Ukraine isn't a utopia and corruption is well-documented. But the citizens don't deserve this kind of treatment by Putin. [bleep] Biden. [bleep] Putin. And [bleep] anybody that supports either one of them.


Many argue that Putin is trying to save Ukraine. They cite his slow and measured advance and his not destroying critical infrastructure as evidence and that he intends to swaddle the inflamed Ukraine.

And those people making such arguments are useful idiots who are the product of Russian propaganda. I'm sure threatening to NUKE Finland and Sweden is also to "save" them. Putin doesn't want to destroy all infrastructure because he can't afford (financially or politically) to replace it when he accomplishes his ultimate goal of governing, by direct rule or by proxy, the country.
