    How do you think the Ukrainians are receiving better training than the Russians? Not that it matters, I’m going to change my mind about sending conscripts to the front, whether they receive 2 weeks or 6 months of training or whether the Russians are doing the same thing. I’m not cheering on Russia’s war effort, you’re cheering on Ukraine’s.

    You think it matters to most people who controls what territory? Do you really think a country that has soldiers (whole units!) proudly wearing SS and other Nazi shit are some paragons of virtue towards civilians? It clearly would be best for civilians if the fighting stops as soon as possible.

    If you believe all this stuff about good vs evil I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

      One side has some units wearing Nazi iconography. The other side has state sanctioned torture, killings and deportations (and also Nazi iconography). Your comparison is a textbook example of false equivalence.
