I think he miscalculated the degree of cruelty he’ll experience. Also his move itself could be the trigger as if this cruelty would nit be there, then he would have been a hero winning, not a hero losing. Steps “had to be made”, sadly.
- Darmody 3y agoI don't know... they tried to kill him and they killed people before for less. Knowing some Russian and Soviet history it's pretty clear what mentality you're fighting.
- ftl64 3y agoWhat has allowed the Russian state to treat him with such a degree of cruelty is the war with Ukraine. News of his arrest, imprisonment, and treatment in jail were overshadowed by those of another airstrike on a civilian population. Not to mention, it sent a clear message to internal opposition that those willing to act against the state would face not just legal hurdles but also tyranny and physical violence.

- jnsaff2 3y agoThere are plenty of photos of russians bombing civilians, hospitals, Mariupol drama theater had "children" written in letters so big that they can be seen from space. Still bombed. Just few weeks ago a funeral was hit with a rocket, 50+ civilians dead. Let alone the constant attacks on civilian power and port infrastructure trying to freeze and famine not only Ukraine. This is just a completely ignorant take that the Israelis are somehow worse than russians.
- walteweiss 3y agoWhy do you write Israeli, when it was Gaza’s who bombed their hospital themselves. Like other autocracies tend to do to their citizens, by not valuing their lives.
- jnsaff2 3y agoIt was pretty clear from the context that the person I replied to was referring to israeli air strikes against Gaza. I have no doubt hamas is a terrorist organization who don't give a crap about any civilians, be it Gazans or not.
- walteweiss 3y agoSorry, didn’t get that. Thanks for the clarification, I reread the comment you’ve replied to and it’s now clear them trying to whitewash terrorists (Russia and Hamas), while blaming the victims.
- thriftwy 3y agoBombed with what? With a rocket made of water pipe and ammonia fertilizer? Obviously it would not do that kind of damage. We've seen impacts of stuff Hamas has and it can't do that. The angle from which Israel doing this damage control reciprocity blaming is laughable.
- hdjjhhvvhga 3y agoI don't know who bombed the hospital in this case. But in the past Hamas showed very clearly they don't value the lives of their people at all and they used women and children as living shield on numerous occasions.
- thriftwy 3y agoI'm just saying exactly that - anybody may now take two sets of photos and compare the amount of rampage over the time period to approximate the "DPS" done to civilian infrastructure. Of course, I cannot prevent that person from being in denial due to cognitive dissonance.
- mensetmanusman 3y agoThe conflict of the week has not resulted in more war crimes than the 600 day - week long special operation.
- zirgs 3y agoNeither side has air superiority in Ukraine. Israel can do what they're doing, because their enemy has no air defence whatsoever.
