      To be clear, they are also attempting mass murder. They’re targeting civilian buildings and populations centers with long range missiles and drones at least 2-3 times a week. Them not succeeding much is another matter entirely.

        To be also clear. I 100℅ agree with you. The others are just a bit clearer case to make though. But absolutely, once or twice an “oopsy doodle” war crime is unacceptable. The consistent targeting is damning. Unfortunately the situation with the Nazis. Kind of throws everything out of whack scale-wise. Anything less than that and people stubbornly refuse to even treat it similarly. The fact that ukrainians aren’t being held in concentration camps and led off the gas Chambers somehow means it’s not really genocide? Which is bullshit. But they absolutely will try to argue against it.

          Oh they’ll also argue Holodomor didn’t exist, which was way way worse than the current situation. Or whatever the fuck was happening in Poland before 1941. It doesn’t matter what arguments you present to tankies, they’ve already pre-picked their Good Camp and that means whatever their camp does is Good™.

            Yep, that’s usually tell them “that’s very maga of you”. Because it unironically is identical behavior.

        100%. Yeah, it’s actually low key insulting how they pretend to care what the united States did to my peoples. (1st nations residential schools and even mass graves) But be dismissive or in denial when their pet states are involved. Whether its Ukrainians or Uhygers.
