strange question....
I am Russian and live in Russia.
Do you think we have a choice?
No one dragged them by the horns onto the battlefield.
If it happened, we have to see it through to the end.
Too many Nazis escaped to America in 1945, the U.S. of Argentina refused to extradite them to us. Later, these Nazis led NATO.
Today we must see it through to the end.
Why - do you feel sorry for them?
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 29285152 I know that you're obligated to support the SMO for fear of being imprisoned, but would you say your comments represent the average Russian attitude towards an expanded war in Ukraine?
Are you guys mentally committed to the effort?
Do you support your government?
I'm just genuinely interested. Don't answer in any way that could jeopardize your freedoms.
Our president clearly explained to us on February 24, 2022 - why the special operation began:
1. the genocide of the Russian population in Ukraine since 2014, the refusal of the UN to take action to stop it.
2. NATO encircling Russia, refusing to give written security guarantees. In the UN charter, Russia is the main threat.
3. NATO has been pumping weapons into Ukraine for 8 years, Zelensky was preparing to take over Crimea (he talked about this in all interviews in 2021, he created the Krma Platform with all Western countries involved).
We were left with no choice.
What are you accusing us of? That we saw the obvious things and did not allow us to strike first? Why do you take us for fools?
I am not asking you to support us. But why can't you even understand us?
If junkies came up to your house with guns, started surrounding it, threatened to take over your house - would you let them in? If you're not stupid or a coward - would you kill them before they got in?
Of course, 90% of the Russian population fully supports Putin and the special operation. We are grateful that he did not wait for the first strike like Stalin did.
It is a lie that Russians support Putin for fear of prison. That's what you like to think.
After the special operation began, even Putin's former opponents sided with him. Today, the people of Russia are united as never before since the collapse of the USSR.
Pray for Putin's health, if he is suddenly gone - one of us will take his place, and we are not as kind and adequate as he is.
The conflict in Ukraine was started by your government. And your government does not allow this conflict to end. Write to the White House, why are you asking me to end this war?
I haven't said anything new. You read it all every day on GLP.
What's stopping you from understanding?
