Water Chip? Been There, Done That

A little request if I may: please do not extrapolate your opinions of the Russian gov't on the whole nation. There are many reasonable people who are against the war and against the travesty of law of Putin's regime.
Yes, too many people are simply brainwashed. State TV channels depict Maidan as terror, Yanukovich as a victim. There's a lot of anti-Western propaganda, especially anti-American. Huge accent is made on patriotism vs "betrayal". If you don't like what's happening in your country, you are a betrayor. You are paid by the USA to tell lies. Yeah, they tell you that Maidan is also sponsored by the USA gov't and European mercenaries fought to overthrow the legitimate regime. I believe, Putin does have a huge boner on seeing Russia as a strong and independent country. As is it not true by any means, the only thing left is to create illusions of it.
But I should stress once more: a lot of people are totally against the invasion and support Ukrainians. Many people (like me) have relatives and friends in the Ukraine, and all the recent news are really terrible to us. So, please, be correct in your statements.
