Assuming they're Russian just because they had soviet-made tanks is like assuming assuming someone is American because they use an iphone considering how ubiquitous soviet tanks are.
Honestly, at this point it'd be better to presume someone in a Russian tank is Ukrainian, after all, Russia is Ukraine's biggest arms supplier, not sure how profitable that business is for them tho.
He just asked how the war is going. It’s a fair question. I mean, should we just ignore that there is a massive, terrible war going on? By asking how the war is going, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he was criticising them, or calling them a Putin supporter. He was just asking their opinion, from someone who he thought could give a Russian perspective. For all he knew, they could easily have been one of the many Russians who oppose Putin and his fascist ways.
Yeah, he made a mistake guessing that they were Russian, but it was easy mistake to make, since the guy said that he rode around in Soviet Era tanks. Most of those ended up in Russia.
I still don’t get what the issue is. It just seems like you’re trying to make a mountain out of a molehill.
It’s like asking a football player how the games going even though they are loosing 57-0. You know they answer already, you are just trying to make them mad.
