    They suffer if they revolt too.

    Judging by your name, you’re an Aussie and I’ve got to say, disappointed in your complete writing off of the entire Russian population. How the fuck is some young girl working at Lush supporting Putin or deserving of suffering if they don’t revolt?

      Her taxes directly support the war. It’s not as easy as people are good and bad. Good people can be in bad situations. Sanctions are supposed to hurt all people. That’s how they work. It’s seen as a lesser evil, rather than a good. They are damaging for both sides.

      Because they are enabling the Russian state to exist and it’s committing genocide?

      Who else’s responsibility is it to keep your leaders in check? Please tell me. Is it America? Do they have to come over and topple another foreign government? No, it’s the fucking Russian people’s duty.

      Does Germany get a free pass for blindly following Hitler? Oh those poor Germans, the SS would’ve killed them if the entire nation didn’t sit back and do nothing except work in its factories and shoot its armies weapons.

      Give me a fucking break with the sympathy card.
