I await the Russian trolls to tell us that this is all Western propaganda.

This post already got marked as flagged/dead ten minutes ago. I'm glad HN has the option to "vouch" for posts.

To be fair, it is slightly off topic. I hope we get more articles on the war which go in depth about the tactics, operations, etc.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The narrative is already pivoting to "NATO made them do this".

Right, it’s the denazification of a country with the Jewish president. Fuck Russia :(

Yea, the US weapons going to the Azov Battalion are certainly not undermining that case.

I just woke up to this news and I'm wondering if it's possible for Apple and Google to brick all Russian phones? This would probably be more effective on their population at large than any form of sanctions.

Congratulations! You bring an idea to brick all Russian phones including phones of opposition, people who against the war, political prisoners, and other people who just live in the country.

I don't fault OP for brainstorming ideas, especially since I assume its done with the intent of finding ways to protect civilians, but you point out what is critical here: the west cannot give up on the Russian people. By-and-large they do not support this act of war and the best way to further our interests is to continue to foster a desire for change in them.

How horrible for those that will die now, and over time for anyone in Ukraine who wants the right to express dissent with government policies without being bullied, harrassed, harmed or killed for it. This is a right worth fighting for, for ourselves and others, and always will be.
