At this point I'm kinda disappointed in the Russian people.

@RodionRomanovitch @Doomflower

Hmm...

Thousands of anti-war protesters are now in Russian prisons.

Besides, this is no better or worse that the Iraq War. I failed in my big to overthrow Tony Blair. Sorry for that.

@Burnley123 except the russians are NEXT DOOR to Ukraine. They have family and friends in Ukraine. It's not like they're attacking some far flung land of people who speak and act very differently.

Idk it seems so much more personal.

@Doomflower Well yeah, it's more like Britain and Ireland. Even so, you can't blame the domestic population. Would I organise against Putin? I honestly don't know.

@Burnley123 I don't just mean the domestic population.

Humans are fucking garbage
@Doomflower Keep in mind that it's a dictatorship. Lots of Russians have protested the war, but they get arrested and beaten. Russia doesn't have freedom of speech.

@Burnley123'Thousands of anti-war protesters are now in Russian prisons.' - Thousands out of a population of 130 million , and with Putin with a popularity rating of 80%.

'Besides, this is no better or worse that the Iraq War.' - This is much worse. Russia is engaged in the wholesale destruction of Ukranian cities and is practicing genocide.

@RodionRomanovitch Obviously the popularity ratings are hard to trust.

He certainly does have support. Propeganda effects people.
