I appreciate trying to break it down with an analogy. I think the analogy is flawed when breaking it down to an individual person in this respect.

A person isn’t holding the live grenade, instead, he has already tossed a thousand of them and killed without regard for the lives of woman and children. Understanding evil of that sort, first begins with stopping it.

After stopping it, one should destroy it, or in-prison it for the rest of its life.

Understanding Russians as individual people is therefore allot different than the actions of their diabolical leaders. Besides gross ignorance, and a seeming never ending ability to be brainwashed by propaganda, as individual humans they should be understood, supported and appreciated. However, as a collective they are either evil, or cowards to be driven by hate filled propaganda to kill and destroy others. They also appear incapable of forming a just society based on the rule of law.

What one or two people like Brez say means nothing in the grand scheme of things. We don’t live in an autocratic society like Russia where those in power positions matter very much. It’s the collective voice of America that does. So who cares what Brezinki said 35 years ago. It means nothing.

"Let’s imagine — into your place of work walks in a fellow holding a live grenade. Are you going to assault him, screaming that what he does is wrong and evil?"

Or let's imagine - you walk into his place of work and he is holding a live grenade telling you to get out, yet you stay, preaching to him you or moral and he is evil. How long until he pulls the pin?

I don’t like to go blind, with my brain bamboozled by garbage some halfwits decide should be the extent of my knowledge.
Ski's a Space Cowboy

Bet you weren't ready for THAT!

And the times keep on changin'
So I'm keepin' on top
Of every fat cat who walks through my door

I'm a space cowboy
Bet you weren't ready for that
I'm a space cowboy
I'm sure you know where it's at
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I was born on this rock
And I've been travelin' through space
Since the moment I first realized
What all you fast talkin' cats would do if you could
You know, I'm ready for the final surprise

Pretty good shot for a blind guy.
