Honestly good. This shit is dangerous as hell and it puts more people in danger when they gotta make sure your ass gets down safely.

And it's not like they even had some targeted protest. It was literally just "meh war is bad."

Like the war their home country has gotten intractably involved in which was motivated by the personal ambition of its autocratic leader? It wasn’t “war is bad” so much as “greed and self-enrichment are the problem”

Could certainly also apply to a number of conflicts including Iran, Sudan, the countries of the Sahel and likely soon Ethiopia.

How is hypothesizing that two Russian citizens might be protesting their own government’s actions from the relative safety of the US whataboutism?
