Standard "boo Russia, yay Ukraine" vibes + forgetting that Russian people are just regular people with regular-people hopes and fears.

Yea, but I wonder how they try to justify (if those silly emotional bursts are justifiable) those statements.

I don't think they think as far as "justifying" it. They just get their opinions from the internet

I think some people just support countries the way they support football clubs.

Regular people who happily support Putin and his war crimes.

So yes, screw Russia and send their peasant population back into the stone age.

I'm sure among those Russians who want to go from Hacker News to "Cry once a week" site the portion of the Government supporters is minuscule.
