Compare Kherson (liberated after being conquered by Russia without a siege due to a corrupt traitor) to Mariupol or Bakhmut (under Russian assault for a long time).

Russian assaults are just hundreds of dumb artillery guns firing non stop to try and reduce the other side to rubble. And of course cruise missiles launched at civilian targets. You’ll find countless examples of areas that are just leveled.

Ukraine doesn’t do that. They have precise weapons that they do fire into occupied areas. They certainly aren’t randomly firing shells into their own cities for the lols.

One army is mostly exercising maneuver warfare. The other one is mostly digging-in inside apartments. Yes there are examples of both sides doing both. The truth isn't a nice collection of anecdotes though.

The truth is overwhelmingly one sided. It’s not close, at all. Ukraine is not a flawless actor but that isn’t an excuse to completely disregard the magnitude of offenses.

Other non-flawless actors — US in the liberation of France and occupation of Germany.

But many, especially it seems on the American right, like to “both sides” no matter how clear cut.
