    From my perspective Ukrainian strikes are carried out in self defense

    And that’s the problem. Any amount of bloodletting is permissible if you stick “I think they’re defending themselves” in front of it.

    So long as you’re aligned with the US of course.

      So, searching through Russian news, I found like 1 mention of any casualties in 10 successful oil industry strikes.

      So that’s just mostly peaceful civilian oil bases getting hit, that supply peaceful oil to peaceful refineries that then supply peaceful gas to peaceful Russian war logistics and other parts of their peaceful war machine.

      You’re just holding Ukraine by much higher standards. While Russia deliberately kills civilians and then says “US made us do it”, so it’s okay. And Ukraine trying to carefully disarm the aggressor can also be labeled just as bad as aggression itself and blamed on US.

      Man, your worldview is so warped it hurts. And worst of all - you’ve tried to tell a Ukrainian that we should just “get over that” while Russia continues to do terroristic acts just for the sake of doing them.
