A very good way to get a quick idea about a person is to ask them what they think of Russia. If you’re on the same page on that, you can smoothen out the other differences later.
@aral have you actually found any real people (not trolls) that support Russia's actions? I haven't. Even all my Russian friends are strongly against the war and ashamed of it.
@cos@aral I've read about Russians living in Germany having pro-Russian demonstrations in Germany. So yeah, there certainly are people supporting this despite enjoying the advantages of western living.
@trinsec@aral those are extremists that I don't count as "real people" in this case. You can find extremists for any cause, but that doesn't correlate with majority's opinions at all.
