No matter how much they strive towards the mythical European Union and NATO. With a choice between eternal war and inevitable death, and life, the vast majority of Ukrainians (well, perhaps with the exception of a small minority of frostbitten nationalists) will ultimately choose life. They will understand that life in a large common state, which they do not like very much now, is better than death. Their deaths and the deaths of their loved ones. And the sooner Ukrainians realize this, the better.

Pure gangster logic.
