@snooggums @LaFinlandia @espentan @awwwyissss @cooljacob204 Being sorry for lives lost in the war, which means being sorry for russians getting killed is bothsidesing and false balance.
Russians started the killing. Russians can stop it any minute. Russian commit barbaric war crimes every day.
Russians are human beings which are responsible for their actions. Russians decide every day to perpetuate the barbarism. They are responsible. Each and everyone who does not stand up against the terror
@rogerhaase @snooggums @LaFinlandia @espentan @awwwyissss @cooljacob204 absolutely 💯
May every Russian that raises their hand to kill on Ukrainian soil be left to grow beautiful flowers
Use your arms to rebel against your oppressive filthy Russian government.
There is no excuse for the horrific evil they've brought to the Ukrainians and by extension the rest of our world. This is a Russian peoples enabled war. No different then the German populace in ww2. Period.
It's not both siding lmao. I'm not going to bother explaining because I explained my viewpoint plenty in my other comments. You're free to read them.
However I find it irritating that you can't ever have a nuanced view on something without being forced onto a side by other commenters.
I'm pretty clearly pro Ukrainian and anti Russian. And it sucks that people like you attempt to make people like me who feel some amount of sadness for Russian foot soldiers dying in stupid war into an anti Ukrainian thing. Sorry for being a human with human emotions.
This conversation is over. Understanding that while russian deaths are tragic, Ukrainian deaths are both tragic and unjust. There's a difference. Lamenting that war and its effects are awful is natural but while it is still ongoing people need to be clear when pointing out the tragedy that it is in no way implying defenders should be guilty for their actions (not saying anybody did). Russians are going to die every day they insist on occupying Ukrainian soil. This is an unfortunate, but also necessary fact. Any further dialogue on this gets bans.
