Or in this instance, more precisely, you mistake the look one gives to someone who has actually said he thinks gay people want war with Russia because Russian's laws persecuting gay people offend their pride with being regarded with admiring awe....

Because that is exactly what you said:

It is a personal hatred of Russia on the part of some . . .

Russian laws have insulted their life style, so they demand we fight a third World War to assuage their wounded pride.

I, for one, am not ready to get on that particular bandwagon.
A. L.

A flat statement laws establishing persecution of gay people are no more than 'insult to their life-style', and that gay people are pressing for WWIII to 'assuage their wounded pride'....
