Comment on Linus Torvalds affirms expulsion of Russian maintainers
InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 days agoI’m sorry, Russia celebrates their cruelty to civilians on a yearly basis.
They were cruel to civilians for sport: …m.wikipedia.org/…/Hungarian_Revolution_of_1956
…m.wikipedia.org/…/Battle_of_Grozny_(1999–2000)
Maybe Obviously this is the only language Russians understand to teach them to stop.

Russians are not the Russian state, I’m well aware of what Russian(and don’t forget other Eastern Bloc militaries did at the time). My relatives were arrested for protesting in the Prague Spring. Actually, one of those relatives runs an organization for political prisoners. This kind of reciprocal cruelty will just make it more common. Just look at the Yugoslav wars, or the eastern front in WW2 if you don’t believe me. Or every war that’s happened in the middle east or south east asia for the past 50 years. Actually a lot of soviet oppression of the western republics (Ukraine, Causes, etc) was justified based on the cruelties nationalists did from those countries while fighting on the side of the Germans in WW2. This nationalist/xenophobic “revenge” on civilians is evil. (And rests on the same premise as was used to justify 9/11, collective guilt)

If the cruelty had stopped, I would agree revenge is inappropriate.
So I’ll stop wishing for, the painful death of Russians, and even donating to buy drones to kill Russian soldiers and wish for the best outcome for all Russian people.
5 seconds after they leave Ukraine.
They have to learn a lesson, and unfortunately Russians only speak the language of blood. Proof cited: the invasion of Ukraine.

Has the cruelty done by the US, France, Palestine(under Hamas), and Israel stopped?
