[–] | on: 3rd Yandex Cloud Data Center Was Hit

Why is my comment downvoted? (Rhetorical question, of course, I know what you are.) It is the reality that Russian civilians are killed daily by the Ukranian drones, guided also by your starlink satellites.

You may not like to hear this, but this is how things are.

You may not want to hear this, but this came down on you the day russian troups entered a sovereign country, the day your missiles attacked a sovereign country.

Slava Ukraini!

The audacity of those bots these days.

Ignoring the rest of your very characteristic comment, brainless and heartless, "You may not want to hear this" is wrong. For me, you may say what you like.

The problem is that you and your likes are actively obstructing an objective description of how things are.

This includes, but is not limited to: the causes of war, what you might call "ukranian nationalism", but there is a better word for it, Russian civilian victims, and a lotof other things which I would name were it not for the american peculiar ideas about "free speech", which means that this comment will have a very short life (if at all).

A bit like some of the conscripted Ruzzian orcs, eh?

"the causes of war"

Simple, Putin talked about this for decades, you can read about it:

The goal is the re-establishment of the Russian empire in it's largest borders, beginning with his massacres in Chechnya and the invasion of Georgia.

Looks like Ukrainians don't believe in "turn to him the other cheek".

If (if..) you have at least the decency to admit what the situation really is (though of course not what - or who - led to it, that would be too much for you), then you are at least not completely out of touch with reality.

The situation is Russians invaded Ukraine, murdered, plundered, tortured and raped Ukrainians, and then Ukrainians, instead of dropping dead like everyone expected, fought back.

What led to it? Putin wanting to re-establish the Russian empire as he said and wrote many times about.

It's a mystery to me, Hitler wrote exactly what he wanted to do, he did it and people were surprised. Putin wrote exactly what he wanted to do, he did it and people were surprised. A mystery.

Sakhalin and Kamchatka are safe I heard.

For now.

Clarification: Starlink does not operate within Russia. If it did there would be fewer civilian casualties as drones would be guided to the actual targets. Civilian casualties are always a tragedy, it's just that russians don't care about them anymore - malls, transport hubs etc are targeted during the day. Putin explicitly says he wants us to freeze during winter and his propagandists cry for frontline cities as well as Kyiv, Kharkiv and others to be bombed into oblivion.

Your country started the war murdering thousands of Ukrainians. So, what do you expect?
[−]whatdouthink · 2026-10-11 Sun 10:28 UTC · link
Ukranians were murdering Russian people in Donbass before the 2022 war, but you did not care, why?

Your weapons are murdering Russian civilians right now, but you don't care, why?

There is a whole lot of Ukranian war crimes by now, but you don't care, why?

"Ukranians were murdering Russian people in Donbass"

Russia settled Russians in Ukraine to control/destroy it for decades (like in the Baltics, Georgia and in many different places, the usual Russian tactic). Then Russia instigated a civil war in Ukraine and finally invaded Ukraine in 2014, of course there were fights in Donbass then (Russia also shot down a Malaysian plane in 2014 from Donbass).

"Your weapons are murdering Russian civilians right now, but you don't care, why?"

Because those Russian civilians voted and supported a dictator who wanted and wants to invade Europe and re-enslave the population. And Russians loved it, they loved it plundering and murdering and torturing people in Europe before and they will again.

Russia encouraged Serbs to start WW1 because Russians wanted to invade Europe through their puppets on the Balkans, later invaded Europe in 1939 in a joint military operation with the Nazis/Germans and will do so again whenever Russians see the chance to do so.

I'm not sure why, but they seem to love plundering, torturing, murdering and raping. If there is another explanation I can't see it.

I would prefer no war but a big wall, mile deep minefields and drone/ballistic/SDI defenses instead to keep Russians out and stop them from invading Europe again, but I guess Russia needs to first lose this war to make this a reality.
