I mean, if the Russian people really are against this war, they would be on the streets in the tens of millions right now demanding a new government. Just like what the Romanians and Czechs did at the end of the 1980s.
And yet, all we're seeing is just a few thousand people being quickly suppressed and arrested. Worse, Putin's domestic approval rating went up to a *RECORD 71%!
The Russian people have a choice, and clearly they're making what (a big part of) the international community sees is a terrible one..
