Good. As long as it doesn't target civilian areas.

Soldiers can always defect or surrender. Don't want to face Ukraine's army? Don't be in Russia's army. It's that simple.

I consider every Russian soldier complicit in this invasion of Ukraine. Otherwise they wouldn't be there.

It's that simple

It is anything but simple. Lot of them don't really have a choice.

Guess you've never been threatened with Job loss, homelessness, starvation, or anything of that sort before. Must be nice.

Actually I have. But I didn't use it as sn excuse to invade Canada, and start blowing up schools and hospitals in an attempt to take over Canadian land. I didn't run around killing others for my misfortune. But if I had, I would FULLY expect the Canadian military to do anything it could to kill me.
