Um, obviously, @ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net meant that as the aggressor, Russia’s bringing it on themselves and could choose to stop the war at any time, so it’s not Ukraine’s problem. Why does that need to be spelled out?

Let’s put it this way: if the civilian victims of this attack are therefore influenced to also join Ukraine in telling the Russian tyrants to, “Dude, just stop attacking Ukraine already; we’re getting f@#$ed up here,” then that’s even good. Put on the pressure. Pull out all the stops. End it faster. Get everyone against the Russian gov, even if some deep collateral pain may be initially needed.
