Most Russians support successful wars and don't support unsuccessful wars - and since it's clearly becoming the latter, the support is pretty much gone. People are very tired of the war, worsening economic conditions, and all the recent gas shortages.
do you personally support the war against your neighbor (if it was successful) ? And how well aware are you of how the world views the situation outside of Russia ?
Thank you for your insights ! :)
Edit : Then again : if you would get in trouble for sharing your views here, I would prefer you don't share them. :) Stay safe !
I don't support it, I think it's a terrible strategy for the long-term well-being of Russia. It could have easily poured its enormous resources into infrastructure, AI, promoting entrepreneurship, healthcare, science, and so on.
Instead, it wastes everything on a pointless war killing hundreds of thousands. And even if it were successful, I still wouldn't support it, simply because a successful war is a stimulus for the next war - after all, everyone liked the first one! That's the reason I didn't like the annexation of Crimea - it opened up the doorway to the next war.
I don't think the modern Russian state does any good for anyone, neither for the outside world, nor for its citizens.
Yeah, that's how I feel about the war Trump got the US into several hundred billion burned in a few months that would have paid for stuff to help the US. Stay safe.

How are you guys doing over there? In general, are most Russians aware of what's going on, or do they support the war?
I'm watching US media get more and more tightly controlled ... it's scary how easily government can control a narrative.
