Looking back, it could be misconstrued. I want it perfectly known, Israel is being a complete and utter arse, I do not support Israel in anyway shape or form.

Russia weighs biggest tax shake-up in almost 25 years as Putin scrambles to finance Ukraine war
A higher rate of 15% was established in 2021 for those earning more than five million roubles (around £43,500).
Now the finance ministry wants to lower the threshold for the 15% rate, so it applies to annual incomes from 2.4 (around £20,800) to five million roubles, and introduce more bands above.
Incomes between five and 20 million roubles (around £43,500 to £174,000) will be taxed at 18%, those between 20-50 million roubles (around £174,000 to £434,000) at 20%, and anything over 50 million roubles at 22%.
Under the proposals, corporation tax will also increase from 20% to 25%.
It'll make zero difference to public opinion.Massive change to the tax system in Russia to fund the3 day special military operation3+ year war:

Name a genocide the US has been in favour of
Your stance would have been let them crack on going by your views on Russias invasion of Ukraine. Russia is guilty of the same war crimes in Ukraine.They created genocide in Vietnam. In one incident alone a whole village was destroyed and all inhabitants killed and raped by US troops.

Pretty sure the USA’s involvement in Vietnam was widely condemned both in the US and abroad. It finished before I was born but I don’t doubt for a minute that I would have condemned the USA much as I have Russia in the same circumstances in Ukraine. In stark contrast to your juxtaposition.Well with respect surely its those people who support US action and look in horror at Russian atrocities need to look in the mirror.

The difference is that the US acknowledged what happened, investigated it and people were charged (admittedly not many were convicted).Well as said before - and someone gloated about it - this war is a way the US can take on the east and let other people die. Russia behaviour is a picnic compared to the US in Vietnam. It never changes either as witnessed with illegal torture in Iraq.
You could probably do with reading some of the reports on Russias behaviour in Ukraine before making that sweeping statement. Try reading some of the human rights watch reports or articles by reporters without borders, not just towards Ukrainians but also their own conscripts. Then there’s the stealing of Ukrainian children and packing them of to Russia. Human rights watch have confirmed rape of children as young as 4, elderly women and even captured male soldiers. They also use rape as a punishment against their own conscripts who refuse to fight or who go awol from the front line only to be caught. There isn’t yet a definitive numbers of villages, towns and areas of cities wiped off the map by Russia but they’re mounting. Russia is also known to use torture including mock executions against captured Ukrainian soldiers and civilians.Well as said before - and someone gloated about it - this war is a way the US can take on the east and let other people die.

How's that any different to this - Mahmudiyah rape and killings - WikipediaAlso, saying Russian behaviour is a picnic compared to the US is a ridiculous statement. There were children raped in Bucha, people lined up and executed, people tortured, people mutilated. They also continue to target and kill civilians and have stolen thousands of children.

You’d be better off pointing that question in the direction of Grendull. He’s the only one saying that there is a difference. Russia is in Ukraine for a picnic according to him against the wait of evidence.How's that any different to this - Mahmudiyah rape and killings - Wikipedia

Well exactly. It's not any different, that's the point.
The difference is that the US acknowledged what happened, investigated it and people were charged (admittedly not many were convicted).
Russia on the other hand won't acknowledge that anything has happened and certainly won't be charging anyone for doing it.
Also, saying Russian behaviour is a picnic compared to the US is a ridiculous statement. There were children raped in Bucha, people lined up and executed, people tortured, people mutilated. They also continue to target and kill civilians and have stolen thousands of children.
Whether you mean to or not, your constant focus on the US comes across as trying to downplay Russia's role in this. They are fully responsible and have the power to end this today if they want.
I wouldn't say despotic as yet but may become after November. Brutal certainly.So you think the US are a despotic brutal regime?

Yes, exactly. I think you're missing the point being made.
Why? The OP was making a clear comparison between the behaviour of US an Russian soldiers. Again, only one poster thinks one group is at a picnic. If you want to point that out to anyone it’s them. Your direction is misdirection.It was directed at this statement - Also, saying Russian behaviour is a picnic compared to the US is a ridiculous statement.
