        Don’t care.

        They can still write and submit, they just can’t be maintainers, because every second there’s a single uninvited Russian in Ukraine, Russia should go fuck itself.

            And that’s unfortunate for them.

            The Russian state is still hurting other people, they get some of the backlash. C’est la vie.

            If there is 0 motivation to ‘rectify the issue with leadership’ then there is 0 accountability at all.

              What backlash do all Americans, all Palestinians, all Israelis, all Chinese, all French, and many more deserve?

                Don’t know, but if they want to avoid that backlash there’s literally 1 person they can remove to fix it.

                Or let me guess, Germans in 1945 didn’t deserve the cruelty they got from the red army either?

                  Good idea, I expect you hold the same standard for all Americans, French, Israelis, Chinese, and Palestinians too

                  Or let me guess, Germans in 1945 didn’t deserve the cruelty they got from the red army either?

                  You’re right, they didn’t. Shockingly, being cruel to civilians and conscripts isn’t cool. If “lashing out against oppressors” is okay then I’m sure you supported what happened in Rwanda? What about the Khmer Rouge killing foreigners?

      The US occupying 1/3 of Syria and Iraq for far longer is ok though.

        In comparison? Yeah.

        Russia, the dumb drunk fucks they are, even tried to rush our forces, because they were outnumbered 50:1 but apparently Russians can’t do math and don’t understand you don’t fuck with Americans unless you’re 5000:1, or at least don’t try to charge joint forces with a bunch of morons running across the desert.

        https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Khasham

        We also didn’t commit a proper genocide on them Ala the Holodomor.

        I guess it just sucks to be trash.

          Yep, the US is so powerful that is why Assad still in power and all regions with large population are kept away from US. Holodomor is highly disputed if is man-made. Specially when you consider Russia had a equally devastated famine at the very same time (Soviet famine of 1930–1933) and another a decade prior (Russian famine of 1921–1922). But of course, we only care about the mostly Ukraine affected one Holodomor one (1932-33) because it fits our anti-Russian agenda. As a rural guy, let me tell you, ironically, when famine strikes, the ones who suffer the most are farmers (a long story to explain here why)… Ukraine and parts of non industrialized Soviet Union all suffered famine and millions upon millions died, no distinctions if they spoke Russian or Ukrainian.

        …you only want Russia to stop genociding Ukraine if all other war stops? Until then you want the genocide to continue?

        You know what would be a great way to establish that standard?

        GETTING YOUR FUCKING ASSES THE FUCK OUT OF UKRAINE!!!

        And I’m only suggesting this because every day you don’t, will absolutely be a horrifying misery for every Russian, further destroying the fabric of the country and guaranteeing the aftermath will be less recoverable.
