Russia

Russian values: Never admit or apologise for MH17. Pooh the evidence. Never keep your word eg promise Prigozhin - then kill him. Nuke Litvinenko; poison the Skripals; shoot Nemtsov, poison Navalny’s underwear. Generally just kill anyone who defects or objects no matter how inconsequential. High windows preferred. Deny your own trespass on other countries is encroachment - but call nations running from you into a defensive organization “encroaching” & “aggressive”. Call retreat from Afghanistan anything but a lost war. Be openly Nazi but call your enemies Nazi. Ignore that you invaded Poland in WW2 which makes you the aggressor not victim. Generally just blame The West for everything you do that grabs land & wealth for yourself. Key tropes: “military-industrial complex”; “broken promises”; “proxy war”; “proxy” even when it’s obvious a country made its own decision to fight for its survival and freedom - deny the basic fact that all humans have free will (agency); currently my favourite is “Nazi”.
