Reply to comment by killertortilla in Germany to send 88 Leopard I tanks to Ukraine by urbanskyline09

When we stomped the Nazis and banished them, we all felt pretty uplifted. When Russia loses this war and we banish them, again the world will be uplifted.

War is sad, but why couldn't the villain getting his comeuppance by the whole world be uplifting? Something inspiring and unifying

Because this isn't winning, it's just more war. When it's over we may feel relieved and uplifted but this is just more news that more people are going to die. Not everyone on Russia's side is a bad person. Plenty of them were brainwashed by the mountains of propaganda Putin uses to pacify his people.

It's definitely winning when the man in a major country wants to set the world on fire to get what he wants, and you unify every corner of the world to stop him. We will most likely end up stronger as a world, because of this. Just like we did with WW2.

I also dunno if you can say "They public were just following putins orders" to the entire country. The public wants bloodshed. They want their free Ladas. The good russians that will make a difference in the future, left Russia already or are "not a factor" anymore.

You can still find it “uplifting” that Ukraine is getting the support it needs and feel bad that people are dying. Welcome to reality where things aren’t binary.
