Ukraine Attacks Russian Airbases Well Within Russia
- Thread starter Revoltingest
- Start date
I hope for two things upon reading this:
• that the attacks on the Russian air bases help bring the war closer to ending, and
• that no civilians, Russian or Ukrainian, are harmed or killed in the process.
• that the attacks on the Russian air bases help bring the war closer to ending, and
• that no civilians, Russian or Ukrainian, are harmed or killed in the process.
I hope Ukraine wins quickly.
Same. I also hope said win doesn't involve more bloodshed of civilians. "Collateral damage" is one of the most tragic aspects of war, especially when it happens during necessary self-defense.
Soldier deaths are tragic too...some more than others.
Especially when they're conscripts.
When it comes to stopping Russia who is telling their troops to rape children and torture people, there's no equivalence.
People die tragically all the time. The slaughter of Americans due to gun violence is just one example. The deaths of people who can't get adequate medical care let alone sufficient food is another.

I rather think some of these "attacks""accidental explosions" are the work of sympathisers, or active Ukrainian local behind the line cells.
Just like there are lots of Russians living in Ukraine, there are lots of Ukrainians living all around Russia.
I do not share the view that this war will be over any time soon. Putin is staking his future reputation on it.
He has already staked hundreds of thousands of other people's lives on it. He will pay any price to win.

I was talking about conscript deaths in general, many of whom would rather not be in a war of aggression. This applies to many Americans who fought in Vietnam, too.
I agree stopping Russia is a priority, and Ukrainian self-defense is obviously not equivalent to Russian aggression.

I fear this a lot. Not only do I have extended family in both nations, but several favorite bands. One of them even took to Facebook when "fans" demanded a statement chastising them that they (the band) were currently taking shelter in basements and fearing nuclear escalation. It is so easy to forget that the every-day citizens do not want what their madman president wants.
I follow a lot of cats on social media that live or lived in Russia and Ukraine. Some of the breeders in Ukraine have had to relocate, and it has been immensely painful to watch the poor animals and their owners have to flee in such terrible circumstances.
In a dictatorship like Russia, many citizens who have no voice may pay the price for their leader's bloodlust and egomaniacal aggression.

Yes, how dare a democratic, sovereign nation defend itself from an unprovoked, terroristic invasion.

It does grimly amuse me how everyone anticipates "World War 3" when the whole term of a "World War" was retroactive.
