      Your friend is by your own logic then as innocent of the killing in that war is Putin is of the killing in Ukraine. He hasn’t shot anyone, just like your friend.

        There is simply no fucking way you’re trying to say a grunt has as much responsibility as the dictator. I simply cannot entertain this lmao

          Those are your words. If you think Putin is a murderer your friend is a murderer. Deal with it, friend of murderers.

        I’m not the one trying to suggest bums working on AC units in the states shoulder the same responsibility as hired guns and professional soldiers.

      There certainly exists Russian military personnel that did not serve outside Russia. I bet you would not consider them as innocent as your friend.

      Yeah you sure are good at determining my ‘stupid games’, you really got me there buddy. At least I know what to tag you.

      Tag me a Russian shillbot if it makes you feel better.

        Why would you assume this?

        Beyond which, to hate the U.S. military for their crimes one must hate the Russian military for theirs — lest they make themselves out to be a hypocrite. I don’t care if you want to call out the U.S. military, do not act like the Russians are guiltless or somehow deserving of compassion. I will feel no more compassion for them than I will U.S. soldiers in the event of an invasion of Canada or Greenland.

          I never acted as if the Russians are guiltless for invading Ukraine, it’s you that’s acting as if Americans are guiltless for invading Iraq. That said both peoples are still human.

          Care to explain why you disregard the invasion of Iraq that’s already happened and focus on a hypothetical invasion of Canada or Greenland?
