    “Russian” is not a race. And Finland has a history with Russia that isn’t easily forgotten. That is to say, every Finn I’ve spoken to hates Russia for invading Finland… Twice…

    Finland isn’t even the only neighbour that hates Russia. At some point one has to wonder why so many of Russia’s neighbours hate, or at the very least don’t feel comfortable with, Russia.

    Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

      “Russian” is not a race.

      That’s true but nowadays the word “racism” is used as a full synonym to “discrimination”.

      Maybe, just maybe, the reason why everyone is having issues with Russia is Russia’s own damn fault.

      A person who thinks that the terms “Russia” and “a Russian citizen” are the same is hopeless and must be eliminated at all costs.
