"One Ukranian attack on children is coincidence, twice is Russian propaganda, 4 or 5 is uhhh i don't see anything here"
-Liberals
Meanwhile Russia levels schools, hospitals, daycare centers and just common residential buildings on a daily basis and has been doing so for quite a while. Also, kidnapping children from Ukraine and depositing them to brain wash centers for 're-training'.

If they were actually doing those things, US and Ukranian media (but I repeat myself) would never stop talking about it. Every discussion of the war would begin with "but do you condemn the Russian crime at (place)". In reality, every conversation about the war involves someone like you performing desperate pro-fascist whataboutism without even any evidence to point to, just the idea of evidence. Just "it is known". We've been paying attention since 2014 and have receipts for the things we say, you started paying attention four years ago and have "it is known."
You have the standard liberal approach to understanding the world: layers of mythology built atop one another, enforced with unbearable smug hostility and it is known. Absolute unreality pronounced with absolute baseless conviction. Speaking of which, I've spent the last several years being told that the Russian Federation is on the brink of military collapse, and that they have run out of ammo approximately seven times now. Can you account for this discrepancy, or has the time when these things were known already slipped down the memory hole?
