Your post was just another example of your juvenile mindset. We don’t share similar beliefs about who the innocent party is in this skirmish, so I must be a heartless cynic who supports abortion.

For someone who professes to care about suffering so much, you’re remarkably sanguine about the pain the Russian soldiers inside the 56 tanks must have felt when the Ukrainians destroyed them. To be burnt alive inside a tin coffin must have been excruciating. Yet you express absolutely no sympathy for those men, only for the Ukrainians, who obviously aren’t free of cruelty either judging by the way they dispatched their enemy and then gloated about it on social media.

I suggest you stop paying attention to the Ukrainian fairy tales the media is doling out daily and instead do your own research about what’s really happening in an area that’s 7000 miles away. You obviously are a person who is overly emotional and easily manipulated, and someone like that definitely shouldn’t be engaging in the sordid and ghoulish realities of war.

Your own bias is blinding you. I’ve been watching this whole thing on and off for over 40 years.

In the case of the “gloating”, at least from the Ukes it’s not really what most people would think is gloating. It’s the anger of those who feel stabbed in the back by “brothers” (not really, but we’d have to do some serious & lengthy history to unwind that.) Also let down by the West they’d pinned their hopes on, and left with “I’m gonna die, but I’m taking some of you bastards with me”. It is more spunk than gloating.

Separately, I’ve already expressed my dismay about what this will do to the Russian people. That includes thousands of families whose sons (mostly) will never see home again, and many of those sons have died in horrible ways. But, that goes for BOTH sides, and I must also consider the civilians killed, a country wrecked, and what look to be millions of refugees, and even hardships globally. The only “good” of dead Russian soldiers is the faint hope that Putin has some twinge of humanity left in him and will stop this madness. Because if one understands what I’ve called the great currents of history, there are now only 3 choices: Putin stops his attack (unlikely); or he is stopped and Russia as an aggressive power is ended (will take time and pain); or there is in the future a much greater war than any we have ever seen and quite possibly we lose civilization itself. There are multiple roads for that last choice, but all conclude similarly. Best guess is within 50 years, but it could be much sooner.

It’s no wonder Elon wants to try to get a few of us off this rock. I’m not sure he has the time.

If you think that the Russians are the innocent party you are either hard at work in St. Petersburg or you really have no clue. Why are the Russians invading another nation in the first place?
