I don't know, I just can't bring myself to celebrate the death of even "enemies". These soldiers are just unwordly young men from the hinterlands. They come from poverty and joined for the pay to help their families. What a tragedy, hundreds of thousands dead and maimed on both sides.

No, Russia should not have invaded but the West and NATO don't have clean hands either, let's be real.

"If only this all could have been avoided" is the point we will all get to eventually imo. War is never the answer.
