Biden has reason to worry about getting approval. This worry goes beyond the visceral rejection of anything to do with Biden by ultra-right Republicans who never met a warplane they didn’t like. A CNN poll published Aug. 4 showed 55% of the respondents opposing more aid to Ukraine. Even more telling, about 80% of those polled believe the war will drag on indefinitely.

So what should Russia have done?

[-] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee -4 points 1 year ago

Something other than civilian kill lists, systematized rape, torture, pillage, and cultural extirpation. The way Russia conducts warfare is intolerable.

Do you have proof for any of those claims?

[-] ChrisLicht@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

They're pretty well documented in non-Russian media, with videos of torture rooms, interviews with torture and rape victims, medical examinations of related injuries, and mass graves with bodies showing clear evidence of torture.

I am a bit surprised that you are asking for proof, given the scale of the reporting.
