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.

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.

he gets it! Putin can do this war only because he is supported by so many russians!
