I really do think that liberals should take a hard look at themselves. They don't flinch to call Russian soldiers orcs, and ascribe to their foreign policy a mindless bloodthirst. Do they think of US soldiers the same way? Or US foreign policy (even under someone like darling Obama)? Seriously: who is more "evil" Putin or Obama? By what measure?

when hamas does it it's genocidal intent, when ukraine/israel do it is self-defence.
what? no one reasonable is saying all russians are bad or all americans are bad. being born in a country does not automatically make you a fan of what their military does, that's just racist
"Racist" what the fuck man. World's smartest american just dropped.
I don't think you know what racist means.
Splitting hairs. If you think a group of people are intrinsically worse than others, you are effectively racist.
We can come up with new names, but ultimately it's all the same. If you think racism means black vs white then your understanding is kindergarten level.
If you prefer, we can use the term bigoted. That term also covers other intrinsic groups like trans, gay and disabled people among others.
Fine, it's discriminating against people based on national origin. Whatever you call it it's stupid
I think destroying my family is worse. Death to America.
It isn’t “fuck the [imperialist/authoritarian nation] government and its enforcers” for most people?
Russia isn't imperialist. Imperialism isn't when invasion or when big country is bad
Authoritarian is a useless pejorative as every nation that has been or currently is is "authoritarian".
Both, both is good
Also works for them saying bomb them.
fuck those dirty Russians Ukraine should bomb all the cities
So you want them to hit civilians?
no I meant only places without people but still they need to retaliate
Then why say bomb the cities?
stop twisting my words when I want they're the evil bad ones
Who's out here saying Ukraine should bomb "all the cities"? Most people from the first frame of OP would also be saying stop the bombing, not bomb more. E.g. stop the bombing of Palestine etc.
here's one I ran into just last week, someone claiming to have been unfairly modded on .ml, when they had received a temp ban because they were actually advocating for collective punishment of russian civilians "because it's the only thing that Russia will understand":
Murdering civilians is what Russia does.
Which side made a post stamp out of blowing up a family car with kids onboard >_>
Stop knocking over their straw man! They worked so hard to prop it up.
