    These were human beings. They had hopes, dreams, hobbies, families. What a horrible, horrible waste of human life. Fuck war. All that bloodshed, for what? To stroke Putin’s ego? This is such bullshit.

    They died for nothing. Such senseless loss.

    To the goons running the show, that’s probably seen as a small number. From Wikipedia:

    Russia has an estimated population of 146.0 million as of 1 January 2025, down from 147.2 million recorded in the 2021 census. It is the most populous country in Europe, and the ninth-most populous country in the world.

      I’ve heard a lot of shitty justifications for Russia, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard outright denial if the war itself.

        Whenever I see a fresh account say such a troll thing I assume they have no clue how Lemmy works and they just want to get high engagement on their stuff. Responding to them instead of a single downvote just feeds their plans or attention seeking.
