Agreed. And for no logical reason. Russia, a country of alcoholics that produces nothing of any real value and whose "leaders" plunder the oil money they do generate.
Every buy a Russian smartphone, car, television, etc?
Me neither.

And their people have brains. If only they were supported. Putin could be presiding over a hugely successful country. He could be the George Washington of Russian democracy
But he's a psychopath and all he knows is destruction.
to be adult; Russia's human development is ranked as "very high" in the annual Human Development Index
- they have never voted for an 🍊 president - TWICE
Underplaying the power of Russia 😬
a Top 10 largest economy in the world by nominal GDP
& 4th largest economy by GDP(PPP)
Russia is widely known as an energy superpower
It has the largest natural gas reserves in the world
the 2nd largest coal reserves
the 8th largest oil reserves
the largest oil shale reserves in Europe
That said, the USA hypocrisy is currently not a good look
But Russia's only technological breakthrough of the 21st century was the troll farm.
The Russian interference and disinformation campaign has had much to do with the hypocrisy you mention.
If only Russia devoted itself to production and innovation, instead of destruction of others.
if only Russians could have a fair elections to be free...
Putin's trying to keep that from happening.
Russia is the world's leading natural gas exporter
the 2nd largest natural gas producer
the 2nd largest oil exporter and producer and
3rd largest coal exporter
Russia is the 3rd largest exporter of arms in the world
Faint praise indeed.
As it's called, "a gas station with a dictator."
Like Saudi Arabia, they put very little into the world.
Instead of producing innovative goods or new technology, it invades other countries to capture their resources.
Can't even produced a decent car?
South Korea puts Russian to shame with less resources.
Russia? I'm not impressed.
Afghanistan is destitute for lack of sun resources.
Putin destroyed Russia's top universities.

You have to separate the ppl from the corrupt govt, leader & system. As a Canadian, we do that a lot now & it's hard when many Americans take it personally.
-Russians- are brilliant people that Whooped Our Tails in Every Step of the space race In Spite Of a government underfunding and crushing them, with amazing architecture and engineering.
If you lived there, you’d be “worthless”. Ukranians were “Russians” once, too.
By your logic, you are your government, which makes YOU a narcissistic, neighbor crushing, greedy, uneducated hothead.
which…evidence suggests…🤷♂️
They are in despair.
Their best brains have fled the country.
They are bare of hope.
I'm really not in any disagreement except for one thing: are they speaking our about the war crimes being committed in an invasion of a country that did them no harm?
Quite a few were drug away by police for doing exactly that, in the large protests in the streets. Often times in a very noisy display.
There was also the thousands of people who left the country as soon as they could. And the independant news getting shut down, and and and
High levels of alcoholism; decreased lifespan.
No leading products on the world market.
Not much scientific or cultural advancement of late.
Banned from Olympics for cheating, constantly.
Not their fault; Putin's fault.
But still the truth.
