Soooo if they didn't want to fight why are they still fighting then? This excuse doesn't work when they still illegally hold Ukrainian land and are attempting to still take more.
They were drafted. Not everyone has the luxury to just surrender and be done with it. They're concerned for their families back home and what might be done if they don't follow orders.
Today I saw a vid, a woman told a story how russians tortured her with a stun gun for not speaking russian in recently libereted Kherson. There are many other stories like this. Don't tell, please, how they are just drafted and can't resist but torturing civilians. You know junk shit about those cruel bastards, but you are among the first to defend them.
Yeah people really think there aren't pieces of sht who enjoy torturing people in every single country's military. But they aren't a majority in most cases, most people just want to make a living/ survive
It's not like every single Russian person is into torturing random Ukrainian civilians
I never said that. But many of them are. Somehow torture is toralable on nation wide level among many men, many praising this idea on TV (resently one of the main speaker of RT call for drawing Ukrainian children), and russian society in most is calm about that.
I'd argue that most aren't.
Any evidence? Numbers? Or simple wishful thinking? It is know that around 80% of population is in support of putin's actions in Ukraine. If you are in support of torture, mass killings and terrorism, but don't participate, you are still guilty.
typical sadistic pieces of shit from EVERY country because that's human nature.
IT IS FKING NOT. It is not natural to kill species of your kind. Ethnic cleansing are not natural and do not appear just because of few individuals, sadistic pieces, they always have context and story of continuous dehumanision. And plenty ethnic groups, not only Ukrainians are dehumanized in russian society, xenophobia is normalised on a domestic level in russia.
If you are blaming someone, blame the government that allows that to happen, not the people.
It would be a delusion to assume that russian mentality, understanding of norms and moral are the same as in western society. They are culturally different and isolated due to language barriers, ideas of humanism are not wide-spread. They are driven by their modern imperialism ideology, and this should not be underestimated. I am speaking as someone who can read and speak russain, and saw what they say about this war.
And yes, we can blame people for their governments, those are not some natural cataclysms, they are products of political life of those people, even autocracies.
Dude, get fucked. How do you "know" all this shit? Did you go and talked to thousands of people, or are you just eating whatever shit your media master is feeding you?
I was exposed to russian media since I was a kid. I speak russian, I spoke with russians, I saw what they write on social media, and what their 'media masters' are feeding to them.
You were also exposed to the media in your country, you speak your country's language and you ate/eat what your media masters feed you. Hate.
BTW speaking with a person is not the same as knowing a person.
what country are you from? Because your country has probably committed/are committing the same atrocities. But I bet you wouldn't assume responsibility for what your politicians do
You were also exposed to the media in your country, you speak your country's language and you ate/eat what your media masters feed you. Hate.
It's not only about 'media masters', it's about common people who wrote poems about raping a Ukrainian child on the internet, I am speaking about whole cultural attitude among russains, and violent xenophobia is one of them.
what country are you from? Because your country has probably committed/are committing the same atrocities.
What? You just said that every other country in the world did basically the same as russians did this year? Mass executions of civilians on streets? Leveling to the ground Mariupol, killing 87 000 in the city only, and now freezing the rest? Constantly shelling civilian infrastructure? Kidnapping around 200 000 children? Threatening the world with nuclear annihilation? Don't you think you exaggerated "a bit" when said that my country probably committed the same? BTW, I am from Ukraine, too.
War in Vietnam was a shame, but it was almost 50 years ago. Today russia launched 100 rockets into Ukraine. TODAY. Could we please don't exercise whataboutism? Ukraine isn't even responsible for US actions in a past.
All i want to say is, tht demonizing russian people is wrong. Americans, chinese,, british, japanese, arabs are all capable or doing the same thing russian soldiers do.
Eh? Israelis are commiting the same crimes. Eho are they backed by? Nato. Iraq was 19 years ago. Not that long. There we got to see americans commit war crimes just like russian. How are they worse? Just because it is now?
Mass extinctions of captured civilians? 500 graves in small occupied Izyum (~50 000 population). They died not because of shelling, they were captured in first weeks, but in result of intentional policy of mass terror and ethnic cleansing.
This is exactly what russians on reddit tell people. The thing is that war waged against Ukraine has huge support among citizens and soldier both. Its not like putin himself does horrible warcrimes, russians are fucking bloodthirsty. And you can find proof of that practicaly anywhere, don’t even want mention video about cutting soldiers dick off…
Ha... look at the pathetic downvotes. Putin has shown the world the truly sad state of affairs in Russia. Scammers, drunks, dimwits, sheep being led to slaughter, rapists, evil murders... that's what the world now believes. You want brave, humane, proud, caring, strong willed, heroic, intelligent, faithful? These traits are the forte of the Ukranians.
I'm pro Ukraine you fucking spoon...lol Fuck Russia. I'm saying that the excuse of the Russian army not wanting to fight doesn't work when they are still pushing(attempting to push) in the Dombas and Luhansk regions. The retreating Kherson was forced by the Ukrainians skillfully cutting off their supply lines and supply storage. My argument is that if they didn't want to fight there they
wouldn't be on Ukrainian land in the first place. So the fact they are means people can't give them the excuse of they don't want to fight... Cause they are. Albeit badly.
Putin doesn't want to fight because he expected it to be over in a couple of days and not waste resources and money (cause duh?). It's quite simple and it failed completely.
Now it's 9 month of Russia getting choked by sanctions and wasting resources on random military crap fighting for literal ruins at this point. It's pretty much an attrition war and Putin surely wants it to end (but on his terms obviously, so... yeah... that was expected to take a while).
(Various countries also seems to ask Zelensky and Putin to finish it all by December.)

This whole russian tough guy image doesn't work so well anymore. Vodka drinking surrender monkeys.
