The poor russians invading and killing in name of an imperialist regime, sure
Do you think that the russian army is full of volunteers that read the same newspapers as you do? O.o
Would you cheer for US (an imperialist nation) troops being killed in Iraq/Vietnam/etc.?
Being coerced into it doesn't change what I said.
And about the second not necessarily cheer, but I approve of it.
My criticism was about being glib about it. You can view the war in Ukraine however you want. Joking about how many of the enemy troops should have been killed is dehumanizing both the soldiers and the joker.
Destroy all invaders is how you stop an invasion
And apparently, you should cheer for their deaths as well. Is celebrating their widows and left behind families in order, too? Or is that a bit too tactless? /s
FAFO
