I haven't been on Lemmy in a while and only just saw this reply.
I don't think I missed the point. You said that Putin can't hurt people, and I'm saying that's untrue. He has ordered the murders of political opponents. He ordered an invasion of Ukraine that has killed many innocent Ukrainians, and is also sending young Russians to their deaths, pointlessly.
And no, I obviously don't think I'm on the front line. I'm lucky enough to not be in a warzone, but there are people who aren't that lucky, and their lives are in danger due to the selfish barbarity of Putin and his regime.
