Well, I think I've made myself about as popular on this thread as I can, so I'll give a brief summary and then call it quits.
The US has been feeding the public anti-Russia propaganda for a long time. For example Hillary Clinton said that Russia had interfered with the election and cost her the presidency, but there has never been any evidence of that. She has never retracted. They said that Russia controlled Trump, but there was never any evidence of that, and most of his policies worked against Russia. That was a lie that lots of people believed. They said Hunter Biden's laptop was a Russian plant, but that turned out to be false. There are many more examples.
It's important to the corporate/government mind-control agenda that you believe history began when Russia invaded Ukraine. Nothing happened before that, and certainly the US was never involved in anything warlike. No one made promises to Russia that were broken, no one worked to wreck Russia's economy. No one wants to put offensive weapons on Russia's borders. You should believe that New Modern Hitler invaded Ukraine simply because that's what New Modern Hitlers do. It was a completely unprovoked grab for territory, with no other motivation. New Modern Hitler bad!
This is what you're supposed to believe, and lots of people do. Lots of people also believe in creationism and a flat earth, with equal justification.
Outside of the anglophone propaganda bubble, lots of people understand that the US actively works to harm and impoverish people for its own gain. It is the world's largest sponsor of terrorism. It has killed more people since WWII than any other organization. People in South America, Africa, and Asia largely understand this. Russians certainly understand this.
The US needs to control the supply of energy to remain relevant. In the past any country that tried to sell its petroleum in any currency other than the dollar was attacked and the free sale was prevented. If Russia and China and India become independent of US economic hegemony and the petrodollar, the US economy will be in very bad shape. This is why the new Cold War is being worked up against Russia and China. Lots of lies, lots of economic warfare.
I understand that people here won't believe this and will continue with the warm fuzzy feeling that it's always the other guy who's evil. New Modern Hitler must be defeated, no matter how many innocent people are killed in the crossfire. Biden says we are on the brink of nuclear armageddon, and yet people continue to refuse negotiation and call for escalation. We laugh at memes of innocent people burning to death, just as they burn to death in Yemen, Libya, Syria, Palestine, and other countries where the US helps to make their lives hell.
There used to be an anti-war movement in the US. Tens of thousands marched against the invasion of Iraq, despite constant lies in the media. The propaganda has been more effective this time, and anyone who doesn't think that violence is the answer is denounced as a shill for New Modern Hitler.
There is a good chance that you won't get burned to death, so you don't have to worry about it.
