Imagine defending a regime that targets hospitals and schools for missile attacks and rains white phosphorous down on cities.

If the Russians cared about anything beyond their own expansionist agenda, they'd retreat and end the war they started. If you actually cared about the suffering of Ukrainians, you would stop being a mouthpiece for that regime.

Fuck, I almost thought you were on about the US and Israel but guess not ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

Too bad you still are pushing for the war to even continue. You don't want the Russians to genocide every single Ukrainian so you still propose they should just do it themselves and continue running straight into landmines. 🙄

How about some peace talks? Maybe? Oh wait Boris Johnson thought otherwise...
