It is a challenge to one's ethical code

I was talking to my wife about how I cannot feel pains of sympathy when I see Russian tanks brutally blown up... saw a tank hit, a lone russian soldier scrambling out of the hatch only to sustain a direct hit from the follow-up shot... objectively I felt disgusted at the waste of human life, emotionally I just felt relief that there was one less tank to kill civilians.

After seeing the first-hand footage of the father and son non-combatants that were trying to escape a besieged city with their dogs, only to be gunned down by Russian troops... after that, I cannot conjure up any sympathy for the Russians.

The only way it looks like the killing of civilians will end is for a lot of Russian troops to die, and the faster the better.

I am mostly a pacifist, but some people need to die so more worthwhile people can live in peace.
