Watched the videos, very informative indeed, but it doesn't justify the current and the past actions of Russia. Russia is a rogue state and I don't see this changing in the near future.

For many, of course, there is no real difference between political parties in the USA. However, there is -- at least there has been -- peaceful transfer of power, which stops it from being properly "rogue."

videos are meant to provide a better understanding of Russia's actions and behavior but not to justify them. in this case "good or bad" or "right or wrong" is completely subjective, ultimately every country tries to protect its own interests.

Misko, thank you for the video and explanations, but that's not how it works.
You see, in certain heads there is this idea that certain countries represent the "ultimate good" and Russia represents the "ultimate evil."
You go from there.

The fox in the henhouse - that was the US in Russia in the nineties lol. The most appropriate comparison.
