Also almost everybody in Ukraine hates russians now, it’s not racist or something, it’s more about what this nation is really about and their people, everybody in this country is just a coward even the russians who don’t support war, mainly because they don’t really do protests. Just compare russian protests against the government(they just last for maximum 20mins) and ukrainian ones, just remember Euromaidan.

Well to be fair to the Russians if you just stand on the street corner with a blank sign they will come and cart you off to prison . Also the Russian prisons are horrendous and you wouldn’t want to be thrown in one .

that’s why i’m saying to remember Euromaidan, there was a war between civilians and special forces. That’s how you fight for a freedom in country

Until recently The average Russian had little reason to take up arms against their own state since they aren’t the ones currently being trampled on … that may change with the draft but it appears the most motivated are simply going “peace out” ✌️ .

I wouldn’t want to fight the Russian state either , I’d just dip . Not my problem anymore .

There is also the historic and cultural disdain the Russians have for the Ukrainians. They even have a bigoted term for them. In the average russians mind it is unthinkable to lose to Ukraine. It's an old trick. Dehumanize the enemy and your soldiers are capable of anything.

Even if it was a Ukrainian that did the job I would still expect the nukes to fly.

This would need Russian fingerprints or none at all.
