Yeah, sounds like overwhelming positive opinions...

JULIAN!! The guy that embarrassed evil powers all over the world!

What evil powers? Well, the US, the US, and... the US.

I got down-voted by just mentioning he didn't release anything significant on Russia for some reason.

I wouldn't be surprise if some of the massive support we're seeing here in this thread is not completely legit.

Let me ask a question to downvoters. Actually, wouldn't it be stupid for Russia not to have folks monitoring popular social sites, like HN, subtly (or not that subtly) pushing their views? Western sites are open to the whole internet, anyone can comment in here, it's easy, it's cheap. Why would they not do that?

There are people here exhorting others to listen to Putin-Versteher John Mearsheimer, so yes, that seems plausible.

How dare you Julian? No Russia or China is on the list? No! US can't be evil, only Russia/China can.

Notice how I didn’t say that the US can’t be evil.

US certainly can be, but, why stop there? Why not mention other evil powers while you’re at it?

Why focus on the US while Russia is going for textbook land grab à la Hitler?

Invading a country is very concerning, annexing it should considered unacceptable. Russia is doing the later.

Yes, you didn't, but the vibe of your message looks like whataboutism defense.

Why focus on Russia while Israel is going for textbook land grab à la Hitler?

> Invading a country is very concerning, annexing it should considered unacceptable. Russia is doing the later.

Annexing a territory is very concerning, silently stealing the houses and land using settlers while killing civilians should considered unacceptable. Israel is doing the later.
