“Ukraine’s intelligence service says it thwarted a Russian plot to blackmail a local teenage girl into blowing up a police building by threatening to make public intimate pictures on her phone.”

Now that is fucked up.
it’s also pretty typical russian behavior
I’m not sure saying its typical of Russians is helpful. I know two Russian people and neither of them are blackmailing kids into performing terroristic acts.
I’m not defending Russia’s government nor the attitudes of many of the country’s civilians. I also have my own biases and prejudices that I’ve been working most of my life to extinguish.
I just don’t think it’s helpful to go on the internet and write “typical X, X’s are all the same” in essentially any situation.
Typical of the Russian state tactics is maybe what they meant and what you are saying. It’s hard to separate the government and normal people sometimes in times of war.
yeah, no, of course. I get it, I just think statements like that are completely unhelpful
That’s Russia!
