"Russia seems legit, the next day there's some bullshit that they're doing."

Look at who they have to compete with and consider why they do the things they do. Our media just points it out to make us think they are the bad guys. Don't get me wrong they do messed up stuff, but I think it's because that is the environment that exists in the world that they have to compete in. We do just as bad or worse stuff but it is covered up.
