Lmao there it is. When there's credible accusations leveled at Ukraine, suddenly it's no big deal because everyone does it, but mostly the side you're against, which isn't okay.
I'm not claiming the inherent evil of anywhere, I'm not a racist fucking lib. I'm saying there were crimes being perpetrated against the Ukrainian people, and they defended themselves and asked Russia to aid them, which was their right.
Whatever you've gone through, it doesn't make it any less disgusting to weaponize trauma to invalidate the struggle of others. Jewish people went through the Holocaust, it doesn't make their shouts of antisemitism at the slightest criticism valid, nor does it justify the deflection from their own crimes. But I can't say I'm surprised by how low gringos will go to paint their incessant war profiteering as virtue.
