Well it's good you support vulnerable populations. Say did you hear about this guy pretty much universally called a dictator who forcibly conscripts innocent poor kids and ethnic minorities into his foreign war for power while keeping most of his military at home in order to ensure tight control over the domestic population so they can't meaningfully rebel and even when they do international media spins it as the enemy country in this dictator's war having a successful attack even when it's obvious domestic sabotage that likely has nothing to do with the war except, obviously, the forced conscription and increased domestic military presence?

Man that seems like a target rich environment full of blood thirsty enemies for you to root for the complete and total genocide of and not at all a vulnerable population.

There's no meaningful opposition. The majority of Russians still support this war. How am I supposed to view the conscripts as innocent kids when they chose to commit unspeakable war crimes across Ukraine? It's hard for me to find sympathy.

The majority of Russians still support this war.

You mean in polls conducted in a country where secret police have literally posed as pollsters and arrested people, and where police just openly arrest anyone that speaks out against the regime, there isn't a large consensus speaking out against the regime?!

My God, they're all monsters, even the children!

At the start of the war, I had a lot more sympathy for the Russian people. After 4 years, not so much.

Vengeance is a bitch.
