But if it came to it, if my death in a bayonet charge contributed to the destruction of Russia, sign me the fuck up.

And the deaths of your loved ones? Your sons, your nephews, your brothers? Still worth it?

Not to mention the lives of the soldiers you kill in battle. Every one of them as precious as yours.

Hey don’t get me wrong, I don’t like dead people (me very much included) any more than you do.

But yes, I think that a few deaths - including mine and my loved ones, as it can happen, if it comes to it - in exchange for the destruction of Russia is a bargain.

Russia poses an existential threat to our society and to the world at large. Who do you think is pushing the climate change denial agenda?

Much more damage and much more death and suffering will happen if Russia keeps existing.

Rupert Murdoch.

Ah well, that too :D multiple bad guys can coexist, unfortunately.
