      Just a side-note, an FYI, in some languages (including mine), adjectives created from capitalized nouns (such as country names) are specifically not capitalized.

          Polish (for example we would write “polskie jedzenie” instead of “Polskie jedzenie”. And in this context I think the “Russian” is an adjective as it’s used to describe the war. Anyway, that was just an useless fun fact.

          • Russian is not an adjective but a people from a particular country/nation. Every country/nation holds a prominent identity enough for its people to be designated with a capitalised nation/country prefix. You would call someone a Puerto Rican and not a puerto rican, or a Spaniard and not a spaniard, or a Filipino and not a filipino, or a Kazakh and not a kazakh. Same goes for Poles, not poles.

              AngryAvocado is right though, if you look to the context of post in question, kulun wrote “russian war”, which in polish would be “rosyjska wojna” - it’s clearly an adjective and in polish adjectives are rarily capitalized.

              • Is Kulun a Pole or Polish speaker? You should see his account history and it should be very easy to see. A correlation like that is not that far off.

                  No idea, from what i seen he’s a bootlicker (this is sadly very common for Poles in the internet) and a stalker and i would rather not dive into all the nonsense in his post history. Just wanted to say Avocado is right about the language.

      Atleast we know that you are a NATO supporting neofascist.

      Either you are schizophrenic, or you really think you can speak for others.
      If I’d be truly neofascist, I´d spread kremlin propaganda all day long.
