I agree in the same sense that many German Wehrmacht soldiers didn't deserve it as well. Oneironaut Feb 2022 #11

My thoughts and hopes are people the people of Kyiv today.

I'm sorry that young person died. Putin killed him.

Anyways, Putin caused this. Hopefully, one day the Russian people will get sick of their country getting looted and getting their children returned in body bags so that they finally vote the scumbag out.

He keeps cheating. Doesn't he receive nearly 100% of the vote? That's some bull hockey. Maybe the people will rise up and bring out the guillotines. I feel awful for the citizens of Russia.

but dying at the hand of Ukrainians who were defending their own country was an entirely predictable consequence of participating in the invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainians are totally justified in their use of deadly force against Russian invaders, and the world is better off if the Russians suffer heavy losses due to their aggression,

However, they’re collectively victimizing a sovereign country. Basically, I agree with you on all these points.
