    And for what?

    For the sake of the people in the Donbass who were being shelled since 2014. For the sake of no nuclear war. For the sake of bringing NATO to its heels.

      So did the casualties/severity of those things increase or decrease after the three day special military operation begun?

        “You can’t call the cops to arrest me for beating my wife, it’ll just make me want to hurt other people!”

        -UkraNazis as they shelled Donbass and acted surprised when Russia gave them a taste of their own medicine.

        Look, I support the fastest resolution as possible to prevent more casulties as long as it is effective, but this argument is nonsensical. Even the New York Times was reporting on Ukraine shelling their own cities with cluster munitions back in 2014. You can’t just say “people will die if we intervene, so go ahead and keep murdering people, we won’t stop you”.

        As an aside, three day thing never came from Russia, that was Belaraus and a US general estimating it was possible to take Kiev in three days if they wanted to.
