That's like saying only Hitler was bad in Nazi Germany. And before the whole "NoT EvErY RuSsIaN" argument comes up: silence is compliance! The Russians who are truly against what their country is doing already left in 2022, before the mobilization. Everyone else who is not actively fighting their regime is complicit.
There's a middle point between "the dictator is the only bad guy" and "literally every person on a country the size of a continent is the bad guy"
Yes, see my last sentence.
You can't expect every single person that didn't left Russia to want ukrainians to be murdered and tortured. People there are poor, their entire life is there, their country makes everything to prevent them from escaping and other countries are wary in their regard. You can't make it that simple
Yes, I very much can, because I know what it means if we are compliant with genocidal war mongering terror regimes and where that leads to.
