Reply to comment by VolkspanzerIsME in European champion in swimming died in battles near Kherson by KindArgument0

I’m ukrainian and unfortunately not a lot of russians really want to get rid of Putin, I think it’s like maximum 20%, others are just saying that we are bombing ourselves. Only if u saw a comments under a posts of propaganda journalist about todays bombing, these people were HAPPY and PROUD that Putin did it, it’s just funny and disgusting at the same time, really.

Once again that could just be the Russian cyber division writing a bunch of propaganda. The mass exodus of hundreds of thousands of Russian Military aged males seems to illustrate that they do understand that there’s a military conflict going on and that they want no part of it.

What can they do ? Do you expect them to call up their local duma representative and tell them to vote against the war ?

They can do nothing except keep their heads down and try to survive as they’ve been doing for generations now .

they can go out on protest, but not like a peaceful one which they are doing, but a serious one. If you have seen a videos from there you can see that the russians are just making a videos of how police taking people with them, and do absolutely nothing, that’s not how it works

Protest = prison or death .

It’s just not gonna happen my dude . Not like protesting would even do anything anyways . They would essentially have to revolt .

If you had nuclear weapons and could wipe out their major population centers they might be more concerned because then they would have skin in the game .

I am unfortunately aware of the average Russians opinion on the war. That's what worries me. I fully expect Putin to go "scorched earth" rather than lose face by admitting any level of defeat. I am also aware of the Russians cultural and historic denigration of Ukrainians. Russians losing to Ukrainians is unthinkable for a large percentage of the population.

Putin is "all in" at this point. There is no future in which he capitulates and retains power. So he's going to escalate and escalate until he can't or he's dead.

yeah, almost every russian believes that they are “Top 2 army in the world” and even think that their vehicles are better than USAs so really serious loses on front will destroy reputation of putin
