You said it was very stupid for russians to wait so long before committing war crimes that are considered genocide. It's very clinical and ignorant to say that. It's admitting that the war is going not against "the regime", but against the nation - that is never a good idea and never helped in the history of similar conflicts.

Russia could withdraw a long time ago. Russia could just not invade the sovereign country to colonize it in the first place. So many useless deaths.

And targeting the civilian infrastructure is a war crime. And considered genocide.

No. The most active part of society is young men and women. And they're much more likely to join the Armed Forces than surrender (and later be raped, tortured, and killed by russian terrorists).

Do russians really believe that the terroristic assaults on civilian infrastructure will help? It has nearly zero military meaning. I would say the effect will probably be the opposite of what they want. It only increases the anger and number of volunteers willing to help the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

10% of russian economy reduction is HUGE, but not as bad as Ukrainians (heard ~30% number somewhere), which is literally physically destroyed day by day.

Hope the 5th December embargo and the price cap will hit really hard.
