    Maybe this is what Russians get for giving Putin free reign for a quarter of a century.

    Don’t want to see anyone get hurt, but FFS the Russian people just went along with it when Putin came to power and steadily gained ever more control of the government. The Russian people could have stopped this 10, 15, 20 years ago but didn’t. Now they have an entrenched mad man in there who controls everything, has gotten them into a pointless war in Ukraine, and clearly shows no sign of stepping down.

    Attacks on Russian soil have only started.
