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

They don't even go that far to distinguish the difference from my experience. Just go I didn't mean that but I'm just gonna blame you for reading the words I used

No, please, we need liberation. Our government has been a problem for a long time, just that neo-liberals are getting scared.

Both, both is good
It isn’t “fuck the [imperialist/authoritarian nation] government and its enforcers” for most people?
Russia isn't imperialist. Imperialism isn't when invasion or when big country is bad
Authoritarian is a useless pejorative as every nation that has been or currently is is "authoritarian".

what? no one reasonable is saying all russians are bad or all americans are bad. being born in a country does not automatically make you a fan of what their military does, that's just racist
"Racist" what the fuck man. World's smartest american just dropped.
