    The origin of this war is that Putin wants to restore the Soviet Union and thought Ukraine is easy prey, because of revolutionary forces within Ukraine and because his collaborators lied to him. They then continued to invade with limited success, thanks to low morale, aged tactics and corruption in their badly equipped military. Now Russians die in the thousands not because of Ukraine, but because of him.

      No point in feeding the troll. Look at his profile, it’s a either a Russian in denial or an extreme case of tankie.

        Ah, sorry, ofc he’s just defending against all these western aggressors you hear so much about. You know, the ones who are now gearing up because of his aggression.

        Anyway, please go ahead and die in the “special military operation”, if it’s so necessary from your point of view. I’m sure you’ll be missed.
