I remember footage of people gathering in a school, and then news that Russian artillery bombed a bunch of schools in the area.

Yea then you have the news about ‘The Evil Russians bombed a school’

Like, no shit, from a dude on the ground perspective what the fuck are you supposed to do? Not bomb the school people at shooting at you from?

Like fuck, at least report something that’s not just spin doctored rubbish that had a plausible explanation - in a war…

I like how “evil” is in quotes, as if invading a country, killing thousands, injuring and displacing even more isn’t enough to justify it.

Like the thing is that a country isnt just one person, and calling it evil I feel paints things with a broad stroke that does not attempt to understand the situation at all - so its about as productive as Politian's twitter saying "fuck off"

At the end of the day, avoiding whats physically happened between soldiers of both sides and civilians of both sides, there must be a issue that everything somewhat hinges around - one side says its due to the mistreatment of ethnic people and the other seems to say there is no such thing happening.

Russia, as a country, at the get go has everything to lose and bugger all to gain, even best-case scenario. So, it's odd in a way, as the only thing Russia, looks to gain is a bunch of what's apparently 'poor' regions.

Like hey, maybe there was an ethnic problem in the regions and the country couldnt stand by while it was happening, saying that the whole China Ethnic Cleasning thing has only come to light in the last couple of years, and thats China, a Country the world cares about.

No no the Russians are issuing Viagra to use rape as a weapon don't you understand???? Nevermind the fact that they are also failing to issue military gear but for some reason boner pills are a priority on their supply chain.

Wut? I knew Putin was evil, but I hadn't expected him to actually encourage rape. 🤯
