Can't say I feel for them one bit.
A base-level and animalistic nation by nature, their psychopath of a dictator and domestic murderer sends the country's men on a conveyor belt of death just to get mowed down en mass. And for what? His man-child obsession with rebuilding a dynasty of the USSR that never actually existed in the first place. Delusion, and an established culture of deflection of blame towards "the West" is all they have left.
