I mean I agree with you, and I'd like to think that I wouldn't do any of that stuff either, but I actually grew up in a society where there were some ethics and morality, but I'd imagine a lot of the people Russia is sending into the meat grinder have no regard for any of that.

Thus why I have no issue with calling them orcs or ivans, they're not wired the same as most normal humans around the world. There is some very deep rot in Russian society that allows so many of their men to behave like soulless psychopaths. The optimal scenario in my mind is that this war bankrupts Russia so hard that it collapses as a single entity, and the countries that emerge post-breakup look towards the west to rebuild their economies much like many of the post-USSR countries did. Maybe then their boys and young men will start growing up with empathy and compassion
