    Usually they just say there are no civilians in Russia and Ukraine killing ANY Russian is completely justified. Not the other way around though.

    Also parallels their thoughts on Israel vs Palestine. Israel can kill any Palestinian and be “self defense” but when it comes to Israelis suddenly they care about the civilian distinction.

        (paraphrased) Murdering civilians is what Russia does. Why are you suggesting Ukraine do it?

        It’s the only thing Russia will understand.

        Later: “Noooo, I never said that Ukraine should murder civilians!”

            One of my favorite kind of lemmitors on the fediverse is the “how dare you read the things I wrote” kind, where they start backpedaling only after getting massive backlash and then expect people to automatically believe their “clarifications” are sincere.
