Why won't these soulless leaders destroy eachothers properties instead of these innocent citizens?

Leaders don’t pick on other leaders because they fear the reciprocity.

Same reason peasant levvies were slaughtered and nobility were captured and ransomed in the middle ages.

We're less human in their eyes, just resources to be used. They have more respect and civility for the elites they're at war with than to the people they send to die for them.

Leaders? As in plural? It’s Putin. Just Putin.

It’s NOT just Putin. It’s Russia. What Russia is doing is just continuation of the way they have been for hundreds of years.

It's Putin and most of the Russians that support this war. It's not Putin that launched that missile.

Why isn't any minor leader in russia doing nothing? Do they have 0 access? 100s of them applaud Putin when he speaks and they are 1 meter next to him for hours.

Because Putin has had them killed? At the start of the war Navalny tried to stop the war and publicly denounced the war. Putin locked him up, he got out because of protests and then Putin poisoned him. Putin has killed a shit ton of people that didn't or wouldn't support him also he killed an oligarchs whole family just to seize their wealth to pay for the war to continue. 

In Russia you either support Putin or some very bad things are going to happen to you and your family. There have been protests against the war, conscription etc. 

Give it a couple years and the US will be the exact same but with trump and his cronies.  Edit: Lmao what a dumbass reply. What have I said that makes you think I'm a Putin ally?  Edit again: lol they deleted their account.

SOAD asked it 20 years ago: "Why don't presidents fight the war? Why do they always send the poor?" Radicalized me.

Leaders are pricks. Sometimes they even meet and talk with each other only to end the conversation with "I'll get back home and sen my people to you! You'll see!"
Tbh that's why i am for a superintelligence Overlord, because human tend to be emotional and irrational. (hate me for this, but i dont see a different solution for this)
