12. Your sympathy for the Russian military is misplaced.

They are killing Ukrainian civilians. That you don't appear to recognize that is alarming, at the very least.

They are part of an invading military force that has no respect for innocent civilian lives at all.

I'm sorry, but you are missing a very large part of what is going on, apparently, or are confused about the priorities of the Russian military.

Please stop doing that. Thank you.
