Acquiescence is at its most complete when you no longer realise you are acquiescing.
It is rather arrogant to believe from a lifetime freedom of imagined thought and expression, that you have any right to judge those who have lived their entire lives in a controlled environment in which being different and expressing opposition is a one-way ticket to hard-labour and a bed without a mattress.
If you were Russian would you trust that NATO is purely defensive ranged along your borders - with America and Britain as major players? Just take a look at the political murders and overthrows of governments the USA didn't like since WW2. Venezuela sits on a sea of oil, ask yourself whether Russia aggression, or American sanctions supporting a Saudi Price-Fixing Cartel are the reason for your prices at the pumps.
