No people deserve to be invaded. The warmongers deserve to have the war brought to their mansions.
There are people who deserve to live their lives in peace. And then there are people like Putin, who deserve to have their dick put in a blender. Rarely do these two match up.

Classic elementary school bully bullshit. Mercilessly pick on a kid until that kid punches them square in the nose. Then all of a sudden they (the bully) are the poor helpless victim. Cry me a fucking river.
As Russian military continues to purposely destroy supermarkets, homes, schools, hospitals, energy infrastructure, entire towns, etc.
I wonder how many "innocent" Russians know of any of that. Or that their soldiers kidnapped and raped women and children. Tortured and executed others. "Fake news" I'm sure they'd conveniently claim. Ignorance is bliss, until the bombs start dropping on their town.

Invansion? No. It's a special military operation. There is no invasion here.
I thought it was just some normal folks on vacation
The Kursk people's republic needs to be liberated.
Maybe they shouldn't have invaded Ukraine then.
Get fucked, Russia.
So, Russia, how does it feel when peaceful people get invaded?
This is massively embarrassing for Putin. Getting counter-invaded by your small, theoretically much weaker neighbour is a joke. And the Ukrainians have faced relatively little resistance. If Putin wasn't the evil bastard that he is, he'd call time on this pointless, wasteful war.
The concerning thing now is that he can use this Ukrainian incursion into Russia as justification for his claims that the west is trying to destroy Russia, even though he set off this chain of events with his actions.
That’s not concerning at all.
They’ve made up shit to justify everything up until now. They don’t need a justification to be made for them.
What’s Putin worried about? He’s sure the Ukrainian invasion will be over in only 3 days. /s

Seems like the 901st day of the 3-day special military operation isn’t going too well
The Russian babushkas who chatted in a friendly manner with the Ukrainian mobile cav passing by didn’t seem to take issue with anything, and they were left alone - as civilians should be in a conflict, to the greatest degree possible.
Not to mention, life in a Ukrainian oblast is probably going to be nicer than life in a Russian oblast, long term.
The babushkas have seen too much to be fazed.
Borders are for suckers, haha!!
...900 days later...
No, not like that!
Are those the same peaceful people that think that the Ukrainians should be exterminated? Yeah cry more Russia.
Aww did leopards eat your face?
No, sadly leopards are eating the proletariat faces, but they're his proletariat faces
I mean, he's right. It's not the people's fault he's a piece of shit and should get out of Ukraine.
It's not some people's fault. Like the ones blowing up Russian infrastructure.
Everyone else aren't fundamentallly different from Germans pretending they didn't know what was going on in the town's concentration camp.
Lol, stfu and get your shit out of Ukraine.
Shoulda considered that before intimidating the peaceful population of Ukraine. I have a friend who completely uprooted her life and career trajectory to manage humanitarian aid to her home country. The fact of the matter is peaceful Russians are want enables the Orkish horde. My view is that they've been kept in the dark about the truth of their reality. Their lack of concern is a result of not knowing what is and isn't real (and to many degrees us Americans live in the same situation with regard to our actions throughout west Asia). All Ukraine is doing right now is bringing truth to Kursk. I hope it doesn't turn into reprisals. From what I've seen, they're trying a winning hearts and minds strategy. But the bottom line is Russia initiated total war. They have no one to complain to about that there's a total war going on at their borders
Agh, figures that the Russian Volunteer Corps was apparently in on the action. It just never fails to boggle my mind that the majority of the anti-Russian militias that are fighting in Ukraine are so far right that they think Putin isn't fascist enough.
Like, yeah, it's great that they're fighting Russia, but holy fuck is it this hard to find people in Russia who aren't complete pieces of shit and are also willing to fight Putin?
Do Russians not have the fucking Internet anymore? If not, I know what Eve Online sov I'm invading.
Special military operation
FTFY
I agree. The peaceful people in Russia don't deserve to be invaded. Pity there's not many of them, though.
There is plenty, and the general sentiment is anti-war. It's just hugely unsafe to speak out publicly against the regime. In private, most people seem to agree that this is a bloody massacre nobody asked for.
Some of these users need to learn to separate a government from it's people. The Russian people don't really have a choice.
I don't understand the nuances well enough to know, but the thought control is still pretty strong in Russia. I do wonder if the populous will see this as the manifestation of what Putin has been saying all along, which is that the Ukraine means to bring violence to them and all efforts so far have been to keep this at bay. If so they will double down on their support for the dictator.
I often think about how much brain washing the Trump group has been able to do in the US even with free press and open access to the rest of the world. Imagine the power of the mind control one could achieve with an entire infrastructure built to support just that.
Putin is going to use this to the extremes. He's going to spur more enlistment, perhaps a full mobilization if he can spin enough outrage.

I wonder how a vote to join Ukraine in the occupied region would go.
People don't deserve to be invaded, but Putin sure does. Get fucked, Putin.

-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
