The good news is that I believe your people to be very pragmatic. Once the dictator is gone and you go through a hopefully short period of regaining national sanity, then I believe the West will be happy to try again and help Russia back into the community of Free Nations. I know most in the West look forward to the day when all our nations can be friendly and live in peace together.
So...NO, we do not hate Russians. We hate the way that you have been deceived. We hate the consequences of that deception. We hate that you are dying for a megalomaniac that only has delusions of grandeur . That hate is very much tempered by hope for you and your people that you will emerge from the darkness stronger and wiser and ready to rejoin in peace the community of Free Nations.
It is our deepest hope that that can be accomplished without having to destroy your country to rid it of the evil, but just as we did with Japan and Germany, Free Nations will do whatever it takes to contain violent evil. Only a fool would believe that any one country could defeat the ever growing society of Free Nations ready to defend themselves from people like Putin. I believe that one day you will come to understand what has been done to you and your country and I know we all at Poly will be here to support you during that time.

In 2010-2012, when I was in the Europe, St. Petersburg and Russia were big on my list of destinations. I even started buying tickets to St. Petersburg (by ferry) but then changed plans last minute. I am a big fan of Russian writers, two of my closest collaborator/friends are Russian, Russia and St. Petersburg were, with Switzerland, the biggest destinations on my now wife's list for Europe (and we went to Switzerland in 2014), and I had an invitation to visit a friend in a small Russian town near Kharkiv (maybe near Belgorod?).
Not only did I look at St. Petersburg, Moscow and a visit to my friends, but also at a trip on the Trans-Siberian Railroad.
In 2014 I thought "forget that for a decade" and quit discussing it with either friends or my wife.
Now, I hope to visit St. Petersburg during retirement, over 2 decades away.

It turns out that "Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria" means "Let's attack them continually, using every resource at our disposal, while they (nominally) oppose Assad." The US continually waged war against ISIS and ISIS continually waged war against the US and its allies.
The Americans and Russians are both waging air campaigns against the Islamic State. But the two powers are deeply suspicious of one another and have different goals for Syria's future.
In 2016, the U.S. launched a classified military cyberattack against ISIS to bring down its media operation. NPR interviewed nearly a dozen people who lived it.
Russia and Assad continually avoided ISIS and continually attacked US allies. "moderate" rebels didn't exist because Assad and Putin feared them most and continually attacked them and avoided ISIS. Until April 2017 Russia and Assad contributed almost no attrition of ISIS forces and only occupied ISIS territory after others ejected ISIS from it first.
Let's look at a map and trace the rise and fall of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria / Daesh / ISIS.English translation & voiceover : Rahul Venkit https://...
When was there ever any sign of truce between the US and ISIS? It looks like there was a large truce between Assad/Putin and ISIS from 2014 to mid 2017.
A. the "coup" didn't exist so support or lack of support for it was irrelevant.
B. you label the ouster of Viktor Yanukovych as a "coup" because you claim that the unanimous vote to remove him from power was not possible without sniper attacks. Oddly, nobody in the Donbas was on record as calling it a "coup" not even the protestors who were a tiny fraction of the population, until after the little green men show up and seize power from the locals. But none of that matters. The subsequent governments were elected in their own right.
​C. Zelensky is leading Ukraine against Putin. Putin launched by far his largest campaign ever against Zelensky's Ukraine, not against the Poroshenko government. How curious that the government of Ukraine led by the natively Russian speaking Jew was the one Putin chose to most strongly oppose.
D. Zelensky didn't just run on ending the war, he managed to arrange the only meetings with Putin. Putin wouldn't let him end the war. The armed separatists in the Donbas had a mechanism in place as part of Minsk I and Minsk II to disarm. The separatists did nothing of the sort, even during the longest stretches of cease fire. Putin wouldn't let them disarm. Putin continued to ship in more weapons during all cease fires. By way of thanks for Zelensky's diligent pursuit of peace, Putin massively invaded Zelensky's Urkaine from all Russian borders and even from non Russian Belorussian borders with Ukraine.
So you believe "AQ is on our side in Syria" meant "bomb AQ"? Wasn't that our response when people found out ISIS was getting our weapons? Yes yes, tis a sad thing, the fine people getting our weapons gave them to ISIS... For several years. Did I do that? We were arming ISIS, we knew it and we loved it. ISIS/AQ are friends with our friends, the 9/11 hijackers were mostly Saudis. Look at the people we employ in our proxy wars. Islamic terrorists, neo-Nazis, our freedom fighters. If we (or the Saudis) go to war with Iran ISIS will be reborn like a phoenix.
A) Do you really think the people of the Donbas agree there was no coup?
B) Nobody on record calling it a coup? Do you have access to the Donetsk Daily for the time period following the coup? Yeah right, Putin told the world it was a coup so everyone who says it was a coup got it from him. The BBC interviewed one of the snipers for god's sake. People all over the world were calling it a coup.
C) Biden won and he wants war, Zelensky is irrelevant.
D) We have western leaders on record admitting Minsk was a sham, dont blame that on Russia or the Donbas. Next you'll be blaming the nixed '22 peace deal on Putin

Yeah, but I don't see how Russia arming the separatists and sending over 'volunteers' helps this argument.
How about American separatists of the 18th century?
Did they deserve to be slaughtered too?​

By the way, Russia was arming and sending money to the American separatists in 18th century, but surely you don't know about our support of the American uprising against the British crown.

And as an apogee of this colonial process, Ukraine not so long ago made a legislation changes:
- to make the English is a second language of Ukraine (they have banned Russian language, spoke by 80% of their population a very long time ago)
- to ban Orthodox Church in Ukraine
- to celebrate Christmas at December as Catholics, not in January like Orthodox Christians
- to seize Orthodox holy Cathedrals, Churches and monasteries, including Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra - on of the most Holiest places for any Orthodox Christian.
- to send Orthodox Christian relics to the West.
Not to mention that all opposition parties are banned at Ukraine since 2014 and TV-channels and other media, that don't produce a state propaganda are banned (some time with a brutal violence and burning of offices).
The clown Zelensky is noone, but your bloody puppet and a real dictator!​
