@Hopfgeist @NoiseColor dear hopfgeist, a very balanced and humane answer. I humbly disagree though. In comparison to nazi Wehrmacht soldiers, Russian conscripts will not be shot. They will go to jail which is likely no fun. But they -have- a choice. Every second. Some surrender. The most don't. Since Bucha I have put my empathy for anything Russian very very very far away.

@Marduk73 @LaFinlandia price and cost and no. ordered. It seems high, but if you need 1000 FTE subsidies to keep the factory producing even small batches you cone easily to that. Defense is a complicated business. Like insurance. With cycles.

@Hopfgeist @NoiseColor reminder: they are still raping, killing, maiming their neighbour on their own neighbours land. Since 600 days. They could just stop. They don't. Therefore: The don't deserve our pity, they deserve what is happening right now. Until each of them on Ukarines soil is fertilizer. #DestroyRussiaOnceAndForAll

@Darkhoof @Wilshire it's not their f*cking country. \

@circuscritic @chowderman Dear balanced Canadian friend of nuanced critique: Noone dehumanises them. They are legit and legitimate aggressors in a foreign land. Do you know your countries history fighting my ancestors? I thank God every day that you gave us the chance to get back to humanity after auschwitz. But every Wehrmacht soldier on foreign land of my forefathers was Guilty. Russia is cancer. It must end. Like nazi Germany. Like Arthur Harris did. No pity. #DestroyRussiaOnceAndForAll

@ivanafterall @BombOmOm I like that. Ww2 best practices. #DestroyRussiaOnceAndForAll

@Hopfgeist yes and no. Of course Russia would take it under wraps. And UA has even more sources inside RU. The big elephant is whether it would change anything. Or benefit UA and the war effort. Correct is that the IC is silent. Also the RU posture didn't changed a bit. So he is either alive, or dead and reasons exists that the IC is silent. In any case it's these 100 ppl that steer RU imo.

@Nobody @Buffalox the rumor is that he is already dead. Or one of his doubles. And Patrushev is pulling the strings. But apparently: we see no change in posture. It's not him. It's imo his ca. 100 ppl entourage who holds the power. Though, it's still 'no war', 'just' SVO.
