Most wars are stupid. This one is extra- extra- extra-stupid.
Then why did Putin start it? Why did he try to overthrow the Ukraine government? Don’t tell me it was because of Nazis.
And Putin’s response is perfectly predictable, I’m not defending it, just saying those who think the Russians will keep taking damage and not respond are fools. We wouldn’t take that damage and not respond 99% of the time, neither will Ivan.
As for the comment on blowing up innocent civilians, have your looked at our record in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and Syria? That is the pot calling the kettle black. That being said as much as it is condemned the fact is civilians are always going to die in war either from directed fire or as the military puts it collateral damage, it’s the nature of the beast.
