I know some might find that hard to believe coming from me, but there are things America does not do. Torture soldiers, make a sport of killing the enemy, or conduct genocidal war. Have we? Yes most likely. And there should have been sever consequences for it. There were not.
It was a war crime when the Russians did It, and a war crime for us to do it. It isn't who we are, supposed to be.

And American soldiers get involved eventually you'll be OK with tit for tat? They did it so we can do it so now everyone can just ignore war crimes? That doesn't seem like the way to go.

I feel like that should be in a museum somewhere. It looks like a painting. Completely gripping.

on Putin. No one man should have the power to murder so many innocent people! Get rid of Putin and end the Ukrainian war!

$1M for a fighter jet. $500k for helicopters.

We should raise and expand them to get the orcs to surrender.

As it is now, we Americans are being called hypocrites for condemning Russia’s invasion of Ukraine all the while we tore up the Middle East. I hate being accused of supporting US actions which I did not condone.

We don’t need to start being inhumane to Russian soldiers who are fighting because the alternative is either Siberia, or a firing squad, or a re-education camp, or some atrocities to their family. Yes, some of the soldiers are committing war crimes, but some are just doing the job.

War is horrible.
