God war sucks.

At some point I find myself almost wishing for terrorism, like sneak a few Ukrainians in over the Suny Oblast area border and blow up commercial buildings at night...

Then I remember that the whole thing breaks if Ukrainians start being as bad as Russia. (Not that it would be as bad as what they have done, but few people would support that)

I would support it. Make the average citizen of Russia feel as unsafe as the Ukranians feel. I'm not saying target civilians, but make it known you can. Russia isn't playing by the rules. If Russia manages to crush Ukraine, will anyone sleep better at night going 'At least Ukraine played fair'.

you guys are fucking crazy. ukrainian government knows there’s a very tangible and real possibility of defeat, or at the least concessions to russia during negotiations. do you really think it is in their best interests to let the kremlin make claims about ukrainian acts of terror during that stage?? like it or not, the world isnt some fucking equitable, fair fairy tale. russia has significantly more bargaining power here. they can afford ukraine making such claims, that doesn’t matter. on the flip side, ukraine cannot.

Thanks for a sane take on this. War isn't tit for tat, war is incredibly unfair
