Or just maybe when you self identified as Russian?
Santara. Please explain it to me, because I am truly having a hard time understanding how you take up the position that you do.
You're in the US military. Therefore, you should know that a million or so people died because of the invasion of Iraq and many tens of thousands more died due to the invasion of Afghanistan. You should know that the original reasons (chemical weapons and OBL) were proven false, that there were no chemical weapons in Iraq and that OBL turned out not to be in Afghanistan.
You should know about how tens of thousands were killed during during Obama's "no fly zone" in Libya. You should know how thousands more were killed during the US airstrikes on ISIS in Syria, which were often indiscriminate.
But now you're up in arms over Ukraine? How is Russia's operation ANY worse than what the US has done multiple times over the past few decades? Do the lives of all the brown people killed by US airstrikes and sanctions just not matter? I mean for God's sake, we've literally got youtube footage of Madeline Albright justifying the mass murder of half a million Iraqi babies by sanctions. "We believe it was worth it."
Please tell me how you do it. How can you withstand the mountain of hypocrisy you're standing on? I truly do not understand how you do it.
