Where they, though? People drafted and sent to the front generally have few options. I get that people dying is what happens in war but casting all individual soldiers of one side as “bad”, of the other as “good” just serves to dehumanise people and excuse atrocities.
This was a legitimate military target, but I don’t think anyone should cheer about a hundred dead people.
Of course we should. Russians elected their leaders, followed and cheered them for decades and supported most of their decisions including this war. Don’t get fooled into thinking Russians are just poor, innocent people send to war by their mad leader. It’s an underdeveloped, sick country that uses violence and terror to get what they want. They got what they deserved.
You take away their ability to harm others. In this case you destroy their ability to wage wars. You sanction the shit out of them so that they don’t have enough money to arm themselves and you destroy whatever military they have now. No one is proposing extermination, they just have to become harmless. When they are civilized enough to re-join the international community they are welcomed to do so.
Oh my god, I get that they would’ve later perpetrated death and fear to innocents…
Why am I internally “cheering” for 100 dead people.
Fuck this shit
Because they were bad people.

Demonising a whole people like this is in itself wrong.
What is your supposed solution, then? How does one deal with tens of millions of people who are supposedly evil and wrong?
This is the paradox of tolerance in action.
I’m sorry, but the sooner you understand this the better; death is a natural part of life, and life does not always have intrinsic value.

Hundreds of people die every day for far stupider and much less fair reasons, like pedestrians murdered by car drivers.
Ill cheer externally for 100 dead American soldiers if it makes you feel better.
Thugs serving a pedophile tyrant deserve no sympathy.
