Russian news anchor says millions of Russians feel invasion is a catastrophe

[Warpy]

3. There was a YouTube posted here about a week beofre the invasion

that interviewed people on city streets. Some, especially older people, spouted the Putin line. Most younger people said the war was crazy, stupid, would be a catastrphe.

I guess buying the greater glory of Russia and the current Fearless Leader depends on whether or not you're young enough to have to accomplish it for him. Or whether you came of age in a freer society where you were allowed to have an opinion.

Funny, in the leadup to the Iraq war (I and II), most of the people I knew who were most vehemently against it were old crocks like me who remember the Vietnam War and remember all the horseshit they were telling us, and recognized it again leading up to Iraq. The young didn't want it, either. It seemed to be the middle who supported it here.
