Well I only speak for myself but I don't care for Putin personally. I think it's a shame he's the head of state, I really wish he wasn't the favored successor of the guy the US helped install at the head of the new state after the USSR started to fold. That entire era was a massive human rights tragedy, I think we agree.

I think what is irritating to a lot of people who aren't pro-Ukraine is that the entire world knew there was a fascism problem before the war. Now we're expected to support them like they're noble underdogs, because the government wants to do things western governments approve of.

I don't think it's good to round up young men and force them to die in a war they don't want to participate in. I have no control over Putin but a bunch of my labor value is being used, against my will, to turn a bunch of people into corpses.
