During WW2 the Bund was defeated. But they were right.

The dynamic they identified is playing out in blood before our eyes.

Solidarity across difference? Or savagery. We choose.

A quotation from Terry Pratchett

You have the effrontery to be squeamish, it thought at him. But we were dragons. We were supposed to be cruel, cunning, heartless, and terrible. But this much I can tell you, you ape — the great face pressed even closer, so that Wonse was staring into the pitiless depths of his eyes — we never burned and tortured and ripped one another apart and called it morality.

Terry Pratchett (1948-2015) English author
Discworld No. 8, Guards! Guards! (1989)

“the God-idea must go with other relics of the Fear born of Ignorance into the limbo of savagery. … we cannot allow people who believe in this ‘God;’ they are troglodytes, as dangerous to society as any other thieves and murderers. The Christians to the Lions!”

They'll likely face torture, be robbed, and all other core elements of Russian culture

I'm sorry to say it, but when I come here and actually read some of the news about the wars I get horrified. I feel that war is just a cover word for murder.
