That as well. I had dinner with an old colleague the other day

about the people on the ground? Aren't they tired of it all?

That, for me, is a forgiving factor. I often think, if all I was watching was russian state television, I am 100% sure I would think exactly the same.
If those people would have the chance of getting a less biased media diet, I am absolutely certain their values would converge with the rest of the world.
Therefore I am against Putin and his lackeys, and not against the ordinary russian person who is 100% indoctrinated.
