This question is 100% a provocation. Trump got democratically elected and thousand of soldiers carried out his orders while they could have refused. Now that USA government has made his own “military special operation” are we going to be racist with americans and treat them like russians? Calling them orcs or implying the population is all shit?

    I buy your provocation.

    When it all started and I got called an orc and an occupant on the streets, I felt the utter emptiness, as if I was seen just as my passport. Some Russians got either isolated in their communities abroad, some said they feel that they’re Ukrainians now, others felt symmetric hate towards the world and bought Putin’s resentment.

    It has never helped the cause unless you wanted to make the world colder, more alien.
