Yes, Russia’s worse, and we all know it. But when we’re done fighting monsters we shouldn’t have become them.

When you are fighting for your survival from an enemy who has stated their goal is genocide of your peoples, you can do whatever the fuck you want to defend yourself from them.

Becoming the monster would be turning around and invading a smaller country.

You can do whatever the fuck you want

Yeah, Iraq should have gang raped more American POWs in self defense

gang raping American POWs didn't protect anyone. Actively killing the people who are currently trying to murder you with fire isn't meaningfully morally distinct than killing them with bullets.

And now they go silent.

The hypocrisy never ceases to amaze.

If you're aligned with the west, anything goes, without consequences. If not, you're a terrorist whether you like it or not.

What hypocrisy?? They made some ridiculously stupid comparison of combat methods with treatment of POWs, it's not the same thing at all lol
