Because they have no consequences. Thats the power. Nobody but Ukraine is going to hit them back and its somehow a debate on whether we should support Ukraine or not.

Their own citizens were on the flight - could you imagine if the military of a western country downed a plane? There'd be protests for weeks.

Will the Russians protest? I doubt it.

They know that if they start a mass protest they have to go all the way and take it all down or they will individually be grabbed off the streets and end up falling out of a window. They dont have the guts to stand up for themselves anymore. They just let Putin take all their men and send them to death. Pathetic for a country who prides themselves on being so tough that one little man keeps them hiding in their holes.

You said Russia is being run by “one little man” and that’s ridiculous to think 146 million people are being ruled by a single man. He has an army, he has his inner circle of whoever he hasn’t had fall off a roof yet. It’s not just Putin.

Do you honestly not understand that those people answer to Putin? That's what "ruler" means in this context. Putin is in charge and the people under him do as instructed. If they don't do as instructed then they fall out the windows you mentioned.

There are absolutely others complicit in the oppression, but that doesn't stop Putin being the one in charge. That's literally how dictatorships work.

Um, no shit?

But for the commenter to imply that Russians are lame asses bc they let “one little man” rule their nation, is immature.

Yes, I know how a dictatorship works.
