Do the Russians comprehend that their real enemy is not the West but Putin's regime?

Whenever the question is do Russians do this or know that, invariably the only correct question is some do and some don’t. You can be sure some Russians are fully aware Putin’s regime is the main enemy of the Russian people, a few even go so far as to form armed battalions and fight for Ukraine in the war. At the same time there are also Russians who gladly lay down their lives for the enlargement of der Vaterland. There’s a full spectrum of those in between too, these are just the extremes.

The problem with reaching Russians is manyfold. Foreign languague education is poor, so penetration of non-Russian media is poor. The country is vast and mainly carries state-sponsored or operated media, which present only one narrative. It is possible to find alternative sources, but you have to put a bit of effort into it and most people won’t. Furthermore activism is dangerous, the regime is not overly concerned if you watch anti-regime propaganda in your own home, but if you start spreading the news far and wide, you will face the prison colony sooner rather than later.

Predominantly, Russians adopted a stance of fatalistic passivism.

Quora is an excellent news service. Itis pure commentary with many intelligent commentators who are usulaly common people but shrewd observers. Comments by Russians about their own country are very interesting.

Do the people in the West understand that their real enemies are not the Russian people or Putin, but their own leaders?

FJB and his genocidal plans to exterminate “White Supremacist domestic terrorists” with 85,000 armed IRS agents (AKA gestapo) is a far greater danger than RUSSIA RUSSIA RUSSIA.

The people in the West are not governed by their elected leaders.

They are ruled by unelected scumbag bureaucrats in the Deep State and Golden Calf billionaires who answer to no one.

Do the American people comprehend that their real enemy is not Russia, but Joe Biden’s regime?

with somewhere between 20 and 25% of russians willing to live without indoor plumbing, my guess is they don’t consume much news at all

This. It’s a news source, by any metric.

The globalists must replace Putin because they require the natural resources of Russia and slave labor to obtain it. Guess that means we are out of Afghanistan’s lithium.
Wait until you find out who they have picked as a puppet, just like zelensky.
You’re going to love their plans.

Does it occur to Quora that maybe Russians love their children more that the west loves their children? Maybe the Russian people don’t want to open their country to pedos, groomers, castrators, sterilizers and mutilators of children? Maybe they dont value the unplayable debt, zero accountability, mockingbird propaganda, urban decay, world ignorance, ill health, drugs, and satanic death worship that we’re selling?

I’m pretty sure the Russians are fine with drinking themselves into as bad shape as what you listed on their own.

When it comes to health, US obesity rates truly prove “American Exceptionalism”.

One reason the West’s Globohomo satanic rulers and elites have been able to remain in power for so long, is that many of their natural opponents are easily co-opted by the “threat” of an external enemy.

Hopefully they can survive. It would be a tragedy if DC and London were to gain control of Russia and install a puppet.

Russia is the only Western country that has the demographic, resource and military heft to successfully defy Globohomo.

Hungary, God protect them, but they are too small, landlocked and economically dependent to secede from the GAE.

Note that Poland is governed by the same fake “conservatives” as what we see in the USA.

“Poland will simplify immigration for citizens of Ukraine, Saudi, Iran, Qatar, Kuwait, Turkey, UAE, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Pakistan, India, Thailand, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Vietnam, Nigeria and Moldova to accept “at least 400k immigrants a year”.
