I’m not even Russian and I’m offended. Most of these people who died likely didn’t even want to fight, but we’re drafted anyway. Blame the oligarchy, not the people who were forced to participate.

Had my father been drafted for 'nam his plan was to use his rifle to kill as many officers as possible before himself, rather than fight for the US in that war. I had the same plan in the unlikely event I was drafted for something, too
Maybe the Russians could have a backbone like that, yeah? They’re being given tools of war and willingly go off to die without a fight? Actually pathetic, and not worth sympathy
the Russian law prohibits using drafted conscripts in a war like this. While that law is largely ignored, it goes have the effect that the Russia hires soldiers mainly through giving them an enormous salary:
In rural areas a factory worker might get a monthly salary of around 70 € per month. As a soldier you get 2000 € per month, which is about 70 € per day!
That also means, the soldiers are in it because they have decided they want to do they in order to give a less poor life for their family. Killing others’ children in order to feed theirs better.
A very small fraction of the soldiers you see die have come to the front against their will.
A lot of Americans support Trump or have no willingness to do anything about his facism.
A lot of Germans support Afd.
A lot of french support le pen.
A lot of British folks support reform and Tommy robinson.
So, do all the people from these countries also not deserve any sympathy? You know the ones who can’t do anything about who rules over them? Because they are too busy bogged down in trying to make a living?
Do nothing
How do you expect the regular russian to rise up against putin when they can barely can provide anything for their family? But also, When their only source of truth has been the state media, ofcourse it’s brainwashing.
Americans are not doing anything about the horrific things trump is doing and is that okay? Should we start calling Americans burger pigs and paint them all as racist caricatures of fat blonde pigs?
…
At least don’t dehumanise the Russians. There are plenty who hate what’s happening and have died to free their country.
-900k orcs HAHA, should be more

Therefore: Roaches, not orcs.
There is no place for sympathy to Russians, most of them support Putin. They aren’t brainwashed and most are aware of the situation and do nothing.
A lot of Americans support Trump or have no willingness to do anything about his facism.
A lot of Germans support Afd.
A lot of french support le pen.
