The Russian pilot who defected to Ukraine is poised to get a hefty reward from his home country's sworn enemy.

Sworn enemy? Two years ago the Russians were telling us we couldn't begin to understand the depth of their bond with Ukrainians.

To quote someone else I saw regarding this "bond": This made up lore about a sacret bond between russia and its neighbors is just weeb shit for slavs. Russia has always fucked with its neighbors for their own gain.

For the gain of its rulers. Average Russian lived probably in even poorer conditions than the neighbors, due to the same rulers. The tragedy of Russia is such that even when people understand how fuckup the system is and create revolution to remove those rulers, the new system that replaces the old is not much better, or even worse.

Based on what I've read of Russian domestic abuse, maybe this is just what love looks like to them?

What's love got to do, got to do with it?

I bet nobody understood what they actually meant.
