Putler's whole "deal" with his populace (particularly in Moscow/St. Pete) is that they don't care how many atrocities he commits, so long as his governance enriches them and doesn't affect them personally. His hold on power will only loosen once they suffer, too. This is just the mentality citizens of a conquering nation generally have. The Roman citizens certainly didn't give a fuck about whose land was being stolen and who was being killed as long as their lives were comfy back home. No doubt it also made it easier for American citizens to accept GWB's wars since we never had any sort of attack on our soil during those 20 years. They were just greedily thinking about how much their oil prices would lower. Not saying you're wrong or anything, just saying it's not unique to Russians and also Russians aren't immune to the mentality. It's why we saw the vast majority of them didn't give a shit until Putin started doing conscription, because for the first time they were actually at risk of losing something important. --- My metal band, Ivory King, has 2 songs out now - allmylinks.com/ivorykingtx (all of our links there so you can choose which one you'd prefer to use) <cite>Kradek posted [p:977285100] in Ukraine Wa...
