    Many downvotes, no rebuttals. They just cling to “But Russian invaded!” Okay then, do you condemn the Allied forces illegal invasion of Italy on June 6, 1944? Italy wasn’t doing anything to America, the UK and Canada!

    Still laughing about that article talking about the warhammer 40k novels no longer getting a Ukrainian localization where they were interviewing someone in the military with the callsign “Shekel”. Like holy shit.

    These silly “russians are the actual good guys” memes are so sad and silly. They want land and power they dont care who the ukranians are.

        You can say someone is an instigator without supporting either but civilians are being killed that arent nazis or soldiers, which is not justifiable.

        War isnt sports.

            Your inability to read.

            The US murdered people en masse in japan during WW2, are they off the hook because nazi’s were part of the axis powers and the US wasnt,

            Dont be obtuse.More than one group can be bad at once. Ukraine having nazi’s doesn’t make Russia anyone to be supported. You can hate them both and you dont have to pick a side.

              If one side is supporting nazis and the other isn’t then the side chooses itself, provided you’re not a fucking nazi of course
