Should you be killed for what your government does?
I don't think anyone wants to play that game.
This really doesnt hold up for very long if you think about it. You cant just let countries keep doing shit like this. "Should germans have been killed for their countries military actions" No, technically not, but they had to die anyways in order to stop the war machine. Russia can only continue fighting because it has the support of the population.
easy to say people are complicit in an extreme dictatorship when you can get killed for the smallest opposition they are still many Russians opposing the war and you still want to nuke them
I didnt say anything about nuking them. Idk what the original comment said, but there will always be some amount of blood. It should be minimized ofcourse so nukes are out of the question.
Sorry i meant the guy who's comment was removed for saying to nuke russia
They may not, but it's part of the war.
London was bombed. Tokyo, Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Go to Europe and hear how things were more beautiful before the war/bombing.
Play stupid games. Win stupid prizes.
That said, I see Ukrainians as fighting for their survival and I dont fault them in the slightest.
Hiroshima and Nagasaki is one of the biggest war crimes. Would you support the usa getting nuked during iraq war or israel getting nuked because of the 57 years of occupation?
I never said I supported it. That's something you read into it.
Bombing of civilians is a long established part of war. As was looting, pillaging and anything else that reminded the populace that war sucks.
Gengis Khan doesn't have as many descendents as he does because of consentual relations, for example. War is war.
It's not pretty. And none of that is me saying it's okay.
Find your villain elsewhere.
If it was always part of wars and we should accept it why are you not applying this uncivilized and savage realities to russia?
