as someone on the outside it looks like Ukraine is getting shit done.
looks like a couple poor Russian fools got shot in the back of the head because they were untrained and poorly equipped for dealing with this situation.
I’ve contemplated on what I could say to you, but you’ve already made up your mind. it’s important to hold our convictions close and protect them. but it’s foolish to ignore the reality of the situation and refuse to be flexible.
that said, when we ignore the litany of atrocities and war crimes that are being perpetrated against Ukrainians, it’s easy to overlook when soldiers kill soldiers on the battlefield, regardless of the agreements or laws of war.
so you can take your inflexible sensibilities and your ideals out of here because I can guarantee you nobody here agrees with you. anyone who refuses to see that is either willfully ignorant of it or is a troll.
Neither does the fact that both sides have been using cluster bombs since the onset of the war, but nobody’s talking about it anymore.
I wish we could return to the age of limited warfare. Small armies, pitched battles, limited engagements. But it’s hard to put the genie back in the bottle, isn’t it?
Again, we’re talking about one soldier who shot some men in the back, not an entire nation’s defense predicated on illegal methodology. Let’s try and keep our alarm in perspective; When we see the Looney Tunes & Close-up Magic Division using hijinks and misdirection at scale while masses of onlookers cheer the end of international rules-based norms, we will have cause for perturbation.

looks to me like Russia should go back home.
