I can imagine the sole willingful responsible is not putin, so like some high 
officials, 
generals, etc. must be responsible as well (on the other hand, i have the 
hidden hope 
many russian militaries, both low and high in hierarchy, purposedly act less 
competent in 
order to save lifes).  But as I cannot know who is threatened by Putin or not 
(he perfectly 
looks like the type), I don’t judge, and limit to «Putin and the absence of 
democracy».

It is always «more complicated», but it doesn’t mean the stance has to be.

I know it’s kinda worse than here, but everytime I speak to ukrainians about 
it, it looks like 
it isn’t.  So I guess this must be more complicated than that, up to the point 
it’s not that 
relevant anymore.

but saying that is not sufficient when in contrast with the context you seem to

Because they are stupid, they also sponsored daesh to get rid of war with 
alqaida, alqaida, 
nazis and talibans to get rid of communists, etc. and each time it turned back 
against 
them.  «Why would they» is no proof, mere help to imagination of new 
hypothesis.  Keep in 
mind Hanlon’s razor.

All together with south america, whole europe and great parts of Asia.  Not 
forgetting 
almost no countries support the war, they mostly stay neutral or ignore the 
situation, for 
the rest.

Azov bataillion is one batailion.  It is a shame it has been officially 
tolerated and integrated, 
but in times of war of aggression even I wouldn’t be picky about support.  and 
a mere 
batailion is no excuse for attacking kyiv.  not for taking so many cities.  and 
certainly NOT 
for bombing.  Bombing necessarily is the risk of killing civilians (i have 
friends who had 
friends killed by a mere shockwave from a different building), and cannot be 
seen as a 
mere «attack under the bad guys», it is necessarily an indirect attack on a 
whole country.  
If you advocate to care for civilians, you never bomb inside cities.  If you 
advocate to spare 
innocent lives (for instance conscripted, internship or young soldiers) you 
don’t bomb 
places with any human around.

There have already been bombing and killed civilians, so you’d need a really 
really really 
obvious and enormous justification for that, and you have none.

Before the conflict I would say «right», since the rise of far right I would 
say «idk», since 
beginning of war I’m pretty sure they totally don’t care.

Actually I disagree. Freedom, such as democracy, best operates in continuous 
(but 
nonviolent) conflict.

None, and it is not hard to find people, even in US, opposing those wars of the 
US.

Btw it is already a sad and hard fact more russians have now been killed than 
over 5 years 
in syria, this is a good metrics they were lied to, and that ukrainians are not 
welcoming 
them.  it’s not only azov that did that.

that’s a normal consequence of bombing, if they didn’t want that they wouldn’t 
bomb

that’s why it’s so hard and painful

it is putin’s army who attack the ukrainians that putin told to attack, based 
on lies

but the question is always «is congo officially fighting back against uganda?».

also no consent has ever been asked to russians for this war, and most of 
russians are 
against it. that’s largely sufficient alone to be against it.
