2. And polite.

3. Unfortunately, it's not your decision, Andrey.

4. But it was his decision to risk his career, and possibly much more, over Putin's action

He could have stayed silent, he had much to lose. Obviously no individual Russian citizen can counter Putin's power. But he made a high profile show of opposition to the invasion of Ukraine. If millions more had similar courage it could change history. His act is worth both acknowledging and honoring.

5. Don't get me wrong. My statement is fact.

I get that he's putting his career - and possibly his life - at risk. There's really only one person who disagrees with Andrey, and somehow HIS opinion is the only one that counts.

[Tom Rinaldo]

6. OK. I just wanted to accent your post with an added supportive tone toward Andrey

As you say, your statement is unfortunately factual.
