    Defeating the Kremlin by... laughing at a random civilian's suffering? How is this supposed to make anyone empathize LESS with Russia?

      I've seen absolute racism heaped upon Russian civilians like mad, and somehow, yes, it's led to less empathy for Russians. Seems like libs have been dying to enjoy guilt-free racism.

        I remember Russians being turned back at the border when conscription started. Isn't that the literal opposite of what would hurt Russia's war effort.

          I'm glad you mentioned this, because despite that being the heroic thing to do (Vietnam draft dodgers are the real heroes (on the American side) of that war), I still saw so much hatred for them on twitter. There were people saying they should've stayed in Russia and protested the war instead. There was a (singer?) who committed suicide because he believed the war to be immoral and didn't want to have to kill innocents, and even he was getting tons of hate.

            I hadn't heard this, that's very sad. Disgusting that someone could claim moral superiority over someone who literally died to avoid harming others.

      Lol, you can probably include all of the names of the Ukrainian generals under “Russian orcs” and Americans wouldn’t know the difference

      it actually makes complete sence when you realise that the entire point is to destroy Russia and genocide it's people. Their problem is not just with this specific russian government, but with russian people as a whole
