> Every Russian out there is to blame for this war.

You might as well blame the poor for being poor. I understand every Russian who says it's not worth it to try.

Well, they'll have an opportunity to rethink their views in Ukraine.

Germany was a militaristic society once. They aren't anymore.

> I do feel a bit of responsibility and shame.

Assuming you weren't alive when those decisions were made or did not support them at the time, I don't see why you should. You have little control over the actions of your nation-state today, you had none when those atrocities were being committed. The vast majority of the people alive today bear no responsibility whatsoever for the events of WWII

> My nation state exterminated Jews and other nationalities in WW2

Germany ?

If so do you not feel ashamed about buying Russian gas for decades ? It wasn't the moral choice but it was the cheapest

One of your previous chancellor works for Gazprom, the whole Germany is to blame I guess ?

If you start blaming citizens for their politicians we're all war criminals. Are every single Americans liable for Abu Ghraib ?

Not Germany. I boight Russian gas, I wasn't even aware of issues. There are Russian gas stations still working in my country, I stopped buying there.

> Putin didn't appear in vacuum. He is a product of his society. Every Russian out there is to blame for this war.

I agree with first 2 sentences but have to correct: his societies were outlaws and KGB (legal outlaws) which is far from representing the whole population.

> which is far from representing the whole population.

They had parents, went to daycare, went to school, made life choices, went to university, worked a job... They didn't just materialize in KGB one day.

Putin's both parents worked at a factory which means no parents most of the time, the daycare was provided by the "criminal elements" [sic] on the streets, he stated that he wanted to join KGB during childhood, he didn't pass entry exams as he entered university as a sportsman and became KGB's agent (not an employee), his job was KGB then after the fall of Berlin Wall he worked for rector of his uni for a brief time and after that for a docent who went into politics and happened to become the mayor of now St. Petersburg in 1991...

Now that you've put it that way then yeah, I see how most Russian are absolved of guilt for this war.

It's very complicated topic which also could be simplified to "a slowly boiled frog with bandits controlling the heat".
