Russians' faith in their country's safety 'broken' by Ukraine's deep strikes, Budanov says
Ukraine's strikes deep into Russian territory have "broken" the faith Russian people hold that their country is powerful and safe, Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov said on Sept. 14.
I recently made a comment to the effect that if you’re from China, Russia, or the US you’re used to your country getting away with anything it likes and zero repercussions. As a result the populace is not psychologically prepared for things to go wrong compared to pretty much everyone who lives in the third world. My comment made people very angry, it was weird.

Oddly also the group that loves to say a civil war is around the corner, yet was dying to go hang out during covid.
I feel like the divide is between people who attempt to find things out for themselves and the people who rely on external sources to foist information upon them.
well of course. there are preppers and other people who always expect the worst. everyone is different and when you make such a comment the ones who are prepared feel disrespected, even if they are not the biggest group in those countries. a lot of people live there and even relatively small groups can nominally have tens or hundreds of thousands of people.
That is literally the motif of this whole
