Neither a hexbear or a lemmygrad, but there are humans on both sides, I don't see how you could deny that.

Should the perpetrators be prosecuted and punished ? Of course, and I hope nobody ever argued the opposite.

Should the current political, army and economy leaders be destituted, trialed and imprisoned ? Yeah, no doubt.

But should all of Russia and its inhabitants be bombed "back into the stone age" ? I really dont' think so. I mean, following this logic, we should bomb USA, most of Europe, China and probably many more countries where the authorities allowed and encouraged hateful and violent crimes to be commited for their own personal gain.

I live in France, and we have a history of destroying lives in other countries for no real reason. French governement officials are more or less friends with industry ceos whose companies have used and still use armed militias to maintain instability in African countries via violence, intilidation, murder and rape in order to get resources cheaper. And it fucking sickens me. But most people here don't even know about it, and we have (for the most part) free press.

So I'm guessing it must be really difficult for a Russian resident to really know what's happening in this war and on the frontlines, and I'd wager your average Russian doesn't think torturing kids is ok.

but there are humans on both sides

Well, these are humans only in the strictly biological sense of the word, but if we ponder for a while what makes us human, I find it very lacking in the pieces of shit that are in the Russian army.

They won't be, though. Hence why I feel my idea with bombing them is much better.

Should the current political, army and economy leaders be destituted, trialed and imprisoned ? Yeah, no doubt.

That's not gonna happen. Russia just renamed "tzar" to "president" but nothing else changed. They're still stuck in the middle ages. I only propose to set them further back.

How far into the past are we talking? Because Russia is happening right now. I don't really think we should bomb Europe because of what happened a hundred years ago. I'm talking about right here and right now.
