In a way it’s terrible to say, but it’s so satisfying to watch.
If you don’t like dying, go back home. All said, it’s really quite simple.
I love seeing their expensive equipment destroyed. Less tools those psychopaths have to spread oppression and death.
Bittersweet seeing the soldiers die. Ukrainians are safer when they do, but the vast majority are just brainwashed young men with no good options.

Definitely a significant portion, but not “the vast majority”. It also doesn’t matter in the big picture because they are complicit as members of an invading force.
I would argue the vast majority. Don’t underestimate the amount of propaganda they go through.
I feel sad seeing all deaths in this war. I just feel less sad when it’s the invaders.
And yet you felt the need to try and make it about the poor, poor soldiers who are regularly killing Ukranian civilians to stroke Putin’s ego.
I mean now you’re just pivoting from the standard soldier, which we are taking about, to the ones committing the war crimes. Which isn’t an insignificant amount and I won’t try to excuse their behavior but I don’t think it’s fair to say all of them are war criminals.
But for the standard Russian soldier hanging out in a trench after getting swept off the streets in some minority region of Russia and pushed straight to the front lines and getting a grenade dropped on him from a drone; Yes, I feel a bit bad for them.
No, I am talking about the regular soldiers who are bombing and firing artillery into Ukrainian cities and killing civilians. Plus those that drive through fields, destroying crops, destroying buildings and infrastructure, and all the soldiers who do maintenance and bring food to the soldiers that are killing civilians directly.
Plus a significant part of the Ukrainian army was civilian until they were drafted to defend their country against invaders.
Fuck every single Russian soldier that went to the front lines for any reason whatsoever, whether or not their individual actions are technically war crimes. They are part of the military and therefore complicit in the war crimes because the entire war is built on lies and cultural genocide of the Ukrainian people.
Also, fuck you for being an apologist.

@snooggums @LaFinlandia @espentan @awwwyissss @cooljacob204 Being sorry for lives lost in the war, which means being sorry for russians getting killed is bothsidesing and false balance.
Russians started the killing. Russians can stop it any minute. Russian commit barbaric war crimes every day.
Russians are human beings which are responsible for their actions. Russians decide every day to perpetuate the barbarism. They are responsible. Each and everyone who does not stand up against the terror
It’s important to keep our own humanity in the face of barbaric actions. Like I said, I’m glad those soldiers are gone. At the same time, I realize that a lot of them were forced to be there. A lot of them genuinely believed they were on the right side as they lay there dying.
The explosion diameter was much bigger than I thought
They’re were a couple of dudes standing around the vehicle who are definitely 400. If those were trained on electronic warfare, definitely good value for the money. I wonder how long it is between spotting, launch, and impact, they muss have been stationary for a while.
