      There is plenty, and the general sentiment is anti-war. It’s just hugely unsafe to speak out publicly against the regime. In private, most people seem to agree that this is a bloody massacre nobody asked for.

        Some of these users need to learn to separate a government from it’s people. The Russian people don’t really have a choice.

    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.

      What’s Putin worried about? He’s sure the Ukrainian invasion will be over in only 3 days. /s

      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.

      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.

    I mean, he’s right. It’s not the people’s fault he’s a piece of shit and should get out of Ukraine.

      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.

    Shoulda considered that before intimidating the peaceful population of Ukraine. I have a friend who completely uprooted her life and career trajectory to manage humanitarian aid to her home country. The fact of the matter is peaceful Russians are want enables the Orkish horde. My view is that they’ve been kept in the dark about the truth of their reality. Their lack of concern is a result of not knowing what is and isn’t real (and to many degrees us Americans live in the same situation with regard to our actions throughout west Asia). All Ukraine is doing right now is bringing truth to Kursk. I hope it doesn’t turn into reprisals. From what I’ve seen, they’re trying a winning hearts and minds strategy. But the bottom line is Russia initiated total war. They have no one to complain to about that there’s a total war going on at their borders

    Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are far right enough that they think Putin isn’t fascist enough.

    Like, yeah, it’s great that they’re fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find enough people in Russia who aren’t complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?
