Russia Invades Ukraine

Russian citizens aren't to blame for any of this. They are just as much victims of the guys in charge as Ukrainian citizens are.

They're as innocent as the citizens of Hiroshima or Dresden.

There's an enormous difference between doing what's necessary, albeit unfortunate, to win a war versus wishing death on civilians of a country that we're not at war with.

And hell, Germany and Japan started that war. I certainly lament the killing of civilians regardless, but during WWII those deaths are on Germany and Japan. It's still sad though.

It's also sad when soldiers are killed by the way (unless the soldier in question was committing atrocities).

I'm not wishing death on them. I'm saying they're fair game.

We are talking about 2 different things then.

It's one thing if Ukraine had killed a bunch of Russian civilians while targeting a general or something, it's another when it's random terrorists just looking to sow terror, and who are even worse than the Russian government themselves to begin with.

People talk about human life so flippantly. Taking a life is not an easy thing to do. Or something easy to live with.

And if you claim that it is, you are either a fucking liar or a huge, psychotic piece of shit. Or both.

All due respect to Kasparov, but this is borderline incoherent. Is he saying Russia (Putin) did this?

Sure sounds like it. Or at least let it happen.

sloppy security doesn't mean it was a false flag event

Did they hope to escape? They didn't know it was a suicide mission?
