It’s like I get the point of this war but at the same time it’s just something about the music playing in the background like it’s some kind of call of duty montage that makes me feel uneasy about it.

I was in the military too and there are often times where I didn’t agree with certain things but it’s part of the mission.

Idk, it’s just sad and unfortunate all around.

These people have friends and family that I’m sure care about them..

I don't think anyone is happy that this was is going on. The reason I'm happy to see Russian casualties it's twofold, the war will not end until the Russians have faced such devastating loss of life that they destabilize the Putin regime, and the myriad war crimes are being committed by Russian service men. Death, surrender, or retreat. That's it, the Russians serve the cause of genocide and have to be expelled from Ukraine. Sure they have families, that's too bad, Ukraine is the victim. Kill Russians until their families start to care, though that may not be possible.

Destabilizing Putin will only fuel the ultranationalist takeover. You are delusional if you think this will end the war - it will make everything worse. You talk about genocide with no clue what it means. It is incredible how brainwashed you are by this kind of morbid propaganda. You are the victim of western war profiteering. You should know that the people you are against will reurgitate the same talking points (just replace Russsia with Ukraine). Fact is: you are "happy to see causalities". This is a very sadistic attitude!

Destabilizing Putin will only fuel the ultranationalist takeover.

We have no idea what will happen in a post-Putin Russia. I am under no illusion that it will change for the better and suddenly become truly free and democratic, nothing in Russian history suggests that will happen, but the actual scenario is a complete unknown. Also your fears about ultranationalist takeover is a bit late, that already occurred with Putin more than a decade ago.

As it stands now, any casualty inflicted on the Russian army and the destabilisation of Russia is a good thing, because it helps undermine the ultranationalist imperialist project which Putin has dragged Russia into. Despite Russians being actual human beings, some of those human beings are actively engaged in an invasion and planned genocide of a neighbouring country. There are no "both sides" to that, that is a fact existing in reality.

And anyone not deserting or surrendering to Ukraine are legitimate targets in the effort to minimise the damage they are currently doing to the victim country. Russia is systematically and deliberately bombing civilian targets each and every day. They are torturing and killing POWs and civilians, and it will continue to happen for as long as they are allowed to engage in their war of aggression. Stopping this by eliminating the invading soldiers one by one, and destroying their equipment piece by piece is the only way, because neither Putin nor Russia will willingly back down from their invasion and grand plans of their Greater Russia.
