Yes, after Grozny and Aleppo, anyone saying Russians are trying to limit destruction is deluded or a shill. Russian military strategy has been to force surrender through causing as much civilian death as possible for a while now.
Based on his speeches, both before invasion and the leaked one that was supposed to go out after a win, Putins objective is genocide. "The Ukrainian question", dude is literally quoting Hitler.
- platinumrad 5y agoThere is a huge difference between what people are willing to do to racial and cultural others v.s. what they are willing to do to people who look, speak, and live more or less just like them. Yes, Russia was extremely brutal in Chechnya and in Syria. But consider how brutal the US was in Iraq, and consider how we would operate in a hypothetical war against Canada.
- phicoh 5y agoThere is not much difference bwtween people from Germany, France and the UK, yet, World War I was one of the most horrible wars in history. A few decades later, there still was not much difference between people from the UK and Germany yet the bombings of the German cities by the allied forces were some of the horrible in history. Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_War_II https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bombing_of_Dresden_in_World_Wa... for one of the full horror stories.
