Why would anyone say that when everyone knows that it incontrovertibly is? Civilians always get killed in war, but scale, proportion, and intent matter. Noam Chomsky: Russia is fighting more humanely than the US did in Iraq
Idk I'm not convinced. The fact that they're not as bad doesn't make it any less problematic
Yeah, you don't know. Willful ignorance is a helluva drug.
Do you think that what Russia is doing is okay
Stop announcing your abject ignorance and then asking if people agree with your strawman position on the basis of your uninformed beliefs about what might be happening in the world as a form of purity test. It's not the gotcha you think it is.
Then you don’t know the last eighty years of US atrocities worldwide, starting from the nuclear bombing of two heavily populated cities with no warning and ending with aiding & abetting an ongoing genocide in Palestine.
