    Oh those poor Russian soldiers, it’s a tragedy they’re dying!

    Oh wait, no, it’s a great thing they’re dying. Anyone who willingly or “just follows orders” the genocide of another peoples deserves to die.

    The second a soldier gets handed a gun and doesn’t turn it back around on those who armed them and instead attacks innocent people on their orders is the second they lose any value as a human.

      Yeah, no. Life doesn’t work like that. You can have empathy for Russian soldiers while still hoping they lose the war.

      It’s very much a “sucks to be you, but you shouldn’t be there” situation.

      That’s not how it works. It is much easier to sit behind a computer and have opinions than saying no in that situation.

        The reason everything is so shit in the world is because no one will take a stand against those that abuse us.

          There’s the question of willingness, and then there’s that of ability. A single person acting independently with no prior planning will quickly get shut down, and the world will be no better for it.

        It is how it works.

        I have zero respect for people who invade other countries instead of fighting their own.

        how one military unit commitment potential war crimes

        Your attitude shows a very simplistic style of thinking about these things.
