Of course you can kill Russian criminals who have illegally entered Ukraine. You don't need to ask nicely for them to stop or give them a chance to leave. This is a war, with a large scale invasion. There is absolutely nothing wrong with just killing them. And doing so will in the long run save Ukrainian lives, as the people evil enough to take part in this invasion will probably come back in a future invasion. Better to kill them now if possible.

It is absurd how you keep trying to impose conditions on Ukraine taking their country back from a genocidal invasion, protecting deeply evil people in the process.

If we were talking about a few hundred people it'd be a different discussion. But this is a massive invasion that will be very difficult to reverse. It's totally ok in the extraordinary circumstances of war to ignore usual legal principals of due process to get the job done. Giving ~1 million Russians full trials would bankrupt any county.

And again, this gets back to my original point: right now tens of millions of Russians are meaningfully contributing to their genocidal war against Ukraine. These people are criminals. In the circumstances of war, with the numbers involved, it is impossible to adhere to normal standards of legal processes and bring each to justice. But it is feasible to stop the war by killing them.

Every working Russian is a valid military target, and as is always true in war, collateral damage is acceptable. It would, for example, be perfectly justified and ethical to use nuclear weapons to wipe out Russian cities to put an end to this war and future Russian aggression. It doesn't matter how many die in the process: the working Russian population are all valid military targets. If they want to live, the onus is on them to either leave Russia, or stop the war.

Right now Ukraine is being coerced into not taking effective measures to end the war that it could due to absurd humanitarian concerns. Ukrainians are being forced to give up their lives for the sake of Russian criminals. It is absurd that the lights are on in Moscow right now – Ukraine could have taken out the Russian electricity grid. But they haven't been allowed to. Sure, many Russians would die in the process. But that's absolutely fine.

First time i do not agree with your opinions Todd.

Most of the time, i agree with your opinions on that conflict since im kinda close to it. But actully these takes you take right now are kinda too much for me. Deffo you will be smarter then me, also i respect you because your work for bitcoin community is crazy and i could never do it with my knowledge. But at the same time this takes are too much...

It is different to defend against the hordes that were earlier in history than to defend against the soldiers that just had to go.

Ukrainians know this and that's why not every soldier who enters their territory with a weapon in his hand is killed. I'd love to see you if you suddenly found yourself in "armed forces training" bcs you want to protect you family and than general told you, now there will be an attack, anyone who doesn't go forward will be shot. Simple as that... So what would you do?

Well, if you're not crazy you'd surrender in Ukraine and try to remotely help your family, but if you're crazy you'd go kill and steal in Ukraine and then get killed bcs Ukraine is not gonna lose.

It's simple, but for a lot of guys, desertion was the only option. Luckily the Ukrainians don't see it the way you do, because then the Legion of Freedom to Russia and so on probably wouldn't have come into being, because they wouldn't have had the opportunity to come into being..You know, these legions are from deserted Russians.

I'd like to know what you would do if this was happening in your country. Respect to all the Russians who are not afraid to stand up to the usurper, but again, let's remember that a normal citizen, influenced by history, will not be interested in what his usurper is doing until he finds himself in that war or his son dies there.

On the other hand, instead of killing Russians who don't kill anybody, we should convince Russians to kill this MF, this way what we doing, we are just creating another generation that won't like the west because we killed their dad for example. War has no winners, but let's be people at least please, not animals.
