This is how state Russian media works. Never cover the truth, like a war with Ukraine. It's a "special military operation".
"This is why Russia is bad"
Look at how American media (liberal or fascist) covered Israel even pre-Trump. Or invasion of Iraq.
What are we, a bunch of asiatic hordes???
Is this Russian media in the room with us right now?
friggin Putler!!!!
Ok but what does US gov have to gain from just detaining random foreign civilians? I am geniuenly confused why this is happening.
Fascists want complete control, and it sends a message not to come here. They only want 'their kind', meaning white racist conservatives. Detaining is a power play. Just a reminder, this is the trump government, not the citizens. The majority of people are welcoming, only about 25% of Americans are complete and utter trash.
You say “only” but one in every four is a pretty significant amount of people who support jailing you just for being brown
Yeah, that’s a quarter of the population my dude. That’s not a good look. Why would anyone want to go to a place where 1 in every 4 people hate you?
There hasn't been a US government in my life time that wasn't unspeakably racist and evil, so it's kind of hard to believe the majority are welcoming.
A bit racist to turn a story about Americans abusing other Americans into "this is why russia is evil".
To adress the vestiges of an actual point that you had: Countries like Kazakhstan have a mutual defense treaty with Russia. Declaring war formally would obligate them to join the conflict, in a massive escalation that would be bad for everyone.
American's will never fail to blame foreigners for all their problems. It's zero surprise America is in this state when both sides of it's political system are xenophobic nationalists who believe in the modern version of the Judeo-Bolshivik conspiracy theory.
Dah comrade, now let's go out for burger&vodka, yeehaw.
