From an article on Sky News:
>It is not clear if his reference to "all victims" means just Ukrainians, or Russians as well.
I don't want to be cynical but this could be donated to "victims" in Russia. The Aggressor. Also the elephant in the room is why does he have 30 days to sell assets before sanctions. It should be frozen immediately.
- parthdesai 5y agoA common person in Russia isn't the aggressor. That's like blaming entire western population for the shit their government does. Russian ruble has tanked significantly, which means things in Russia are gonna cost way more for an average person.
- mcfedr 5y agoWho else to blame? The Russian people allows this man to be their leader
- unmole 5y agoReminds of Osama bin Laden's Letter to America: > The American people are the ones who pay the taxes which fund the planes that bomb us in Afghanistan, the tanks that strike and destroy our homes in Palestine, the armies which occupy our lands in the Arabian Gulf, and the fleets which ensure the blockade of Iraq. These tax dollars are given to Israel for it to continue to attack us and penetrate our lands. So the American people are the ones who fund the attacks against us, and they are the ones who oversee the expenditure of these monies in the way they wish, through their elected candidates. Blaming ordinary people of Russian for the actions of the Putin regime is the same. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/nov/24/theobserver https://www.theguardian.com/world/2002/nov/24/theobserver
- ignoramous 5y agoTrue: One man's terrorism is another man's war on terror. As a matter of fact, this kind of self-referentialness is why political debates go to shit.
- parthdesai 5y agoSo all Americans are to be blamed for Iraq, Libya et all right. Add in UK as well for good measure. Heck majority of Americans wanted Hilary to be president in 2016 after she voted for a war that was based on a lie. Look where Iraq is right now as a country.
- s_dev 5y agoNo, but Americans did have to the face the consequences of the war including paying for it. Likewise ordinary Russians will pay for this war.
