  1. Ukrainians defending their land, wifes and children against an unprovoked and illegal aggression. They are fighting for the right cause and deserve the international support

    1. @Patriotz Finder I care about Russia because that’s where I come from. I can’t not care about the place where I spent my childhood, had my first crush, made some of my best friends. That’s why I write all these comments; I can’t stand to see my culture get spit on by people who only make their judgments of it based on the worst aspect of it: authoritarianism. Just like any culture, Russians have their goods and bads; right now, Russia is only showing the worst it has to the world. However, there isn’t a culture that doesn’t have blood on its hands, and demonizing all of Russian culture over everything that has happened in the last year is pure hypocrisy.

    1. @Itera But Steven Seagal still hold on to his US passport, Until he renounces his US citizenship no telling which side of his mouth he is speaking out of.

    2. @NeoGeo12 that can apply to any government, all governments have leaders and not all leaders are fair or merciful.

    1. @DAVID KAMEN That scenario is a subset of Americans in Russia with dual citizenship or American citizenship. And if it were me, I would not let anything stop me from getting out of that place.

    2. @Dzlyesful he can’t leave, he is a Russian citizen, what country is going to take him except for maybe Belarus ?

    1. Exactly.Germany was able to recover quickly after WW2 but Russia can not come close to the germans as far as productivity & innovation.All Russia has is Oil which wont be worth anything in a few years.I will give Putin credit for achieving everything he ever dreamed of in reverse & impeccable timing.

    2. Though there are a lot of intelligent Russian people , like one of the co-founders of Google who has been an American of Russian origin , some leave to other more prosperous and liberal countries as in North America , Australia and Europe …

    3. @Ultimate Music It all depend on the newly built regime after Putin .
      Though ranked behind its western fellow nations , Russia has also a lot of Gold , arable fertile lands , diamonds and so much more diamonds .
      If the nation turns into a liberal law-ruled nation , Russia can be highly innovative and advanced like some European nations . Everything is possible though …

    4. @Mike Chung Germany was able to rebuild because the Allies were using them as the Frontline against The Ussr. We had a vested interest in it. No one has a vested interest in rebuilding russia

    1. Look not everyone can be Gojo and have all its foes do whatever it takes to avoid conflict with them. You built different my dude.

    1. @Сталинский советский haven’t you had your papers yet? Don’t worry though because I’m sure you’ll get them soon.

  2. If I was a russian soldier (not a draftee) I would be horrified, having men in my proximity that a) don’t know how to operate a gun and b) who I cannot trust with my life, as they do not understand what being a soldier in war means. I’d be absolutely more scared of them, then the Ukranians.

  3. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his soul? Or what shall a man give in return for his soul? (Matt. 16:26). This man is willing to give 300,000 souls to gain a piece of land.

  4. “Remember to care for your people. A soldier’s empty belly won’t be satisfied with empty promises and hope” – Peter the Great, whom Putin is failing to emulate in every aspect.

  5. To those leaving Russia, I wish you a safe journey. To those who are staying, keep fighting. Not Ukraine, but your nation’s autocracy

    1. most militaries relied on that system. In times of war like a real war and not some mild skirmishing they always draft people. USA mostly did some IED hunting for the past 40 years. It never faced large amounts of artillery raining down on their homeland.

    2. @Generic Scout The US fully occupied several nations within months with a fraction of forces. Less than 5000 troops occupied Afghanistan and deposed the Taliban in a month from Kabul and most cities, Iraq was utterly dominate twice, piracy is failing globally just from patrol boats being sent all around, etc. The US is an exception to the rule of drafting in the 21st century. Any war requiring a large drafted force for the US is likely a nuclear war, meaning nobody wins and why have a drafted military anyways? The fact Russia had to draft people for this war shows they’re an inept state and failing fast.

    1. @JR Porter That very well may be true. How do you account for the Russian soldiers that have raped and tortured countless young girls and mother’s?

  6. “… the feeling of uncertainty our biggest fear…” said one Russian man on his reason for fleeing… Yeah, that’s how all Ukrainian people felt and still might feel about the situation. Isn’t it ironic both groups from either side feel the same way? Beyond shameful that one man has caused this much fear and devastation…

  7. I feel sorry for all those in Russia and Ukraine. They’re having their lives stolen and even forced to fight in a war they don’t want to be in, all because of one “man’s” ego.
