Um, it's not the same because Ukraine never attacked civilians you dumb tankies! Donbas? No, I haven't heard of it. No, why would I do the barest amount of research into the things I claim to care about? That's what CNN is for.

I've seen takes where they go "oh Donbas was filled with Russian thugs and gangsters anyways so they deserve to be gunned down like animals"

Crackers, never once.

I’ve seen liberals say that Ukraine striking their own citizens with missiles is Russia’s fault because if they didn’t invade Ukraine wouldn’t have made the mistake.

I agree with this logic to an extent. But surely liberals would apply the same logic to Palestinians and the deaths of Israelis right???

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

liberals would apply the same logic

Liberals don't apply logic to facts to arrive at a conclusion. They apply rhetoric to CNN articles until they arrive at their predetermined bias.

I wonder how many people tut-tutting this were cheering at videos of Ukrainian soldiers executing prisoners and brutalizing "collaborators"

Unlike Russia and Hamas, Ukraine is not murdering civilians.

Ok so our suspicions have been confirmed and it literally is just "but Ukrainians are white"

Prolly for the best if I avoid liberals discussing foreign policy for a bit
