    i’m not sure whether it’s relevant in this context but i remember reading that it’s mostly the russian oligarchs who pushed for this war. putin, among all them, is the most cool-headed one

    i’m not saying that to defend them or anything, but i think that the thought that “if we get rid of putin, things will improve” is a very ill-advised take.

      I never said getting rid of Putin would change anything…The unique conditions that Russian citizens have lived under for years upon years, would enable anyone to replace Putin and be just as shit as him. If that person sucked a little less, and life improved a tiny bit. Nobody would care, it would be business as usual. I wouldn’t be surprised that Russian Oligarchs might have had some influence, as the rich always benefit from a terrible war.
