    Rule one of this community is “sympathy for enemy combatants is prohibited” for what that’s worth.

        Many at this point didn’t enlist at all, they are basically slave-soldiers pressed into service. And not just Russians.

          Africans lured there? Yes. Russians? Who ever wouldn’t know what they’re in for? And sure, there’s always someone who claims they did it “by mistake” but the vast majority know.

      Hard to have sympathy when they illegally invaded with no justification against greed and if they wanted the death tonstop all they have to do is leave.

      Russia has spent what, 4 years now, trying to comvince everyone their shitty invasion was some sort of provoked two sided event but it wasn’t. They are entirely the agressor against a non agressor opponent.

      Then they kept poking hoping other countries would start fighting (NATO) to prove their lies about NATO agression, and that never happened either.

      All they have done is make the world hate them even more and show the world their “great military might” is trash from all the corruption hollowing it out for decades.

      Ukraine was a nothingburger country that some “great” country like Russia should have been able to roll through in a day or two. And Ukraine has held off Russia for four years now. Russia has shown they are a joke.
