and most of the russian people are supporting it…I wish it would be different, but even with more than a year into it, with all the sanctions, the deaths, the changed lifestyle, 2/3 of the russian population (rich, poor, countryside or towns) are supporting the russian leadership and the war…
still it was accepted by the russians for centuries…sorry this country could have put putin and his propaganda down but they decided against it, to keep their lifestyle…
In a way, can you blame the average Russian for being afraid to speak out against leadership, whatever their personal feelings may be? Ever heard of Lenin? Stalin? The Romanovs? Political dissidents are not and never were treated kindly in Russia.
I have friends who left russia or belarus for speaking out what they think of this perverted vision of russia! They did not held back and it’s the fault of the russian people that they have this leadership, because they rather accepted it for all the years instead rising against it!
Putin has all the power because not enough people fought him!
The average Russian isn’t to blame. Are many of them brainwashed? Yes, but that alone doesn’t make them evil. Also, I’m pretty sure you made up that 2/3 of Russians statistic.
Don’t let the decisions of a handful of legacy-obsessed warmongers trick you into hating the population of an entire country.
According to the most recent ExtremeScan poll, support for the war fell 13% in one year — from 64% in March and April 2022 to 51% in April 2023. That is significant, but it’s clearly not enough to make the Putin regime tremble.
There is some greater light cast by other surveys, however. Russian Field found that only 27% of Russians support further military escalation while 34% want peace talks. Slightly confusingly, 33% favor both options at the same time. The trends are clear enough — backing for the war is on a slowly declining path and the issue is extremely divisive. More importantly, the reasons and justifications people use to make sense of the war have shifted.
Your first comment makes it seem like you’re putting blame on Ukraine, even though your other comments clarify you’re not in support of Russia. At least that’s how it read to me.

Except Russia is the aggressor and Ukraine is fighting in self-defense. So yeah, fuck Putin.
but then it’s fuck russia too
No. Fuck Russian leadership. Let’s make it clear, the aggression is Putin and his choices.

I’d claim support too if the alternative was jail.
that’s too easy…the hate for all what is west is anchored deeply in the russian society. This country has been brainwashed for centuries.
Keyword: brainwashed.

I abhor russia for that.

yes I do!

Yes, this is due to propaganda, made and controlled by Russian leadership. There is no independent press or TV in Russia.

it did fell but is is still high: https://cepa.org/article/do-russians-still-embrace-the-war-yes-and-no/
Did you even read the article you posted?
It’s not just Putin. A lot of Russians actually support the war.
@Zoldyck @Luci
And are apparently still actively vacationing in Crimea which is absurd. War needs to be brought to their ignorant asses hard.
That’s a metric fuckton of Putin clones fighting in this war then.
I hope him and every single one of his enablers take a ripe pineapple up the butt.
that would be too harmless.
Probably… but it would be a nice start.
Fuck the Kremlin and CCP.
Who’s war alone? What?
it’s not putins war alone. it’s the russians war.

holy shit no! I just want to clarify that putin has most of the russians behind him!
I’m confused. Did the title say “Putin’s missile” originally?
