All this is great, but it doesn't change the point that "much of the world feels Russia deserves the criticism", does it?

We'll go by your chart. After viewing it, it certainly appears that much of the world feels negatively about Russia, and the refrain that its only the west isn't correct. Japan, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Brazil are now "the west" too?

I'm not sure why you are so concerned with splitting hairs on this.

You are making an argumentation with the polls.

No, it was a general sentiment that appears correct. You can't say when "much" isn't much anymore, but its safe to say that its still in the much range, even with the positive trend you're implying.

I have already show you that those polls does not translate into politics

I never suggested anything like this, but you keep coming back to it.

Those the thus those polls you are giving me me should be null and void.

What? Or as you would say... all my what?

I have to reject this flat out, and IMO its an absurd comment.

Thousands/millions of people's opinions should be null and void? Yeah, we'll have to absolutely disagree here, I'm surprised to hear this from someone who claims to be a critical thinker.

The means by what people elect or their foreign policy react

It simply doesn't work this way, certainly not in time frames being discussed, and certainly not in many of the countries listed.

You're going to tell me that Egyptians opinions don't matter because....elections?

So the opposite of your point would be that if a population elects a government that views Russia negatively, its actions are justified? So you have no issue with the west treating Russia the way it does then. Since the west's population is legitimized by popular opinion, its actions are not null and void. Odd perspective.

This will prove to be a hurdle we'll simply not agree with. Since these people have governments that either have fixed elections, or at best 49% may have a government they don't agree with, their opinions don't matter?
