Sure, let's promote Russian values. Values like invading your neighbors, murdering political rivals and oppressing queer people.

And then there's the priests blessing nuclear weapons.

All sorts of fine values.

There's also swindling, cheating, bribery and corruption. And don't forget bigotry.

Hacking, disseminating propaganda, attempting to influence other countries' elections... so many values!

Don't forget the military rape culture!

I'm ultimately pro western leadership, but everything they've accused Russia of in this thread so far could have just as easily been said for America...

Seems some Americans are well on their way towards that already.

Yeah, but at least that isn't state-sponsored.
