    Range is one thing. Hopefully it’s accurate or else who knows what they would hit. It wouldn’t look good if they hit civilians by accident.

      Are there civilians in Russia? I don’t see people protesting too much. Everybody knows Putin couldn’t do shit if millions of Russians marched on the Kremlin.

        Of course there civilians in Russia. Most people in Russia are similar to those elsewhere, just trying to get on with their lives despite the stupid decisions their government is making which they lack any real power to affect.

          I HIGHLY doubt that most people in Russia are similar to those elsewhere. People in Russia have been through hell and back and most stayed there just because they can’t be bothered to do anything - in fact, a big portion supports it all as well, because “they don’t know different” (which I personally don’t believe anymore - Russians have internet as well and for over 20 years now. Not striving and wanting better lives and just looking out for personal gains is the hell mentioned)

            OK, you go ahead and change a decision your government is making.

            Come on, we’re all waiting for you to prove how easy it is, don’t let us down.

                Right, understanding how difficult influencing things is in a dictatorshipmakes ME the one that doesn’t understand something. You’re a clown.

                  Why so emotional? Do you really think Putin would kill millions of Russians marching on the Kreml? That would logistically only be possible with nukes.

                  The problem is that there aren’t millions of Russians who feel that they need to do something about their country.

                  Just look at history, worse regimes than the current Russian ones have been toppled by the people.
