Uggh war... All these people had lives. They were kids once. They went to school, had friends, had relationships? They probably had siblings, younger or older who would be devastated by them dying like this. All these people could have lived long lives, if they hadn't supported their Tzar.
What is happening to these people is the very thing that is happening to the Ukrainians. What is all of this for? For the ego of one old man? The same guy who is going to pop off within a decade or so?
I really hope that we as humanity reach a stage where war becomes a distant memory rather than an ongoing event.
