The Russians have less control over their .gov than us although we’re right behindlol
I ran out of sympathy for russians when they uncovered that mass grave of civilians 4 weeks after the war started. I'm sure that school full of kids screamed pretty loud when the Russians bombed them
This war has been pretty chock full of attrocities going one way.
I have a hard time caring if it starts going the other way.
Also... Russia could very well be pulling a page from hamas and killing its own civvies and blaming Ukraine to tamp down support... so again have a hard time caring there
I do feel sympathy if it was not state sponsored However
They have no right to protest and when they do they are beat up and jailed
Nobody I know over there supports Putin, or hates Ukraine
Ironically I’ve met many hateful Ukrainians.
Whatever the motive, if you don’t feel sympathy for those innocent defenseless people you’re garbage.
One step away from supporting atrocious acts of barbarianism
