    The war crimes like torture, hunting civilians with drones, and rape are not performed by Putin. Maybe calling the entire Russian population orcs is a bit much, but the Russian soldiers (orcs) don’t deserve that kind of consideration.

    Edited to remove the strike-through of soliders

      You may want to un-scratch the word soldiers so that one can read “soldier orcs” (which is what you intended, apparently.) Else one just reads “let’s not call them orcs btw they are orcs” since, at least myself, skipped the scratched up word on the first read.

      As a remainder to everyone else: russophobia != anti-imperialism. And rule 4 will get you banned for the former (russophobia) meanwhile the latter (anti-imperialism) is welcome
