[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The convoy is not faring well. I feel sadness seeing so many lives shuttered for nothing.

I feel sad for the loss of life, but let’s be real.  The people driving these tanks and trucks don’t give a shit about Ukrainian lives - especially not civilian.  They are on their way to shell a major city of millions - which can only be done indiscriminately w/ great loss of civilian life and destruction of civilian infrastructure. They are not in their own country.  They know that they are in a country which, militarily, has not attacked Russia (not even for 8 years after Russia first attacked Crimea and Donbas.)

In that sense, I have zero sympathy.  Every one of these Russian soldiers knew at some point before this tank convoy got hit, what they were in Ukraine to do.  Every soldier has a duty to disobey illegal orders. Many other Russian soldiers have either surrendered, or waked away from their weapons.  [/quote]

And that's one of the problems.  The run of the mill soldier is now completely complicit.  They have now committed war crimes.  They have to justify their actions to stay sane and pretend that they didn't.  Their families have to believe the propaganda because if they dont then the realization hits that their loved ones are evil.  This is where and how the window for internal change closes.[/quote]
