Russia boasts a massive energy infrastructure, but a recent wave of heating system breakdowns has left many of its citizens scrambling to keep the frost outside. We are still using the communal infrastructure that was made during the Soviet era," said Svetlana Razvorotneva, a Russian lawmaker and member of the committee in charge of urban engineering. “We did not invest in modernization. Instead, we invested in maintaining all that outdated infrastructure.”

      Most Russian people have committed no crime, and many do not support what their leader has done. We should not condem people for the country they were born in.

          Would you be comfortable with the world treating americans as nazis once and if Trump is reelected, or you want us to do the exception and differentiate between assholes and not-assholes?

            I will 100 % judge US Americans if Trump gets reelected. If half of your country votes for them, the people are responsible.

              That sounds pretty neat and everything, but that is exactly what the USA does all over the world and has been doing over a century. I’m not puting russia and USA on the same table cause I would prefer 1000 times USA over russia, but having some compasion for people that isn’t holding a gun or is freezing because of a war they didn’t ask for wouldn’t hurt. Puting everything on the same bag is what fascist do.
