In Russia the pot is very black?
In oder to get Russians to enter and serve in military service, Russia makes promises well above those of ordinary citizens, who in relative terms lose to those willing to die for country and fears manufactured by the FSB and its cronies.
Rather than join a peaceful world community and gain rights and privileges of the world, Russians are fobbed into a false world in which their leaders redirect them into premature death activities. Short term objectives of Russian leaders diminish the full gains of rights and privileges to be gained by being a peaceful contributor to the world community.
Russians lose big time. Bullying neighbours is not the way to live. Russians know better than to take Putin for anything other than a lost scoundrel.
