Muscovites stand in line for T-shirts with the inscription “Odesa is, of course, a Russian city” and “It wasn’t us who decided to annex Crimea, it was the people”. All Russians want this war, not just Putin!

Where’s HIMARS when you need one? Sure they look like civilians but they are waging war on Odessa Ukraine.
orcs still dont know how to handle e-commerce
Victims of state propaganda, here is Herman Goering on how easy it is to get the people on your side:
​
>We got around to the subject of war again and I said that, contrary to his attitude, I did not think that the common people are very thankful for leaders who bring them war and destruction.
>
>”Why, of course, the people don’t want war,” Goering shrugged. “Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece. Naturally, the common people don’t want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship.”
>
>”There is one difference,” I pointed out. “In a democracy the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars.”
>
>”Oh, that is all well and good, but, [voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders.](https://www.mit.edu/people/fuller/peace/war_goering.html) That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country.”
No, not all Russians want this war.. The ones that aren’t supporting the war and that have the means to leave the country already left and aren’t going back. The ones that don’t have the money to bride some government official to miss draft are committing suicide or harming themselves at an alarming rate. So no, not all Russians want this war.
I do however agree that videos like this make it seem like a majority of the country is in favor of the war, but this video is most likely pushed by the russian government to persuade people that a lot are in support of the war.
Fuck russia..
P.S. I’m not Russian myself.
I think this is a staged video. Those who want can always buy such a T-shirt on the Internet. In addition, there are very few queues in Moscow. Moreover, it is only possible to assemble a queue of such young people on purpose.
We do not want Russians inside EU!! Throw them out now!!
Nothing about this smacks of authenticity.
New Russian law coming that anyone not wearing one gets sent off to the front immediately, maybe.
I thought that Russians had given up on queuing when the cold war ended and Western firms moved in to help the Commies out! Seems like old habits die hard!
WOLVERINES YOU MOTHERFUCKERS
Not all russians (I am russian btw), this is obviously not correct.
I bet most of those gals were told to buy it (with a compensation or something like that). Or this was a bunch of folks from one of so-called “youths patriotic movements”.
Most of young people here are smart enough and they don’t care about Putler.
Everyone who wears one of these two shirts should be immediately sent to the frontline. There they will quickly change their minds but it will be way too late.
Fucking donkeys.
That mall is a legitimate military target.
If we could stop judging millions of people based on one video of a crowd that would be great.
You have russians fighting for Ukraine. Stop saying “all”!
I think they should hand out draft notifications with each shirt.
Those putinjugend by t-shirts so long minorities go die in Ukraine for them…
This looks like an organized manifestation TBH. We had things like that when we were an eastern block country. People were bussed from workplace to a place where it was needed to “show support” and unless they wanted to lose their job it was a good idea to comply, wave and applaud and then go home.
Why sell T-shirts just make them to sign up for the war 😉 Ukraine will need more fertilizer for their soil for upcoming spring.
Wrong. The Russians who support the war want this war. I love how you try to counter generalization with even more generalization…
[Insert Picard facepalm here]
quite a few military aged men there, if you feel so strongly, why dont you join up and join the death marches?
Stop this russophobic propaganda. Many brave russians risked their future protesting this war and many more are scared af of the punishment they will get if they rise up against the regime. A video of some brainwashed assholes buying shirts aint evidencial or representative for the russian people.
No, I’m sorry, not all Russians. Moreover, alienating all the Russians so much we don’t trust them to sort the next power vaccuum without our intervention plays directly into the Kremlin isolationist playbook.
Just nuke them already. Let’s turn this sh*thole country into the wasteland it wants to be.
