Putin bring his country to hell

While watching some documentary about World War II, I came across clips on the final phase of the second world war. Both Germany and Japan have depleted most of their resources, including most of their troops. 

Their final resolution was to recruit citizens of teenage years. 

I saw on the video about Hitler inspecting the new recruits who were barely trained and too weak to even hold a gun. They were then sent to the front line to fight against the coalition and to be killed.

On the other end of the world, the Japanese officers saluting the latest group of recruits with Sake, then placed them into aeroplanes with no combat capability and strapped with explosives. They were sent to die in Kamikase operation, one plane one battleship.

I can see from the action of both countries over their desperation for a hope to reverse the progress of the war. They ran out of choice and yet unwilling to surrender, as a result dragging the future of the whole nation into oblivion with them.

fast forward to 2014, Russia invaded south of Ukraine and took control of its southern peninsular, no one was there to stop Putin. Came 2021 when Russia's economy seemed to be on a down turn, Putin tried to pull another fast one on Ukraine.

He would have succeeded if he stopped moving forward after capturing the eastern end of Ukraine. This time he got greedy, he thought that he could repeat 2014 but capturing the whole country. Why not? Afterall, Russia has never considered Ukraine as a sovereign country, it belonged to Russia.

He under-estimated the strong will of Ukraine to fight back, neither has he anticipated that US would take this opportunity to have it trapped in this "special military action" and in the process depleting its military resources.

Russia has now lost fifty over thousand military personnel, thousands military equipment and using up its missiles. This morning, Putin made a special broadcast to his people.

In his speech, he still tried to justify his action, demonized the west and Ukraine. He claimed to be helping the few "liberated territories" with referendum to be integrated into Russia and that he would call for enlistment of reserve troops to support the cause.

This man is without shame, lying through his teeth. those territories are part of Ukraine. Russia has no say in the direction of these area. It is Ukraine's call whether a referendum should be held at all.

The speech is in fact only mean to lie to the people of Russia in order for him to drag them to the front line. It is clear that he is running out of option and this is his last resort. 

The point here is: Am I to feel any sympathy for the men of Russia? 

Certainly not. they stood on the fence letting their fearless leader doing his bid to destroy Ukraine, letting up to 50,000 of their troops die on battlefield, yet not a single voice was raised to stop Putin. It is only right that they continue to support their leader to go all the way.

To be frank, Russia is already losing the war, or " special military action" with its regular army, who is supposed to be well armed and trained. Putin is not in his right mind when he thinks that with the addition of his reserve troops (with much less training and skill set) can turn the war around.

It is really Russian who need to think hard if they continue to support such a lunatic to go all the way or have him removed. Being silence only make them equally accountable for the crime that Putin is committing.
