We killed far more civilians in Iraq than the Russians are killing in Ukraine. And, we had far less of reason to be in Iraq for either war.
Why in the hell in Syria now?
“There are still bombed out buildings standing in Serbia as reminder to what we did”
The Ministry of Communications building? Valid Military target, using only force proportional to the target. It is nothing like the deliberate Russian carpet shelling and rocketing of civilian residences, with no combatants in them, and no Military value beyond the expressly illegal purpose of terrorizing the civilian population. 90% of the civilian housing stock in Mariupol struck. 97% in Popasna.
You apologists for this demonic brutality against unarmed women and children are sinners as well. Shame on you. If it were your wife or children being murdered like that, you would likely not be so cavalier. The old moral equivalency canard, standard propaganda of the old Soviet communists, is still actively resorted to by the new ones, when their heinous barbarism is beyond any rational defense.
The war crimes trials are being actively prepared. The guilty will be hunted, tried and punished. The reparations bill is already about a trillion dollars. But money alone cannot pay for spiritual damage done to so many, only Hell fire can do that. It has been well earned, and is inescapable.
“Russians reportedly attacked a civilian tug boat accompanying the grain transports and killed two crewmembers.”
This was a separate incident (a smal river grain barge near the mouth of the Dniper and Bug Rivers), far from the convoy of huge ocean going grain ships that the Turks and UN led from Odessa.
The tug pushing the river barge was hit by fire from the Russian Army on land, possibly a stray Artillery shell.
The Russian Navy came nowhere near the rain convoy, and additional grain ships got underway last night.
Reread your last 2 lines. You just agreed with my thought which you had called nonsense. A little inconsistent on your part.
Nonsense
Oh, at any cost ? Sounds like don’t lose to me.
This from someone that has backed a nation that used neo-Nazis as its frontline fighters and has used civilians as human shields, intentionally targeted civilians in Donetsk and shelled a nuclear power plant in an attempt to cause a nuclear meltdown.
This is the ultimate example of projection. Everything you claim is true about Russia is actually true about Ukraine. Most of the rest of the world outside of the west knows that.
Kazan is a Tatar city occupied by anti-nationalist Russia
