Reminds me of the latest Adam Something video. Russians are raised from birth with ridiculous amounts of "Russia Fuck Yeah" that's just pure triple distilled victory porn, and posts like that are the consequence.
Well, there's books like that. The idea seems to be that the problem with Nazis wasn't the whole genocide thing, but rather the fact that they invaded Russia. So let's do this: go back in time with modern equipment, ally with Hitler, and march on London and bomb Washington.
Start from American movies, then add a bunch of historical rewriting and fighting Nazis everywhere and you're getting close to Russian level movies from what I've heard.
As a non-American, how is that any different from America?
Many big countries are basically the same, with the belief that their armed forces are "the best", with hours of pop propaganda around how their marines or special ops are the best in the world.
Well as s non american I feel it's quite simple : the USA has an incredible potent war machine, so if their citizens think they have an incredible army, then they are more or less quite correct.
Russians on the other hand just smokes copium and have fever dreams.
It's true for military stuff but false for many many things that they'd still insist is the best way to handle things. Mass shootings is an anomaly that's completely normalized there, sometimes it's not even worth a media footnote.
And there's a strange thing about shooting presidents every once in a while
You're not wrong. Americans have a lot of "America fuck yeah!" energy going on, the difference really would be that when we break from that mentality and start going "what the fuck America?" we don't get arrested and put in jail or forcibly conscripted into a war we didn't ask for.
