So Russia rolls in with a msssive convoy of tanks and opens fire on civilians, firing medium range rockets into hospitals and other places of refuge, and you believe there would be Less Pain for the Ukranians if the US didn’t provide humanitarian and military aide?
You guys may be missing how low-key creepy this stuff is, and he’s just repeating the official Russian policy. First it’s subhuman Ukrainians who are incompetent pawns of the Jooo…Poles and the US, now it’s cities who are “diseased”. Ergo, cities and everyone in them (women, children included) are infected with the “anti-Russian disease” and have to be exterminated to cleanse the “disease”

I strongly reccommend looking at Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) / Twitter. She’s translating videos from Russian State TV, in which they absolutely revel in killing Ukrainian civilians and committing a mind-boggling array of war crimes.
A vassal kingdom - and they’re a vassal kingdom of Putin (not Russia, that’s a big difference) - is preparing for a succession war and potential breakup of the (Russian) Federation.
This has nothing to do with your simplistic masturbatory fantasies (cities in Western Ukraine bad, kill them all, cities in Eastern Ukraine good, kill only 90%)
