    No people deserve to be invaded. The warmongers deserve to have the war brought to their mansions.

      There are people who deserve to live their lives in peace. And then there are people like Putin, who deserve to have their dick put in a blender. Rarely do these two match up.

    Classic elementary school bully bullshit. Mercilessly pick on a kid until that kid punches them square in the nose. Then all of a sudden they (the bully) are the poor helpless victim. Cry me a fucking river.

      As Russian military continues to purposely destroy supermarkets, homes, schools, hospitals, energy infrastructure, entire towns, etc.

      I wonder how many “innocent” Russians know of any of that. Or that their soldiers kidnapped and raped women and children. Tortured and executed others. “Fake news” I’m sure they’d conveniently claim. Ignorance is bliss, until the bombs start dropping on their town.

    Invansion? No. It’s a special military operation. There is no invasion here.

    This is massively embarrassing for Putin. Getting counter-invaded by your small, theoretically much weaker neighbour is a joke. And the Ukrainians have faced relatively little resistance. If Putin wasn’t the evil bastard that he is, he’d call time on this pointless, wasteful war.

    The concerning thing now is that he can use this Ukrainian incursion into Russia as justification for his claims that the west is trying to destroy Russia, even though he set off this chain of events with his actions.

      That’s not concerning at all.

      They’ve made up shit to justify everything up until now. They don’t need a justification to be made for them.

          The problem is that if we do whatever it takes to avoid “pushing” Putin into using nukes, then in effect we’re saying he can do whatever he wants because he has nukes.

          Given that Russia literally sees accelerating climate change as advantageous to them, an unchecked Russian Federation might actually do more damage to life on earth than nuclear war would, over a long enough timeline.

          The only rational play is to treat his threats as hollow, because time and time again he’s proven that they are. Otherwise we’re basically just handing Putin an “I do what I want” card.

            Actual nuclear war or climate change really only damage the things currently living. Life will always succeed in some form, even if we don’t. I understand where you’re coming from tho

              I’m really not sure where you think I said “End life on Earth”, “Destroy the planet” or any of the other possible phrasings you seem to be trying to react to.

              I feel like you had this response in the chamber ready to go, saw the words “climate change” and immediately skipped reading everything else.

                “Do more damage to life on earth than actual nuclear war would”

                That’s a quote from your comment that I replied to. I think both would be equally disastrous for the life that currently lives here as true MAD would wipe out humanity and most animals and greatly alter living conditions, similar to how climate change will.

                  Nuclear war’s effect on the biosphere would be orders of magnitude worse than the effects of climate change.

          Russia, for its many other faults, has the right to be proud of its history of refusing to launch nukes. Vasily Arkhipov is a hero. We will always need more like him.

      Putin can (and does) claim anything at any time. No reason to worry about giving him ammunition to claim shit.

    The Russian babushkas who chatted in a friendly manner with the Ukrainian mobile cav passing by didn’t seem to take issue with anything, and they were left alone - as civilians should be in a conflict, to the greatest degree possible.

    Not to mention, life in a Ukrainian oblast is probably going to be nicer than life in a Russian oblast, long term.

      It’s not some people’s fault. Like the ones blowing up Russian infrastructure.

      Everyone else aren’t fundamentallly different from Germans pretending they didn’t know what was going on in the town’s concentration camp.
