Well I respect your opinion but l see it differently. Also how is this relevant here?

Well, why not aim for both?

Is some of this already financed from the interest of frozen russian assets in EU? There was some news about this recently but I don't understand all the abbrevations in the press release.

Somehow risking it all for the slight chance of some little money seems worth it. But these guys could be so much more effective and bring so much more life improvements by risking it instead in protests and civilian unrest to topple their regime.

The shitty thing is people are dying already, we're well past that point. What needs to change is that somehow still dying on the front is more acceptable than risking it in some kind of mass protest movement.

That's literally the Nazi ideology, how can Russians be so blind to this.

In a war you rarely have independent proof, that's the point. So there is nothing wrong with being a bit cautious and sceptical when hearing news and I feel you are being a bit harsh.

And for sure propaganda exists on both sides, I guess no one is seriously disputing this. At the same time I have no doubts that being a PoW is 1000 times better than being in a Russian trench. But still I can acknowledge that reports like this are not some kind of independent journalism.

Let's give him some credit, he's actually the smart guy here.

Anyone else getting flashbacks to Portal?

Not sure if you're being sarcastic? We tried holding back pretty much for years but Russia has been escalating regardless. There's no point anymore, the logical thing is to supply everything Ukraine can effectively make use of.
