You're not having a "normal human response to a tragic event", you're virtue signaling, pretending to care so you can feel better about yourself.
I don't have to
pretend to care because as a man I don't feel the need to hide or mask my thoughts and/or feelings on very serious issues such as these. Hopefully one day you'll be in a better place mentally and emotionally so you can acknowledge that even events which don't directly impact you still have an overall impact and a butterfly effect.
You're just fooling yourself into caring about something out of your control and lack of knowledge of the situation by spreading hate fuck messages about Putin. I don't like him nor what he's doing, but I'm not losing sleep over it nor do I have a fascination with wanting him dead. If he deserves to be killed for all the shit he's done, then a whole lot of people deserve to die just as him for the same and worse.
You're right, GWB and Dick Cheney are still alive. War crimes are war crimes (insert Mr. Incredible meme). I don't have to "spread" anger at Putin, everybody with half a heart and half a brain already hates him or at the very least strongly dislikes him.
Doesn't matter if Ukraine was rising or falling, the point is they're run by a corrupt ass government. Oh Zelenskyy said he was for anti-corruption? Of course he wouldn't lie about that. No one ever lies in order to get what they want. It depends on the person, but uh, yeah, a person can lie to get into a position of power. People have done that since the first ever power structure was created by a group of people on this planet.
You're the one making the accusation of corruption, the burden of proof is on you. This whole discussion is also irrelevant to the invasion, I'd support Ukraine in defending their home country from imperialist invaders regardless.
So then who is killing civilians over there? You admitting Ukraine is killing civilians in order to set up the Russian soldiers for more empathy for other nations? In conflicts and wars, civilians always get caught up in one way or another, that's the unfortunate truth and I pray the remaining civilians get out safe, but I guess orders or no orders, both sides are clearly killing people in one way or another.
Oh fuck off. Obviously I didn't say the entire Russian military was defecting or fleeing, there are plenty of proud ultra-nationalists (read: Nazis) among them who will gladly follow orders to execute civilians. And we aren't talking about "caught in the crossfire," we're talking about direct orders to brutalize civilians and (mostly) ignore uniformed Ukrainian combatants. I've seen video of a fucking tank shelling a Ukrainian civilian on a fucking bicycle.
If that was true they would've either stopped or completely collapsed by now, but they're not, they're becoming more self sufficient, effectively strengthening them. What are you gonna say when the full fruits of their labor come to light? "Oh yeah, Russia's still collapsing. Don't listen or see that Russia's economy is recovering and the citizens getting stronger, that's clear misinformation. Even though they're thriving, Russia's officially collapsed because the mainstream media that clearly never lies told me so." Even though the invasion clearly didn't go as planned, despite the set backs, Putin is not backing down and will take Ukraine at any cost. That's just the type of guy he is.
JFC, Russia's economy will recover once they pull back and stop with the ethnic cleansing and/or attempted genocide. I'm not worried about it until then. All the smartest and most talented Russians are leaving the country, because they're also strongly against the war and that can get you arrested there.
Aaaaand you just admitted to getting ripped off, since that money is not going to the victims, and if it is, it's only a small percentage of it. But I'm sure the government completely appreciates you filling their pockets some more. Send more cash. Sell your house and the shirt off your back and send the money you make from it to them. It's all for the Ukraine people, after all. So effectively, you've done less than nothing.
OK doomer, there's that patented nihilism again.
Putin isn't going anywhere until this invasion is over, and he'll leave his country for one reason or another and no one is going to touch him or charge him with war crimes.
He's wanted for war crimes the world over, and will stand trial at an international court if he's ever stupid enough to step outside of Russia again. He's been hiding in a bunker almost the entirety of the last 40 days.
Hitler was a military genius and made Germany one of the strongest nations of it's time before and until the end of WWII. Does that mean I love Hitler and wishes he was back? Hell no, he also was a dangerous and evil man and I hope he's burning in hell. I like how you can't acknowledge how dangerous an enemy is without some idiot interpreting it as meaning they want to fuck them. Underestimate your enemy and you will regret it. You and many others underestimate how sneaky Putin is because you and others can't get over whatever hate boner you have against him and don't want to see that Putin isn't gonna take any shit from punks inside or outside his country and won't stop until he has full control over Ukraine. Cool your arrogance and actually see what's happening.
Hitler was also on meth, thus his slow decline into absolute madness, but yes, point taken. That said, this scenario is nothing like the Nazis capturing a good portion of Europe, as Putin has failed to capture even a single city for any extended period of time. Additionally, Putin has shown his entire hand, and now the world knows that Russia's military truly isn't up to snuff. They're losing to a much smaller force.
If Russia ever does fully capture Ukraine, it would be at the cost of far too many lives on both sides, and Putin would have created an entire generation of justified freedom fighters. Or as Russia would refer to them, "terrorists." The Russian economy would also never recover unless they were essentially taken over by the Chinese, at which point the few people foolish enough to have stuck around get to live through a whole new type of surveillance state hell.
God damn that was long. I hate typing long ass essays that will go nowhere to people too stubborn and stupid to see any big picture or common sense.
You're telling me...
