Tl;dr: Sanctions on oligarchs bad, they forced us to support russias war, woe is me. I am so so so very brilliant. I support the war effort, yet take no sides and make no moral judgements. Do not put more pressure on russia.

The ability of people to completely absolve themselves from the actions of their government without doing a single iota to protest said government.

People who protest in Russia tend to have fatal accidents.

I get what you are saying but anyone that apposes the government will likely end up dead or in jail. We hear about it all the time. As a group the oligarchs have power against the government but as individuals they really don't. They just smile and continue to do what made them rich.

You think you know what goes on in Russia, but you actually understand not so much.

Get it into your head: what goes on is that your country (your country's capitalists, not joes like you of course) wages an occupation (this is the final goal, unless you hide your head in the sand) war against Russia, and Ukraine is just a tool, as it happened before in history.

And if I, a person living in Europe, understand that perfectly, what do you imagine Russian people think?

*looks at Ukraine*

Nope pretty sure thats Russia trying to occupy another sovereign nation, not us.

You can downvote me, but my country has not invaded Ukraine. It has not been providing support to Israel to bomb civilians, it has not attacked Iran to distract from Epstein files.

No, that's not accurate.

Unfortunately it is much closer to truth than the western version of events

Look at the mirror, american ubermensch

As a non-American, it is bitterly funny to hear a NATO citizen say that.

Sorry to hear this. I was hopeful of pressure on Putin.
