Yes, I even went on a march to show my disdain, did I see you there?

But just counter your whataboutism, can you highlight where the USA/U.K. forces repeatedly massacred civilians and put them into mass graves in Iraq & Afghanistan?

Well there's the depleted uranium munitions that are still causing
issues for the afghan population

Will the Russian invaders send soldiers around to ensure appropriate peaceful self-determination, like they did recently?

Don't suppose you remember this but years ago we were discussing South Ossetia and I was adamant the people that lived there should have the right to choose, even going as far as saying I'd be happy for Cornwall to go if that's what they wanted, don't mind admitting now that I was ignorant of what was going on, the gerrymandering of the population by shipping in settlers and the like

I am not a Russian apologist I am a realist and the west is not innocent by a long long shot it is just we hold the moral high ground due to the fact we are the victors so far

up to 207K Civilian deaths caused by both sides. It is very nieve to think a good portion of those were collateral damage from Allied attacks. One would assume there would have been mass graves when large numbers were killed in attacks, I do not know |
Difference is they aren't put in those graves with a bullet behind the ear, pithy comments like it doesn't matter to the dead only carry weight if you don't give a toss about international law
