I mean now you're just pivoting from the standard soldier, which we are taking about, to the ones committing the war crimes. Which isn't an insignificant amount and I won't try to excuse their behavior but I don't think it's fair to say all of them are war criminals.
But for the standard Russian soldier hanging out in a trench after getting swept off the streets in some minority region of Russia and pushed straight to the front lines and getting a grenade dropped on him from a drone; Yes, I feel a bit bad for them.
@snooggums @LaFinlandia @espentan @awwwyissss @cooljacob204 Being sorry for lives lost in the war, which means being sorry for russians getting killed is bothsidesing and false balance.
Russians started the killing. Russians can stop it any minute. Russian commit barbaric war crimes every day.
Russians are human beings which are responsible for their actions. Russians decide every day to perpetuate the barbarism. They are responsible. Each and everyone who does not stand up against the terror
@rogerhaase @snooggums @LaFinlandia @espentan @awwwyissss @cooljacob204 absolutely 💯
May every Russian that raises their hand to kill on Ukrainian soil be left to grow beautiful flowers
Use your arms to rebel against your oppressive filthy Russian government.
There is no excuse for the horrific evil they've brought to the Ukrainians and by extension the rest of our world. This is a Russian peoples enabled war. No different then the German populace in ww2. Period.
