Oh fuck off. Russia is committing cultural genocide and is constantly bombing civilian targets. Russia thinks nothing of bombing hospitals or other civilian infrastructure. The only reason the Ukrainians are not also being crammed into a strip is because Russia’s military hasn’t been capable of doing that.
If by ‘playing dirty’ you mean ‘committing heinous war crimes’, no that’s not an everyone thing. Sure, the US is also very guilty of it, and needs to be judged accordingly, but that isn’t justification for Russia doing the same and more to Ukraine.
Yeah, you did… but that is not why we’re here, are we.
My point is, US liberals like to say “oh yeah, the US is also bad, but take a look at what that guy is doing”… if the US minded their own business from time to time, I’m confident the world would be a much better place to live in.
Sure. I’m also confident that if Russia did the same, it would also be a better place to live in too.
I don’t deny the US does some incredibly messed up shit, hell I don’t deny that the US needs to be tried for war crimes, but that’s not justification for another country to do the same to a third country.
Actually, it is. If everyone respected the rules set by the UN, there would probably be no war crimes at all. But one side breaks them, then the other… it’s a slipery slope after that.
No it’s not. It’s a shitty excuse. It’d be one thing if Russia was fighting an opponent who was also subjecting their people to war crimes en masse, but that isn’t what’s happening. This is just silly whataboutism, not a moral justification.
So, when did Ukrainian military bomb Russian civilian infrastructure? I’d like to learn more about that, so that I have something to ask my own government about

Edit: clarity
Yes, they can play dirty, but so does everyone else, so no surprise there.

I bet you’re not as “loud” when US war crimes are in question…
I literally just called out the US for its war crimes and said they should be judged for it…
And I don’t recall even the US going as far as to kidnap thousands of children to strip them of their identities.
Yeah, you did… but that is not why we’re here, are we.

Oh please, the US have done that as well, numerious times, then try to cover that shit up. That’s nothing new.
Was I asking about the US? Or did Ukraine become another state, while I was asleep?
You didn’t, but you should be.
