Just before opening HN to check for your answer, I saw a headline saying "US won’t rule out military action if China establishes base in Solomon Islands". The US for sure respects their sovereignity, BUT. I guess there is going to be another entry on that wikipage soon - this is not about shipping lanes, it's a power flex and we all know that

>Anyway, my point was more that you don't see Russia accepting refugees from the Middle East or anywhere similar: the country exists entirely on the supply side of the migrant crisis.

While it's mostly true that Russia isn't very eager to accept refugees, I disagree that Russia is supplying them, with the obvious exception of the current situation - right now here is more than a million of refugees from Ukraine. Speaking of Middle East, at least we are trying to stabilize it and talking to and supporting governments instead of "shocking and awing".

I guess you talking specifically about black people feeling uncomfortably in Moscow, and you might be right becase they are a rare sight even in the capital, let alone all other place, of course they attract stares and curiousity

Props to you for going as far as watching russian TV and you are right about them lying a lot, but you are a tiny minority. If you are still interested at checking pro-russian points of view, I can recommend RWAPodcast on Twitter. Ironically, I discovered them from american journalist Glenn Greenwald whose writing I enjoy a lot
