Russians Weirdly Stumped About Why Moscow Is Getting Bombed

[Jilly_in_VA]

After six consecutive days of drone attacks on the Moscow region last week, one would think the shock of sudden late-night explosions might compel some Russians to consider what Ukrainian civilians have endured during 550 days of relentless Russian attacks.

Instead, some residents near the Russian capital have taken to social media to vent about the inconvenience of being woken up in the middle of the night, question why the “international community” isn’t coming to their rescue, and blame Ukrainian “terrorists” for targeting civilian areas. (Never mind that Moscow has repeatedly attacked residential areas in Ukraine with Iranian-made Shahed drones.)

No injuries have been reported in the recent string of attacks, and Russian officials claim to have shot down most of the drones that they say caused only “minor damage” to a building in Moscow City and several broken windows elsewhere. Kyiv has not confirmed or denied involvement in the drone strikes.

Russian media widely covered the attacks, airing interviews with residents who showed off their broken windows.

“It was scary to go up to the window,” said one man recounting his shock to wake up and find his window shattered. “This is the first time anything like this has happened to me.”

1. They think that wars only go one way

from them to others.

My heart bleeds...oh, wait, nope, it doesn't.

2. Poor things.

3. Story of humanity: lack of empathy, selfishness, short-sightedness

And surprise at commonly logical reactions.

Otherwise called stupidity.

4. I wonder how much of their apathy is because they're kept in the dark

versus how much of their apathy is because they want to be kept in the dark.

5. first, don't believe anything you hear on russian tv or internet interviews....

People will literally disapear if they say even a remotely wrong thing in one of those interviews. It's either the putin line or nothing at all.

Second, a lot of russians really are brainwashed regardless of the first point. Imagine if all we had to choose from was three channels of newsmax, and the only internet sites we could reach were approved telegram or fourchan channels.

There simply is no other voice in russia. As soon as it is heard it is either jailed or sent to the front.

And when they get to the front, they are war criming like it is second nature to them, so they aren't exactly good people sent to fight a bad war.
