So 10 mil Ukrainians were forced out of the country but russians can't leave on their own?
Yeah they can.
They chose to stay and pay for the war with their taxes.
but they have families etc etc everyone does, and they still were forced to leave and manage to build a life or rebuild from scratch. So yeah you can leave with your family.
And yeah you are complicit if you don't do anything against. There is also a way even donating to Ukraine from inside russia.
Stop defending the complicit ones, the math is very simple.
which country do you propose Russians ought to move to such that they are no longer complicit with some other government's malfeasance? Russia is not the only country that under your logic you might say this about it's residents.
Doesn’t matter. Obviously you can always find some ties etc but reasonably just leaving russia and condemning their actions would be good enough.
But you can’t put zero effort in and claim Oh i am a victim here.
By your standard, those Ukrainians are complicit in the crimes of neo-Nazi groups inspired by Bandera who engaged in ethnic cleansing over the past decade.
I don’t personally view things that way — but I think it’s very interesting in how you selectively apply guilt by association.
Russians ALL contribute by taxes so in this case all of them are complicit.
In your fictional example very few are.
And here was no "ethnic cleansing" in any way, not sure what propaganda you are into. Sounds russian.
