Those are called "warning shots".
They actually deserve it
You understand that Russians are just people too, right? They aren't all a bunch of drooling savages who want to murder Ukrainians or anyone else. Not sure how you can say the Russian civilian population deserves to be punished for what their shitty government does. Have you applied that same logic to your own country and its people? Or is that just something you say about faraway places from the comfort of your own home?
Having been to both countries, and made friends in both countries, this whole war really hurts to see. I hate the Russian government, but the Russian people don't deserve this any more than the Ukrainian people deserve being invaded. I can't give an opinion on how strategically "necessary" this was in the eyes of Ukrainian military leadership, but it's sad all the same.

I know it doesn't look like much, but I promise you it was amazing.
My venting wasn't about Philippines. If you hate them that much, go complain somewhere else.
I was clearly defending the actions of the Philippines.
Back on topic, reading the other comments, it's looking more and more like a rival dictator got him done in. So this really ain't about courage, it looks more and more like getting rid of the competition.
The International Criminal Court does not operate on the orders of world leaders. So no, a rival dictator did not get an ICC warrant issued for Duterte. Maybe don't get your information from the comments section.
Do you think the Philippine police should go to Russia and Israel to arrest Putin and Netantahu?
I don't understand what your complaint here is. It's up to the individual countries to enforce ICC arrest warrants. The Philippines chose to enforce it. That's a good thing. If your complaint is that other countries don't enforce it, then you should take that up with those countries, instead of crapping all over the Philippines for doing what those other countries don't have the courage to do.
The more likely scenario is that Musk is straight up lying about anything tracing back to a Ukrainian IP address because he's manufacturing consent against Ukraine.
Dude. Reading package labels is the same for me. I end up having to take a picture with my phone, then zooming in.
I have my PC screen size zoomed in to 125%.
Getting old sucks.
