"Yes, if the plan was to destroy Russia" nailed it

@info781 Год назад

That was a classic.

@Ulvetann Год назад

100% Spot on. That will be the end result of this war. A Russia in ruins. -Not buildings on fire, but economical, agricultural, industrial, infrastructure like healthcare and education. Gone, simply gone. There will only be old people left. The younger ones are to drunk and infertile. Russia is becoming globally known as deceitful liars. Good luck drawing foreign investors back to kickstart Russia. The only thing Russia can be used for now, is to mine Russia barren for resources. -Convince me otherwise.

I can't tell if he actually believes it, or if he's simply saying exactly what the Russian totalitarian state apparatus has trained him to say. Obviously, if you're Putin, you want to hear your citizens say "I am merely a cog, I have no brain for thinking, no mouth for criticizing, only a heart that loves my Dear Leader and arms for shooting the enemies of my Dear Leader. I am glad to obey my orders to get killed for the good of the state, it's all I am good for." If there'd been a military officer nearby, he probably would have given that guy a medal.

it's not apathy mate. I can sympathise with them. It's so difficult to talk. They cannot even call it "war" or "invasion" openly, it is "special operation". we are talking about a regime where, for just reading a poem, a man was invaded in his home stripped naked, raped with an iron baton, then "confessed" on camera he was wrong, his girlfriend beaten and forced to watch the video of his BF physically and sexually assaulted naked on the floor. And then to top it off he was "drafted" for reserves.

@@umjackd Oh, quite a lot surely. Especially in Russia, there is a tradition of suppression of free speech, with tales of "purges", shootings and the Gulag being part of the lore handed down from generation to generation. I guess that mentioning the failing of the war isn't more popular with the FSB than an overall condemnation, so most of them took a risk here. I just wonder if it is just down to what they were asked - or if most Russians really don't give a damn if Russia attacks other countries as long as they are winning.

Its a Platonist way of thinking, or at least, Plato would've used the term, "Philosopher Kings" to describe people who have special authority to determine what is "right" for the rest of us. This way of thinking was challenged during the Age of Reason (1700's), but the Age of Reason never really spread to places like Russia (which is probably why Russia is so dominated by dictators, priests, kings, etc)
