      Dude Putin’s the moderate. You realise how much worse shit would get if the hardliners were in charge right? Ukraine could look like Gaza but the thing preventing that is literally that Russia is being soft-handed because they’re sincerely avoiding civilians where possible, unlike the Israelis.

      They don’t have to do that. They could follow the same kind of doctrine you see Israel and the US carry out. They could fucking bomb the fucking shit out of it. This would be a very very bad thing and you shouldn’t wish for the circumstances that would lead to it.

      That’s completely setting aside the fact that the war isn’t happening just because some bad dude just feels like doing it.

      Why would you want that? Putin stopped Ukraine’s genocide in its eastern provinces and Putin led the political coalition that reined in the western pillaging of Russia (the same pillaging they did to all of Eastern Europe) that was so severe it was causing life expectancies to fall. Shouldn’t an anarchist support people’s freedom to not have their life expectancy dictated by NATO imperialists?

      Yes, we totally saw with Iran how decapitation strikes are incredibly successful in changing history and bringing “Democracy™” to the region.

      Ukraine is mostly attacking civilian infrastructure with said drones BTW, they explicitly say they target oil and gas infrastructure to affect state revenue.
