https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oreshnik_(missile)
Oreshnik
(Russian: Орешник, lit. 'Hazel tree'), is a Russian intermediate-range ballistic missile (IRBM) characterized by its reported speed exceeding Mach 10 (12,300 km/h; 3.40 km/s), according to the Ukrainian military. The missile is equipped with six warheads, each reportedly containing submunitions, and has been described as highly difficult to intercept, though modern ballistic missile interceptors are designed to counter this type of system. (...)Symmetrically in the West, you will find angry people who, momentarily discarding any regards for human life, would find it "interesting" to destroy ruSSia in a nuclear Holocaust.
Is that really true, though (with respect to the "west" specifically)?
And why is it wrong to disregard the lives of people (not a few people but somewhere between a strong majority at minimum to an overwhelming majority [*]) who wish you, your family and your fellow citizens harm?
[*] With majorities holding across any and all demographic segments; age, income, rural vs urban, education.
i am sometimes one of those angry people in the West who wishes revenge. But if it comes to nuclear Holocaust, not only would the russians be destroyed, also many people in the west would perish. So, I'm wishing for a better outcome.
The World peace. A little bit of our humanity every time orcs commit a warcrime and we cannot arrest and punish them for it. All the overt and covert attacks on our respective national security, political representatives, and electoral system. Our loved ones harmed directly or indirectly by their hostile actions in the world... the list goes on.
All that stands up there with simply wanting revenge for russia attacking our friends and ally. I wanna bet you are simply a ru sympathizer who drank too much of their Koolaid, because that's the only way this answer isn't obvious to you.
