The child who threw the first punch would have a longer timeout than the one who was calling names. Doesn’t make name-calling okay.

One country decided to invade the other and begin murdering thousands of people. That is objectively more heinous than whatever internal conflict was previously happening in Ukraine. I’m confident of that because Ukrainian cities and civilians weren’t being blown up every day, before.

There’s a time and place for analysis, nuance, and evaluating both sides. And there’s a time for condemning inhumane behavior for what it is.

And right now, it’s the leader of the invading country who went live in air to announce that he hasn’t killed enough civilians yet.

Sometimes it isn’t that complicated.

yeah i am talking about this situation

two childs get into a conflict

child 1 punches child 2 in the face

child 2 responds! and in this moment you open the door as an adult and child 2 punches child 1 in the face

now you also got wo kids who sometimes lie.

so you cant just blame child 2

your view of the situation is a locked view

you have to see the picture from all angles right?

Pretty sure Ukraine didn’t blow up a bunch of Russian cities prior to the invasion. It’s not that complicated.

I’ll support criticism of any state or leader who acts horribly. Right now the criticism is for Putin. Like I said, I’m not interested in whataboutism. The guy in charge of Russia gave orders to murder a bunch of his neighbors. It’s horrible. Simple as that.
