Okay then, when surveyed in 2022, 40% of Chinese residents polled said that they support the Russian invasion, and another 30% said the actions weren't necessarily right, but should be considered. Sounds pretty fucking brainwashed to me.
True they are but also haven't you seen polls about American and our allies (Britain, Australia) on our invasion of Iraq. I guarantee you if Britain or some other close ally invaded some country Americans aren't invested in polls would show the citizens support it even if it's undeniably wrong. So yes they are brainwashed but its not unexpected for any country not something unique to china.
Count me in that 30%
Russia's invasion was wrong, but it goes back to the Euromaiden government upheaval and that should be considered. Russia isn't just a crazy warband of orcs that wanted to restart the Tsar's empire for no reason. What's brainwashed about that?
