“I’m fine with Asians, but Russians are Asians. They have a completely different culture, vision. Our key difference from them is humanity.”

      I’ve seen one article parroted by Russian propaganda engines saying thus. Never seen a video or any other sources saying it.

        Saving this comment for later whenever Western press gets around to covering the story.

        Supposedly he said it on live TV. That’d be a hell of a thing for Russia to lie about lol

          Oh yeah- like russia doesn’t lie about obvious things. Bombing civilians at railways, bombing civilians sheltering under theaters, bombing civilians in maternity wards, bombing civilians in retirement homes etc etc etc.

          I’d be willing to bet money someone is deliberately misquoted or changing context of somethig said.

            Lying about bombing civilians is standard in warfare. Everyone does it.

            It definitely could be a misquote! That’s why I’m saving your comment - I want to know if I’m wrong later.
