[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]and she is no longer talking to me. I am anti-Putin, I support humanitarian efforts. She was my friend for 20 years and now she blocked me, told her children not talk to mine. What can I do? What should I do? I am devastated and so are my children. [/quote]

Are you clearly opposed to the war? One thing we have encountered with Russian friends is that they take an equivocal position regarding the war in which they place some blame on the Ukrainians (or NATO, etc). I can imagine Ukrainians not having a lot of patience with both-sidesing the war right now.[/quote]

I place absolutely no blame on the Ukrainians. This is their land that is being raped. I do not support Russian position and if anything, I have called for a no fly zone over Ukraine.[/quote]

It is not enough as a Russian to “call for” something and say you are opposed. What concretely are you doing?  you and your family, including your kids?  Are you raising money?  Are you attending protests? Are you writing your rep and asking for support for a no fly zone?  Have you asked how you can support, concretely, your friends family? Do they have relatives still in Ukraine? What concrete help have you offered to get them out or provide them with supies or contacts?

If you are just talk and no action, your friend sees that as a betrayal. [/quote]
GTFOH. It’s rich to read this from an American. You think there isn’t blood on your hands because your country controls the narrative and dominates the world?[/quote]

Seriously. People who have just started thinking about Russia and Ukraine in late February need to just stay out of this. [/quote]
The unmitigated gall of Americans has me wishing they would start a war with Russia and get their comeuppance finally. That madman in Moscow will absolutely go nuclear, pun intended. It’s intolerable listening to Americans preen and bump their gums as if they’re not the world‘s most harmful and destructive villains. Africa says hello, you twits.[/quote]
