I love seeing their expensive equipment destroyed. Less tools those psychopaths have to spread oppression and death.

Bittersweet seeing the soldiers die. Ukrainians are safer when they do, but the vast majority are just brainwashed young men with no good options.

Definitely a significant portion, but not “the vast majority”. It also doesn’t matter in the big picture because they are complicit as members of an invading force.

I would argue the vast majority. Don’t underestimate the amount of propaganda they go through.

I feel sad seeing all deaths in this war. I just feel less sad when it’s the invaders.

And yet you felt the need to try and make it about the poor, poor soldiers who are regularly killing Ukranian civilians to stroke Putin’s ego.

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

It’s important to keep our own humanity in the face of barbaric actions. Like I said, I’m glad those soldiers are gone. At the same time, I realize that a lot of them were forced to be there. A lot of them genuinely believed they were on the right side as they lay there dying.
