@KitchenSlippers@HardcoreHistory Yeah, I think he means “any group oppressed like this will have some small fraction that will turn their pain into evil madness like this”.

@NoahCRothman I’m curious what *would* count as unacceptable bribes if not this.

Russia is being psychopathic. There is no way to stop the fighting short of defeating them.
