There's the burning question of how can the international community make sure these war criminals, attacking civilians, are held accountable.
I mean, it was difficult enough with the Iraq War, while some were caught, it was because of investigative journalists risking their lives and having a country who has to punish these things - my guess is the vast majority went unpunished. It's been that way since the Boer War. How can the criminals be held accountable when they're all inside Russia? The only way is if the Putin government gets replaced by a more just regime put in place by the Russians themselves.
So, the west should support young Russians, while the Russian government loves to prop up pro-Russia nationalist young people to try and influence others. The vast majority of young people are anti-Putin or can be easily turned into such. Unfortunately, many are being brainwashed right now in the same way we've seen nationalistic brainwashing in the west, except much worse... Putin is uses the same firehose of falsehoods tactic used by Western nationalist demagogues, but he's actually used it for longer, he basically wrote the modern edition of the book on it - the same thing used by Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s. Just keep spitting out falsehoods, and the news keeps reporting them, and the debunkers can't work fast enough to debunk them because by the time they do another falsehood or two, or twenty, is already in the headlines and these pick up the credulous and gullible like a rotting dead animal covered in feces picks up flies and maggots.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
