"The ~~Nazis~~ Russians entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everybody else and nobody was going to bomb them."
entered? you spelt "started" wrong
It’s a quote from a British officer during ww2 about the Nazis. OP just changed nazi to Russian.
Besides being a quote as the other chap pointed out, to enter something in this manner doesn't suggest they didn't also start it, it's quite acceptable grammatically.
Pip pip tally ho! *rides away into the sunset on Churchill's back"
you spelled "ruZZians" wrong
I don't really think ordinary moscow residents are responsible for this war
There are some residents of Moscow that are definitely responsible for this war.
There are no residents of Ukraine that are responsible for this war.
They may be not guilty, but they are responsible. This is how wars work I believe.
I completely agree with you and find it sad you got downvoted.
These people live in a harsh dictatorship with nopress freedom. In such a state, they don't have a say in what happens in many areas of their lives, let alone in the course of a war.
I don't know if the ukrainian drones are targetting civilians, but if they are nothing makes it ok. We (the Allies) buried civilians under shells in Dresde during WWII and it has always disgusted me. These tactics might be efficient to bring morale down but they should imo never be used.
If Ukrainians generals want payback for what they have been going through in this fucking unjust, brutal and unjustified war, these drones might be better used targeting the rich mansions of Putin's entourage.
I think the fact that they were so surprised speaks for itself. We all tend to underestimate how well propaganda works, including on ourselves.
No, but their leader has lead them into a war which makes them targets in the eyes of the people they're attacking. If they don't like it, they need to remove their leader. Not like Russians don't have form for having revolutions then pulling out of wars.
Back then we didn't live in a police state with modern surveillance tech. It's surprisingly difficult to organize a revolution when the medium of most social communication is readable by the gov without a warrant.
On the other hand I'm still amazed that those (yes I know they weren't ever a revolution) Jan 6 clowns got as far as they did, considering they the relative capabilities of US and Russian domestic surveillance. Like that sort of thing has to have been organized on Facebook and telegram right?
Unless they're not paying taxes, they are
That's how America has salt dealt with the rest of the world for decades

Hey, I don't see anyone here saying those idiots who thought the War on Terror were justified.
Would it happen this way if New York was being hit over the past 6 days? Considering events like 9/11 and the aftermath of Trump give conflicting signals, I'm not sure, but if it did... I don't think the majority of people on the continent, from remote Alaska to Halifax to Mexico City, are going to see a random person complaining about how their kids missed soccer practice because of a bomber run like it's a minor inconvenience to a news reporter and not think "that rich soccer mom is a b**** and she needs to get a clue that we're at f-ing war".
And don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that's not what's going on in Russia, because somehow I suspect that's what places like Kamchatka (Easternmost Siberia) is thinking about Moscow right now.
Basically, "Leaders == Citizens". Please don't judge people based on what their corrupt government does. I don't like the CCP but you don't see me saying Chinese people in general are somehow a uniform entity that is some sort of political hive mind, because that's not how people work.
