@CIEIRMusic About the soldiers,you have a point there.I just pity those who were tricked into fighting against their neighbours who they do not hate and dying as a result of it.While there are more Russians who are more willing to surrender than continue the bloodshed,I still fear for them and their families who might have to deal with their unforgiving government.Still,I understand and respect your opinion.War is an awful business where the price has to be paid by the majority forced into a ‘kill or be killed’ situation.
Haha,it was a bad joke that I came up on the spot.Yeah,locking up and leaving a parasite to starve figuratively(and literally) seems the best way.
I hope those who are punished for standing up to their leader are comforted by the fact that they have the support of the world(or most of it) and keep up the good fight.
Same here and who knows,Russia might set itself straight and throw off that tyrant for good.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.You basically summarised everything I have felt towards this senseless war started by an insecure dictator.Personally,I don’t blame the soldiers(mostly) but rather,their vampire President Vlad who decided to threaten a country’s independence even when the world is still suffering from a virus situation.At least,it seems that the people of Russia are starting to do something about it given the rising number of anti war protestors being arrested.Good on them!I only hope that their voices and actions will continue to ring louder until their president finally wakes up from his fantasy and fix the mess that only he(and his little group of minions) wanted to start in the first place.The people of Ukraine along with Russia don’t deserve to suffer any further punishment for the actions of a madman.

With soldiers to me it's so-so, as individuals, some can question while others remain loyal to their brainwashing. As someone who's had family serve in wars in the past, I can sympathize with that. That being, said, because they are soldiers and under orders, even the ones that don't want to be their have to die if necessary. Mainly because even if they don't want to be there, they will kill if they have to if it means going home. In that context it's a case of who wants it more. I don't have anything against the ones that don't want to be there, but at the same time, due to the rules of war, I'd have to put that sympathy aside.
Regarding Putin. Calling him a vampire simply because of his name, while funny, is too good for him. Vlad The Impaler was a butcher and yet in comparison, he's morally higher than Putin. He's more like a parasite that does everything he can to keep his food supply going, by feeding off others. I don't think he's gonna wake up any time sooner, but I do think that if they can't kill him, they should lock him up somewhere where he can't hurt himself or anyone else anymore.
Regarding the citizens, I'm glad the threat of arrest and possible execution doesn't stop them from doing what's right.
I honestly hope this doesn't become a full scale war, but at the same time when it happens I hope they do some serious damage to the bastard.
