    Oh, so Russia should just exterminate the entire population and take that entire landmass.

    When you’re a very serious person with a well- grounded understanding of what other governments want and how wars work.

    Who could forget world War 2, when the entire population of Germany was destroyed?

      I can’t think of a more fundamental breakdown in critical thinking than responding to concerns about civilian deaths by splitting hairs about whether 100% of the population was destroyed. Nearly identical to how Israel justifies genocide.

      It’s hyperbole.

      And famously the Nazis were just chilling out in Germany and they got invaded by another country.

        If it’s hyperbole it sounds exactly like what 5 thousand dipshits have told me sincerely

        And famously the Nazis were just chilling out in Germany and they got invaded by another country.

        Actually they were doing ethnic cleansing, like the Ukranian government was.
