@Gehtso wait, I'm fully in for the self defense of Ukraine to push back the occupation, and I understand that this also includes crippling military logistics inside Russia, but just to be clear, we aren't actually suggesting invading Moscow... right? No one in Russia voted for Putin or this mess Putin is causing, afaik.

@wallabra

No, no one in their right mind is planning to invade Russia. It is quite sufficient to drive the war criminals out of Ukraine and thus inflict a heavy military defeat on them and ruin them economically to such an extent that a continuation of the war of aggression is no longer possible for a longer period of time

@Gehtso I agree. I really wish the people in Russia had a way to depose Putin, they too suffer at his hands.
