        This war is one of the largest tragedies of our years, and none of the soldiers on either side deserve to die in those trenches, but Putin almost getting couped by Prigo, then Prigo getting killed by Putin was pretty funny.

          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.
