Of course they support it, they have a different mindset to us. Western society just takes comfort in the deluded thought that Russians are against the war and will ‘rise up’. Unfortunately of all the Russians I’ve met I can’t say I’ve ever been left with a great impression.

Russia uber alles, unfortunately.
Russia in not so distant history, spent over 500 years capturing an average of 50sqm of new territory per day through war. So to say war is not at this stage ingrained in Russian culture would be an understatement. So if you don't support this war of conquest you're not a "real Russian" and if Stalin was around all the ones who voted no in the poll would have been shot already

Added to that, the population has been groomed for decades to see Russia as a great power that will be welcomed in former USSR territories.

Oh, no doubt, I lived with a Chinese friend when in uni and it was crazy the level of brainwashing he had been exposed to growing up.
The Russian people are suffering, they don't need to fight to the last Russian, hand over territory now so Ukraine can have its rightful buffer zone and the drones will stop
Why won't Putin and his supporters think of the people; stop sponsoring the BRICS military industrial complex

I have a feeling the UK and France will be supporting Russian civil engineers really soon. After that the Dutch and Americans.
ruZZkies hate US so much, but always forget who sent them food. In 1990 George H.W. Bush sent chicken legs. Some of the ruZZkies decided to sell them to their own people to make a few roubles on side... such nice folk them are!
Here is a joke...
"The Bush legs tells to the Soviet chicken, 'Oh, you look so small, and you look so sickly! And look at me, I'm so healthy, and I'm so large, and so much bigger than you!' And then the Soviet chicken responds: 'But I died my own death.' "
They were starving in the 1920 as well... US was also helping...

Mom and daughter killed by a Russian missile strike on Kryvyi Rih today. RIP.Search and rescue operation in Kryvyi Rih is finished - head of National Police.6 people died and 75 wounded by the missile strike.
Incredibly sad. I would post the Tweet which is a lovely picture of them both. But in the comments are pictures that would break forum rules.
I guess Russia missed their "military" target, as per normal.
This is nothing short of mass killings of innocent civilians. It's as inhumane as it gets!

Not sure where you going. Charity and humanitarian aid has been necessary in many disaster/famine areas. Does that imply inferiority of people living there?
Hurt by ingratitude towards USA? Tricky question when US has been part of allied intervention in 1918, supporting civil war in Russia and indirectly causing famine in the first place.
USA is also the main beneficiary of USSR collapsing in 1991. Whatever the cost of that chicken, it has been paid thousandfold.
The main beneficiaries of the fall of the USSR was all the current billionaire cronies that stole and are still stealing from the Russian people today. Putin being the worst of the bunch as he also adds murder and persecution to his list of crimes against Russia.
yea he's a bit of a Russian stooge, I get the impression he wants to do business in Russia like Trump so doesn't want to **** them offProbably Musk himselfHasn't he already stated Ukraine should just surrender and cede all their territory to Putin?
Its not as if he has any allegiance to the West or Ukraine, he's basically South African so theres more chance of him supporting Russia than Ukraine
