    Does that work?

    Is it right to tell random people “hey you, it’s your job to break local laws and topple your dictator, we could invade you with actual trained military people but that would be inconvenient for us”?

      No, it’s not right.

      People on these forums have been conditioned to see the world through their fairytale-lens and nothing else, though.

      A part of oppression is removing people’s ability to fight back. Anyone who holds the average Russian responsible for the war is just playing into the hands of the cabal. It’s like they never heard of Navalny, or any other Russian dissenters.

      These people need our help. We shouldn’t victim-blame them and say they need to topple a dictator all on their own.

      Same goes for North Korea.

        interviews of the locals have shown that the lowest rung of society in russia supports and promote the war. DYOR.

      Is a strictly enforced economic sanction better than an all out regime change invasion/occupation of another sovereign country that costs the lives of millions… we’ll have to get back to you on that one.
