When you leave your country, from Russia, from your homeland, you lose a lot. The list is long. But what is especially important is that you are deprived of the moral right to talk about the events taking place in your homeland here and now. About the events of history - perhaps. But about the present - no. Pathetic and worthy of contempt are those who, sitting far from fatal events, arrogantly discuss them from cozy sofas - “but the attack should have been done in a completely different way...”, “but the war should have been fought in a completely different way...” This is my rule, of course, I apply it to myself, otherwise he’s worthless. Many people have the right to talk and talk about the great and terrible war for the reunification of Russian lands - from those who are now at the front - who are storming Avdeevka, defending Gorlovka or repelling attacks on Belgorod - and to those who are on their heads even in the deep rear, like Nizhny Novgorod or Tsaritsyn, an enemy drone may arrive. But those who left - no, they do not have this right. Until they return.
