"If you are what you HAVE and you lose what you have, what then are you? But if you are what you ARE and you lose what you have, no man controls your destiny".
Except, they do. You've defended war crimes on multiple occasions, and said they were "just following orders."
That doesn't make them good people, that makes them war criminals.
If those "good people" don't support their President's actions, then let's hear them speak out against it, and explain why they have spent the last couple of decades supporting that murderous tyrant.
I'll fucking wait.
I don't think it's fair to say the vast majority of Russians support Putin just like you can't say the majority of North Koreans support Kim. Most want to live their lives and are hostage to that regime, open descent as we seen happening means certain jail time if not death. Putin is a dictator so we need to think of these things in context, they don't get countering point of views on anything.
I would hold the 33% of republicans who support Putin in even more contempt they have no excuse.

The Russian government is evil.
If people vote for that evil, then the same applies to them.

Except, they do. The rugged defense of Putin through the years by the majority of Russians, is very telling.
He's nothing more than a Soviet thug with delusions of grandeur.
Their elections are rigged, aren't they? do we even have accurate statistics about how many they support putin?
People are not always capable to resist especially when they risk their lives. That doesn't mean they support their regime.
Some Russians do indeed commit terrible crimes on the battlefield like bombing civilians and houses, however not everyone is doing this and some may not be aware of what is happening.
Generally, nations and national identities are terrible things that often leads to mistakes, the organization is the evil here, not the people although for some this might not be acceptable, they want revenge right now and that revenge would feel better for them if they charge every single Russian with these crimes and treat them like crap.
And, we are free to judge them for continuing to support those tyrant fuckwads. The evidence has been laid before them, and what do we see?
We have seen them consistently defend Putin's actions, and continue to support him. Mind you, this isn't simply a matter of them keeping their heads down, and just waiting for his regime to eventually fade... they've cheered him on through it all.

And yet, look at all of you, doing everything you can to defend the actions of war criminals.
The organization is evil. The actions of that evil organization have been made very, very clear. Hell, they have been known for many years. Continued support of that evil, after they are made aware of that evil, makes them complicit.
"Sure, I voted for Putin 4 times, but that doesn't mean I support him."
Sorry, bro... it does.

If Belarus joins the fray, all of this foreign aid will be stuck somewhere around Lviv. In fact, I will not be surprised if the whole point of the Belarus deployment will be to corner Western Ukraine in to a small pocket.
And do not, ever, under any conditions, trust the German proclamations. Notoriously duplicitous state, easily succumbs to manipulation and pressure. Deeply penetrated by Russian spies and influencers. Kyiv was promised anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles and launchers 72 hours ago. Where are they? Are the managers of this said program clocking 9-5?
Half of the Monday has passed in Europe and still not a word on SWIFT, further sanctions on banks... nothing. Radio silence.
Do not ever trust the Western Europeans. Ever.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
Some of my more open friends from Sweden with no connection to either countries switched from supporting Ukraine to supporting Russia.
My Russian friends were VERY careful when I asked them about what they think about the invasion, but when they noticed that I'm not against Russia or Ukraine, they really opened up how the west kept quiet when thousands of russians were targeted and killed in Ukraine. Which is not really media propaganda.
People need to understand that there is no innocent government here on either side. Only innocent civilians.
Zelenskyj is a comedian first, president second and Klitschko got hit in the head a bit too many times.
I feel that Putin went too far though, but I also hear that the orders are not to touch the civilians. Yes there are civilian deaths, but I don't see how you can avoid that in a military conflict.
This looks to me a pretty good warcrime here:
Attacking civilians with mortars.
(note the guy is fine)
Don't sweat the details!!!
