You know what's even more fucked up? Europe, Australia and even Ukraine sent troops also to murder Iraqis and Afghans then bragged how they did things for the US

That certainly sounds like Europe, Australia, and Ukraine.

Our humanitarian intervention vs. their FULL-SCALE invasion

Our benevolent soldiers vs their satanic death squads

It's not just FULL-SCALE, it is also ILLEGAL!

I really do think that liberals should take a hard look at themselves. They don't flinch to call Russian soldiers orcs, and ascribe to their foreign policy a mindless bloodthirst. Do they think of US soldiers the same way? Or US foreign policy (even under someone like darling Obama)? Seriously: who is more "evil" Putin or Obama? By what measure?

At least the Donbass was experiencing genuine turmoil. The Obama regime had to invent a pretext for invasion whole cloth. And fifteen years later NATO hasn't rebuilt even a single building in Libya. Mariupol looks a lot better than it did a year and a half ago.

Also works for them saying bomb them.

fuck those dirty Russians Ukraine should bomb all the cities

So you want them to hit civilians?

no I meant only places without people but still they need to retaliate

Then why say bomb the cities?

stop twisting my words when I want they're the evil bad ones

Usually they just say there are no civilians in Russia and Ukraine killing ANY Russian is completely justified. Not the other way around though.

Also parallels their thoughts on Israel vs Palestine. Israel can kill any Palestinian and be "self defense" but when it comes to Israelis suddenly they care about the civilian distinction.

It's incredibly interesting how, according to western media, all the ukrainian attacks on russian infrastructure never cause any deaths but russian attacks always cause deaths every time.

when hamas does it it's genocidal intent, when ukraine/israel do it is self-defence.

Calling for Russians to shoot Putin while condemining "political violins" when Trump got shot will never not be funny.
