But he lives in a region with famously harsh winters....no one ever told him not to eat snow to survive? It will only chill you faster....that's what is so sad.
Except many other countries respect their own soldiers enough to feed them properly. Yes, war is worse than hell, but the incompetent and corrupt Russian leadership manages to make it even worse for their soldiers
I kinda feel sad for the Russian soldiers. At least those that aren't psychopaths that were released from high security prison for torturing and murdering people and were simply people from the back country that were brainwashed and sent to the front thinking they were fighting Nazis with nothing but a rifle and a bit of ammo and whatever clothes they could bring with them.
I don't. They got sent and went to another sovereign country and started a war. These same soldiers you have empathy for will gladly shoot Ukraine soldiers and civilians.
How many of these 'non-psychopath' soldiers have killed innocent people in Ukraine?
They all went and they all are complicit to the murder, torture and rape of Ukraine. They can go suck on a grenade while the pin is out. No sympathy for these fascists.
Many have surrendered to Ukraine because they didn't even want to fight in the first place. Many others don't even know that they're doing and have been left to fend for themselves.
In the end, these people are human beings who have been manipulated into believing they going to war to defend their country.
Yeah maybe some of them are monsters and deserve punishment. But let's not dehumanize anybody.
While I agree with you, the real bastards are Putin and his asshole friends. They, however they did it, convinced their country it was necessary to go to war. But it's the people who get slaughtered, not the butcher in his palace.
Of course they need to be stopped. But still I know the monster is the puppeteer.
@reddwarf@cyborganism He who does evil, deserves evil. And ... there is Internet in Russian, too! Which means there is opportunity to escape the propaganda and get the facts straight.
No pity for the russian soldier. He comes to kill.
