Rules:
- The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
- Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
- If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
- Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
- For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
- Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal. Within moderator discretion, this doesn't just include reposts of the exact same media but also includes e.g. a secondary source telling basically the exact same story as another that was already posted.
- This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.

Because a large amount of people don't see Russians as civilians 😭.
But honestly how does anyone cheer for causing chemical disasters in any city
Russia started a war of aggression. A lot of Russians support the war. These civilians live and work in a refinery town that supports the Russian war machine (with oil and gas products).
The people who work in weapons manufacturing are also civilians even though they are definitely legitimate targets by the laws of war (while at work, anyway).
Collateral damage from the destruction of legitimate targets is a murkier issue, but generally considered acceptable as long as it’s not deliberately exacerbated.
But you have no idea if these particular Russians support the war.
You could read the article, you know:
Right, but they do support Putin (overwhelmingly so). The whole “leopards eating faces” thing applies just as much to them as it does to MAGA people.
Again, you have no idea if that's the case with these specific people. You have no idea if they're the Russian equivalent of MAGA.
Putin’s support is much higher than MAGA could ever dream of. Something like 80%. Plus the people who don’t support Putin don’t actually support the opposition, they’re just politically indifferent and disengaged. That’s consent for the status quo in any country.
Which gets back to people being okay with them (civilians) getting killed and not at all leopards eating face worthy.
They support Putin. They support Russian imperialism. They have for a long time. Enough said!
So it's okay to kill civilians. Got it!
Nice framing, fsb bot, іді нахуй! Them regular citizens of different ethnicities, merged by brutal force to become part of this artificially created concentration camp state out there haven't seen any signs of civilisation for centuries and, therefore, they've never used to have a real civilian experience and were constantly treated like a livestock by some militarists. Hopefully, burning oil refineries of gas station country will warm up their frozen hearts and constant internet blackouts will guide them to demolition of kremlin and uncovering interesting shit in fsb archives, which will help them to acknowledge in what a deep shit those chekist nazi-commies dragged world into and how much conflicts, mass murders, ecological disasters and other shit (including dtrump and chinazis) happened mainly because of their activity and unawareness or negligence of those facts by regular people (attention diverting is also a product of their activity). Probably people will have no mercy on fsb for all the shit they've caused and will just execute them on spot. Cheers, fuckers
