 Fucking terrorist, Putin. Russia is a terrorist state.

“Russia launched 122 missiles and 36 drones against Ukrainian targets, officials said Friday, killing at least 18 civilians across the country in what an air force official said was the biggest aerial barrage of the 22-month war.”

“At least 86 people were injured and an unknown number were buried under rubble during the roughly 18-hour onslaught, Ukrainian officials said. Among the buildings reported to be damaged across Ukraine were a maternity hospital, apartment blocks and schools.”

 Indiscriminate missile attacks against civilian targets nowhere near the front lines. Disgusting and evil. 
 Same goes for many other Nation states.  You could argue the one that dont act like this is only because they have no incentive to currently. 
 Democracy is losing to dictatorship. Its just a matter of time already once the same happens in your city. If you are lucky enough, you die because of old before it happens. Most likely your kids won’t be that lucky 
 LOL hardly. The US should have allowed Ukraine to negotiate a peace settlement. Now Ukraine is smaller and the US is responsible for 500,000 dead Ukrainian men. 
 True, but sadly it's not just russia. This is evil of states in general. Russia is just one  from states which do it right now. Other states just want but can't. 
 This is not the way.
