[valeriewalker]

I’m glad everyone seems to get together in such horrible times for my country . Thank you people

[tonysoprano]

I feel sorry for the average citizens of Russia and Ukraine, they're the ones suffering the most.

[breanapadilla]

I can't hack for sh*t, but I wished there was a way I could send support to the people of Anonymous. Keep doing your thing!

[IAmVlaad]

“everyone is at risk”
*smiles intently*

"They may target OUR government as a result." As if they haven't been literally doing that.

[waterlilly]

It is heartbreaking to see brave protesters in Russia, even people in their 80's, knowing they are facing up to 15 years in prison. When all they want is freedom 😢

[kristymartin]

Yes we need more people like this. Thank god someone is trying to do something

[minecraft-duxc]

Thanks, great work as always!
Thank you for the in-depth study of the motives and causes of this war and the analysis of the requirements of each side.
Thank you for de-escalating and for showing nothing that could create more death, devastation and suffering.
Thank you for not intimidating the viewers and not pushing to the nuclear war.
Thank you for your contribution to normalizing this deadly situation and saving the world.
Can you also help to stop the earth, there many people who want to get out.

Weird to say but you know your a “bad guy” when even the hackers go after you personally

[regs]

These hackers should be using their abilities to inform the Russian people of what is really happening.

[narutoblockhead]

This reminds me when the good guy and the bad guy both team up to take down a common threat.

[lovedavis]

pretty sad innocent russians have to suffer

[christopherwithers]

I feel really bad for the average elderly person trying to just live through this matrix.

[Xiannv.]

Hackers are very skillful and intelligent people. Glad to see you are using your talent to do some good.

[jerrycampbell]

It was going to happen sooner or later. Might as well be ahead of the game. I'm just happy to see Anonymous take aim at Russia.

[jalen]

Literally most of the free world against this man and you really love to see it. Just hate it for the average Russian citizen who didn't even want war in the first place. It's kinda unreal how all our lives are tied to one person.

[turtle]

its really sad that a lot of people barley even know what life is like outside of war now...

[xxclutchxx]

You know it’s bad when anonymous steps in

[myladyrose]

This hackers not only have brains, also have a heart! God bless you for using that gifts in a good way.

[Jacob-oeuy]

There is a moral code to life. Break the code on this scale, and people will come after you. Cheers to Anonymous.
