If at the beginning of the war, Ukraine had literally sent in execution death squad to liquidate Russians for no reason, an porportatrate response is justified. That is how international law works. What wouldn’t be is an collective punishment.
There’s just so much wrong with this, from top to bottom. I don’t think the problem is “no history more than two years old” so much as it is “pure propaganda that insulates you from any narrative that doesn’t reinforce the domestic agenda”. Clearly, they do know about the Ukraine War. They do know, vaguely, how it started. And they do entirely blame this on the Russian military, so its all good. Add in this incredibly cool view of international law that states “I can’t commit a war crime if you committed one first”.
Even then, if the US was allied with Palestine rather than Israel, this person would have ingested a completely different view of history. Combine that with a baseline disgust for semitic and slavic peoples across the West, and I can’t help but suspect an underlying sentiment of “two primitive lesser races genocide themselves is good for us Masters” pervades the entire discourse. We get to talk cavalierly about these wars because, in the end, no matter who loses its the Western Hegemony that get to come in and pick up the pieces and claim sovereignty over everyone else.
Every civil war is, at its heart, another Yugoslavia. And they’re just clearing out a new frontier for us to colonize later.
