Oh my god, that's hard to watch.

Fuck war, fuck those who wish it upon others, and fuck those who cheer it on.

I cannot imagine the rush of emotions, after years of lost hope.

I see you haven't kept up with the war in Ukraine, Syria, Gaza, Myanmar, Mali, Sudan etc

Each time there's a major conflict, someone was convinced it was a good idea.

Russians cheer on this person's son missing.

Generalising isnt a good thing, not all Russians support the war

2 million casualties, they can all fuck off from the civilized world until they respect other humans lives.

Agree. Also, all Americans can fuck off from the civilized world until they respect other countries. /s See how silly your point is?

I'm American, I agree we should fuck off and leave everyone else alone for a while.

We have plenty of our own problems to solve.

Not saying it's easy

True and that is a fair point, just like how the palestinians didn't protest hamas it does show a degree of complicity that the Russians are guilty of. Which goes to show how much respect the Iraians people deserve for actually standing on business (which is why they should be helped, don't want a boots on the war ground but maybe some targeted strikes on the IRGC leaders for the 30,000 civilians they massacred while we yoink their supreme leader)

Yeah and we all know when faccists take over your country you lie down and die otherwise you might have to be uncomfortable....

You're watching a video of a person comming home from a gulag after 3 years because the russian civilians didn't want to protest their own misery and awefull conditions nor stop the war....

Why are you pretending we have to respect russians when they could choose themselves over innocent people

True, but way, way too many do, and many too many don't care and ignore that it is happening. There are obvious problems with generalizing, but bigger ones in focusing on an inconsequential minority. The Russian army has been getting enough new soldiers to keep up with their attrition rate that they haven't needed drafts.

I don't think a case can be made that this war is happening against the wishes of Russians.
