    There’s no meaningful opposition. The majority of Russians still support this war. How am I supposed to view the conscripts as innocent kids when they chose to commit unspeakable war crimes across Ukraine? It’s hard for me to find sympathy.

      The majority of Russians still support this war.

      You mean in polls conducted in a country where secret police have literally posed as pollsters and arrested people, and where police just openly arrest anyone that speaks out against the regime, there isn’t a large consensus speaking out against the regime?!

      My God, they’re all monsters, even the children!

        At the start of the war, I had a lot more sympathy for the Russian people. After 4 years, not so much.

        Vengeance is a bitch.
