It’s not that entirely simple, either.I’m going to say something unpopular, but it’s a good thing to remember. When we talk about “the Russians” attacking Ukraine, please bear in mind that people like me, at least, mean “the Russian regime.” There are millions of innocent Russians who want no part of this madness.

And I’ll accept “hundreds” or “thousands”; after four years, I’m tired of wild exaggeration for rhetorical purposes. Millions, after all, actually voted for Trump; they wanted to continue the madness. Innocents abound; but so do the culpable.This story about how Russian family members of Ukrainians are perceiving the invasion hits a *lot* closer to home — demonstrating how those consuming different media can end up living in two very different realities, only one of which is *actually* real:https://t.co/4ZqQffD7tc
