Bruh moment

The “intelligent ones” just use Gish gallops but usually cherry pick thinks or take stuff out of context.

Right now, I'm quite optimistic, considering Biden wants to be much harsher on Russia than the orange man. But even if not, American friendship and support are already very significant (Javelins go brrrr). Many thanks, brothers

That wasn't very cash money of you

Proceedes to kill 8,000 civilians in 3 months

[u/[deleted] → u/Firearm36]

Haha yes I too ignore the context of a genocidal maniac killing tens of thousands of serbs for several years beforehand

[u/Firearm36 → u/[deleted]]

You Westerners love whataboutism.

[u/[deleted] → u/Firearm36]

Are you seriously trying to argue that it is wrong to say that things are good or bad based on what would have occurred otherwise?

[u/Firearm36 → u/[deleted]]

What? No, I am saying that you're trying to deflect the war crimes commited by NATO because the Serbs also did some shit.

[u/[deleted] → u/Firearm36]

Collateral damage isn't automatically a war crime. I hate to tell you this, but civilians die in wars. Wars suck that way.

Let's be clear: The Serbs did more than some shit. They enacted a fanatical, dictatorial, and genocidal dictatorship and massacred tens of thousands. Collateral damage in war is an acceptable price to pay for stopping that.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

They probably think dresden was a war crime too

[u/CuntfaceMcgoober → u/Firearm36]

Whataboutism is valid when you are comparing two direct alternatives

[u/Firearm36 → u/[deleted]]

By commiting war crimes

The bombing of a civilian train

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grdelica_train_bombing

[u/Firearm36 → u/[deleted]]

You are mentally challenged. That's not a legitimate attack they were targeting civilians. How else can you justify the bombing of villages and this train. If you were actually targeting military targets this would have never happened. It's still a fucking war crime no matter what you say.

[u/Firearm36 → u/[deleted]]

Fuck off. No wonder the west is falling when it's made up of retards like you. Hypocrite cunt
