Here's a kind reminder that the Russian state is not the Russian people and there are plenty of examples throughout history of people being complacent. There are very few examples of a state so corrupt as Russia, where politicians, oligarchs and literal mafia have a hidden understanding and the system of law is just a dog and pony show.
That being said, empower Russians in diaspora, here in Europe and in the US, that seek to depose Putin, that seek to inform the Russian people. I'm saying Russia needs it's own IRA and certain buildings need to go boom, not because Ukraine, but because of Russians.
Be their ally, and for God's sake, don't use fucking Telegram to communicate with them.
Sorry, but no. We're far too long into this bullshit by now, with Russia now pushing towards WW3. If you're after all this shit still in Russia and not actively righting the regime, as if all of this doesn't concern you, then you're part oft he problem. Just like the Germans in Nazi Germany at the time who just looked away, despite knowing what was happening.
People in power are put into or were allowed to seize that power. Not saying 100% of russia is behind putin but enough are. For me russians are part of the proble and I will not defer to putin and make him a scapegoat. russians need to take responsibility and until they do, I have no kindness or consideration for them.
Nuance is all fine and well, I bet the people getting raped and killed will have (had) a different opinion. I will stand with Ukraine if you do not mind and leave sympathy where it belongs: Ukraine
