Sorry, I've had my fair share of experience with russians, none of those were positive and I'm being extremely generous. And sorry, "you could be punished for calling this war a war" this is called being a chronic coward, assuming they do not support the war. When the special forces were beating people up to death on the streets a few kilometers from my home in the 90's, my dad picked up a crowbar and went out to fight back and my grandmother, who was 50 kilos went out to do the same with a wooden stick. They were both willing to do everything they can, even give their lives if it came down to it. This says one of two things about the current russian society: either cowards or psychopaths supporting genocide. But most probably both.
And yes, look him up on google, swap the face and the voice and you won't be able to tell the difference between the dictator and the dictator wannabe - they say the exact same things.
