Quit reddit behavior please. This adds nothing and is not at all useful.
I'm just expressing my hope they will succeed and liberate many more villages and cities, in the most succint way possible. And they will succeed.
You just said 'glory to the heroes'. Which heroes are you wishing glory to? Cause that saying has a history that you are apparently unaware of.
The ones right now (not 70 years ago) defending their country (aka the Ukrainians) from imperialists (russians) who are shelling civilians, kidnapping children, castrating soldiers, raping women. YHave you been keeping up?
Frankly, if the Germans were invaded, it wouldn't excuse starting to use a phrase the traditional Nazi's used, even if the people invading were monsters. In the same way that the swastika is an appropriated symbol, but no longer represents that because something came along that carries far more ... historical weight, shall we say.
If someone invaded the South of the US, I would not be okay with the US starting to use wildly well known confederate slogans.
Also, you just said the Russians are the heroes you were referencing that were defending their country from imperialists who are doing all that bad stuff. I know that isn't what you meant, but that is what you said. Might be worth an edit, if you care.
