You’re talking to a guy whose instance is @communick.news. Somehow, I don’t think you’re going to get anything resembling the answer you’re hoping for.
Lemmy is full of tankies who love to defend Russian and Chinese imperialism by pretending it either doesn’t exist or by following the abuser’s handguide of claiming “you (the west) made me (Russia) have to do it.”
If you aren’t a tankie, I apologize for initially mislabeling you.
A lot of tankies come from communism-focused Lemmy instances like Lemmygrad. My assumption was that the “Commun” in “Communick” was for communism, which would have checked out if you were a tankie.
Yes, I am.
But he didn’t start the war by directly targeting and killing Zelenskyy.
Which would have been analogous to his comment about killing Khamehni.
the tldr is Russia invaded Ukraine, they were planning to take the place over in 3 days, they were obviously not planning on shaking hands with Zelensky, they would have killed him and likely put in a puppet government
Yah, that’s how typical illegal wars are conducted. Fight your way to the leader, then kill the leader, ending the war.
That’s very different than tracking the leader for weeks before, and throwing one of the first missiles at his head. It’s like using an assassination to kick off your war.
you’re aware putin invaded ukraine and is in violation of international law every day for the last 4 years?

Not a tankie, just very literal and pedantic. But how does Communick indicate anything?

Only because the bumbling idiots they sent to do the job got caught.
Yep, really hope we get a proper movie out of this one day

They sent riot police in with the Vanguard, really thought they’d get it over and done with in 3 days eh…
Saving this for later, but isn’t this the airport that Russia air assaulted like 7 times and the dudes just kept getting mulched?
I believe so, yes. They lost a lot of their really top guys in the early days of the war on Hail Mary operations like that.
Think so! They were just going to pop in and be greeted like heroes!
Small miscalculation by all of Putin’s yes men
What?
Which bumbling idiots? Who sent? To do what job?
Why are you pretending to be stupid?
No. I genuinely don’t know what they’re talking about.

They’re both terrible. But different.
Well Putin tried multiple times to assassinate Zelensky but failed, so it’s not really THAT different

The main difference is that Putin and Russia suck
