Goddamit. Got me.
Wrong, it was to draw attention of Americans. Otherwise they wouldn't read it.
So, searching through Russian news, I found like 1 mention of any casualties in 10 successful oil industry strikes.
So that's just mostly peaceful civilian oil bases getting hit, that supply peaceful oil to peaceful refineries that then supply peaceful gas to peaceful Russian war logistics and other parts of their peaceful war machine.
You're just holding Ukraine by much higher standards. While Russia deliberately kills civilians and then says "US made us do it", so it's okay. And Ukraine trying to carefully disarm the aggressor can also be labeled just as bad as aggression itself and blamed on US.
Man, your worldview is so warped it hurts. And worst of all - you've tried to tell a Ukrainian that we should just "get over that" while Russia continues to do terroristic acts just for the sake of doing them.
Did you read these articles yourself?

The main targets have been the military, the arms industry and the oil industry.

In January 2024, Putin again made statements which suggested, according to the Institute for the Study of War, that his "maximalist objectives in Ukraine" remained unchanged, "which are tantamount to full Ukrainian and Western surrender". He again called for the overthrow of the Ukrainian government.
It's not that I didn't know any of these, it's just that you just provided sources that debunk your own arguments.
Just few weeks ago Putin said in a speech (rough translation):
Russia is where Russian soldiers foot stepped.
Which is like, one of most fascist things I've ever heard. I'll even provide Russian source:
Not to mention Russian denial of the very existence of Ukrainian identity and statehood, which he also did in that same speech.
Man, just read these sources, because you're repeating Taco Don's rhetoric about "kids fighting in a sandbox".
Can you elaborate on Ukrainian salvos please? And also - on Russian peace proposals too.
No, Ukraine did not have any great "score" earlier as with operation "Spiderweb" to "provoke" such attack.
It was just our Constitution Day yesterday. Just so people here understand what Russians mean by "root causes of conflict".
Yesterday was Ukrainian Constitution Day, and that is the main reason the attack of that scale happened. Just so some folks get the idea.
If we don't see dramatic changes in how our allies treat Russia (and I mean much harsher approaches and not plans on how to work with Russia after the war) - "getting the hell outta here" will be on todo list for just about any Ukrainian, including veterans and people viable for service, not just kids.
I'm more than sure that climate change will negatively impact the economy.
So I'd just say that there is something for shareholders (not to mention investment opportunities in green technologies), it's just that some people greedy shits who don't think about what happens in future.
Yeah, but enshittification started getting to Reddit and it was a wise choice to not stay to see how it goes further, as it will become more and more corporatized.
With Lemmy my problems are only with opinions developers have (spoiler: pro-Russian tankie transphobes). But idea of Lemmy and work put into it still deserve respect.
So as for now I just hope my compatriots will catch up on Fediverse eventually (Mastodon is already quite popular).
