Frankly I dislike this comment. We all agree that Putin and the kleptochratic Russian regime needs to go away, but can we please not cheer on hundreds of thousands of young men going to be killed?

Not only are they human beings too (and given Russian conscription methods quite literally stuck between a rock and a hard place), but also mean Ukranian soldiers being further traumatised, both physically and mentally.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
