“So there you have it. No one in Russia wants to be fighting in Ukraine”

No one or one man?:) LOL! And that if the story is true.

The interesting thing about any war is that a future outcome is not foreseeable. This nation did not foresee the outcome of Viet Nam, nor of Iraq nor of Afghanistan, nor of Libya and so many more. The outcome of the Ukraine / Russia conflict is also not certain in either direction, to my view.

What is certain is that Francois Hollande in Depardieu's France was driven out of office by events. Which of the European, American and Russian leaders will be standing in a year or two? Given the political fireworks in the German Bundestag only yesterday as Weidel of the AfD and Wagenknecht of dei Linke both raged against the current government, much is in flux.

What seems certain to me is that corruption -- Russian, Ukrainian, European and American (as surely the Biden administration shows) -- is at war with the average citizen there as here.

Cheering for one set of oligarchs in order to be against another set of oligarchs is not the better way to tomorrow. What tomorrow will be remains to be seen. Hopefully one in which all the oligrachs are toppled.

Their psychopathy, Machiavellianism, narcissism, pride and compulsive dishonesty will defeat them.

Contrary to the Russian propaganda, Putin's troops are the ones acting like Nazis. They think that they are terrorizing the opposition, when in fact, they are steeling determination to beat them. They don't think there will be any war trials after the war. They could be very wrong on that point.

Hey, vatnick!

Appears you failed bot basic, drunk again?

You may want to study the reductio ad absurdum fallacy and other fallacious arguments.
