What are you trying to say here? Russia is intentionally kidnapping children and murdering innocent non-combatants in a campaign of terror to break the spirit of Ukraine. They're launching cruise missiles into apartments and hospitals. They told their own soldiers that the Ukrainian people wanted Russian occupation so badly that their army sent riot police instead of regular army when they made their first push toward Kyiv. The US made a lot of mistakes but the soldiers on the ground did the best they could to not harm people. In the invasion of Ukraine murder of noncombatants is so routine that it's a matter of course to mention it.

It's disingenuous to claim that the US and Russia are exactly the same and that they both fought for the same things in both wars. The war in Ukraine is a land grab for Putin to expand his power.

Funny that you use a throwway while OP is using his real account to state opposite but equally risky positions.

> Russia is intentionally kidnapping children

Imagine that. Russia is removing orphans from a warzone. How awful of them. /s

> The war in Ukraine is a land grab for Putin to expand his power.

No. The land grab was by the EU and NATO. It wasn't russia that staged a coup in ukraine and ousted the democratically elected leader of ukraine. It was the EU and NATO. If russia was expanding into canada or mexico, we'd invade canada or mexico. Russia is liberating ukraine for national security reasons. We invaded iraq for oil. Big difference.
