Unfortunately the discussion with you lost any sense long ago when you have ignored provided link and tried to deviate toward typical russian propagandist narrative. Since russian propaganda does not make any sense at all it was hard to expect that you would be genuinely interested in such thing as ‘sense’.

Anyway, sorry to disappoint.

Just as before you should probably discuss it with your russian friends. Not with me.

I am sure they will be more than happy to share obsession with improving plans and reasoning behind blowing something up.

Their lies will most likely make ‘sense’ to you and there you might find some excitement and surprises you are possibly looking for.

"Anyway, sorry to disappoint."

Oh, no, I have very low expectation for russophobes, you didn't disappoint me.

> … russophobes …

You keep using this word, I do not think it means what you think it means.

Phobia suggests imagination of non existing threat.

Contrary to that deadly Russian aggression is reality we are witnessing daily in Ukraine.

“russophobia” is another term invented by russian propaganda to cover own aggression. Usage of this term informs enough about those who use it.

Your efforts are in vain. There is awareness of crimes against humanity and human rights performed by russia again and again.

"I do not think it means what you think it means ... Phobia suggests imagination of non existing threat."

It's comical that you even didn't bother to check the definitions before lecturing me. As I said, you cannot disappoint me))

"A phobia is an anxiety disorder defined by a persistent and excessive fear of an object or situation." [0]

"Russophobia, noun - an intense and often irrational hatred for Russia, or esp the former Soviet Union, its political system, etc." [1]

>> persistent and excessive

>> intense and often irrational

There's nothing excessive or irrational in not wanting to die for your bunker rat's fever dreams.

And they are absolutely correct to point out that using the word 'russophobia' only highlights who you are.

"in not wanting to die for your bunker rat's fever dreams"

That makes two of us. Unfortunately, they go far beyond that.

"that using the word 'russophobia' only highlights who you are"

That's what russophobes say.
