I personally have visited Russia and loved the people, their culture and sense of pride.
So it’s not ‘cloak and dagger’ reasoning.

.
Hence, I am sick of seeing Russia’s leaders and Russians being constantly bullied, slandered and unfairly treated by the Western media when anything reported can be thrown back at all Western governments, 10x over. ‘Russia’s killed civilians in Syria’, (like no Western government’s ever done that

); ‘Russia’s anti-gay’; Russia’s intelligence agency
‘may’ have killed a Russian, and it was *‘probably’ *ordered by Putin.All of these ‘stories’ could be written about any Western country - well, mind you, aside from the anti-gay ones.
What is the West so scared off, by Russia - they’re all obviously shaking in their boots about something. China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, etc., etc.,practically nothing written or reported.
The latest ‘bad-naughty-Ruskie’ bashing stick being Russia’s alleged treatment of gay people, again totally incorrectly, reported by the media and further trumpeted by the Western politicians.
Russia passed a gay propaganda law that was aimed at school kids

- which, I’m quite positive, parents in many Western countries would ‘love’ to have passed, in their countries, now that gay propaganda is being widely distributed into their schools.
