One does not become a decorated war hero by SLAUGHTERING one's own troop as Prigozhin had done during his revolt.
Nationalism is perfectly normal, as who does not love his/her own motherland, made up of courageous people whom hardworkingly build up the nation thru sweat & taxes that contributed towards social expenditure to uplift lives of all?
However, what the RUS govt had done is BEYOND nationalism. It's about WORLD DOMINATION, evident by its CONQUEST of its neighbor UKR & the attempt to upset the World Economic Order that saw billions worldwide starve & faced INCREASED cost in commodities. Fortunately, the World rallied, & instead saw RUS on the brink of economic ruin & its citizens in financial difficulties now.
No one seeks to conquer RUS, but only to protect themselves. What the RUS govt had done is unconscionable to Humanity, more so with its brutal & savage attacks upon even civilian infrastructures & precious Human lives. At least the valiant & courageous Ukrainians had united as a population of millions, standing up & striking back against the monstrous RUS govt & its military arms.
Sadly, it is the RUS youths, ill trained & equipped, whom had to sacrifice their precious lives for this atrocious conquest upon another's land. What had they been sacrificed for, & what had they gained except to prop up the corrupted & insane within the RUS govt?
May the RUS youths learn from the history of the senseless USA Vietnam war.
