Gosh I hate to day this but... Russia is a country at war.
This is a fact. And because the war almost entirely happens on Ukrainian soil, Russians seems to forget they are at war and civilians casualties WILL happen. The same is happening in Ukraine on a much bigger scale.
It sucks, yeah, but it's war. And this is why pretty much everybody is telling Russia to get the fuck out of Ukraine.
And some of you may think "well this is just common sense, why does it have to be said?" Because Russians think they shouldn't suffer any consequence from this.
In their heads, Ukraine should be the only country having to suffer losses.
Call me an asshole but these two young innocent ladies should not have been out in the open streets like that while at war. Imaging taking a stroll with your infant daughter in Berlin 1945, this sound stupid right? Well to me, this is exactly the same.
Supporting war is all fun and games until it hit home. Now it becomes a lot less funny all of a sudden. Yet, it's only 1% of what they're doing in Ukraine. I won't cry about that.
And yes, I get that this is just a Putin's power trip and he's solely responsible for this war but you'd be surprised how many of these RuZZians fucks supports this. The Russian people can decide any day of the week to risk it all and cut the leader's head but they don't care to do that, because they don't see the war firsthand.
Let this be a grim reminder that no one is safe when your country is at war. None. Fuck Putin, fuck RuZZians and fuck war.
/end of rant
The situation in Ukraine is quite different from WWII bombing raids. Russian attacks are spread out, less targeted, and generally less devistating in secure, Ukrainian held territory. I disagree that Ukrainians should be sheltering at all times, or that if they choose to leave the house they are less deserving of anyone's pity when they are murdered.
You would almost certainly be walking to the corner store, or attending a social event if you lived there.
I want then to realize they are at war and that this is not just a 3 days special operation.
I know this is not ideal but at war, staying home is probably safer than singing and dancing in the streets.
They think it's a joke but the truth is, this will escalate and more innocent people will die - from both side.
I don't wish death upon anybody, I want them safe. This is why I think it's stupid for them to be outside out in the open ESPECIALLY nearby a war manufacturing factory
It doesn't matter where they are in Ukraine, russians send missiles into homes/apartment buildings, schools, and hospitals. Probably most bomb shelters are inadequate, so that's out of the question. Sad reality is, this is their reality and they have to get about their lives and business regardless of what russia does. Defiance to the enemy, heroyam slava!
Your rantings have all the trademarks of someone sitting in their home and being a social media knight.
Ofcourse people are trying to continue their lives during a war! You have to work, you have to eat, you have to find positivity in small things like street performers.
Sound like you are saying "well, its their fault for not rotting away in a bunker". It is called "victim blaming" what you are doing.
Well guess what asshole, ITS RUSSIAS FAULT.
Putin has to die for this, his cronies have to die for this and the people of Russia should learn to be invested in what happens politically.
Fuck Putin in the worst way possible.
Slava Ukraina!
he gets it! Putin can do this war only because he is supported by so many russians!
