+rep awesome guy!

Russia is the bad guy because:

They crack down on political dissent with violence and even assassinations - you don’t really think all these people are just falling out of windows, right?

they criminalize both protests and NGOs that attempt to circumvent the regime’s censorship

They brutally suppress media that is critical of the regime.

They shot down Malaysian Airlines Flight 17.

They invaded Georgia in 2008.

They invaded Ukraine in 2014 and in 2022.

They indiscriminately bombed hospitals and targeted civilians during the Syrian civil war.

They’ve been caught meddling in US and EU elections.

They’ve been responsible for some of the most devastating cyber attacks in history:

Estonia in 2007, Russia shut down the entire Estonian internet, banking, government websites, etc.

NotPetya in 2017, caused billions of dollars in damage globally - this is the hack that shut down Merck, Maersk, FedEx, etc.

SolarWinds in 2020 - impacted tens of thousands of organizations globally, including a large chunk of the US government

Russia frequently threatens the world with nuclear armageddon, even though they’re normally the aggressor.

Russia has used chemical weapons multiple times, including in foreign assassination attempts

Alexander Litvinenko (2006)
Sergei Skripal (2018)
Alexei Navalny (2020)

Their paramilitary groups sow discord globally - Wagner has been active in Syria, Africa, and Ukraine

in Africa, Russia is almost exclusively responsible for the explosion of illicit weapons

They frequently use energy production to blackmail entire countries into ignoring their criminal actions
