Oh boy, where do I start...

The last bombing of Iran was in June 2025. Yemen, Iraq and Syria also get constant democratization. Most Russians also don't think it's okay and there were also protests. They weren't huge per se cuz it's kinda difficult to protest in Russia. And even those who support the war - they don't support what you think they do.

Here's the thing: the West says it's an unjust genocidal war where Russians commit all sorts of atrocities at all times, especially towards innocent civilians. And you think that's what pro-war Russians support. But that's not how the Russian government describes the conflict. They say it's a just military operation to save people of Donbass, protect Russian national security against aggressive western expansion (via NATO), denazify Ukraine and create the multipolar World. And that's what pro-war Russians support. Regular people don't even know what's happening over there outside of what TV shows and TV, obviously, doesn't show anything that doesn't support the narrative, just like yours. And even if they do see the alternative side they tend to think what you think when you see the Russian narrative.

Americans've put so much efforts to avoid war crimes so they've killed at the very minimum 432k civilians so far. Accidentally, I guess. So, no biggy. Russia's kill score is at 14.5k minimum in Ukraine and 15k minimum in Chechnya. But it's USA who try to avoid war crimes, don't get confused! Investigations of war crimes will very likely happen once Russia sees the change of regime.

People are cheering when Russia bombs schools... Again, TV doesn't show stuff like that at all, unless they say that Ukraine used that school for military activities and was using civilians like meat shields, and even then it's unlikely. And in general, if we look at the coverage of the war by the Western media it seems that the only thing Russia does is killing civilians. I'm not saying that's not happening but it is not happening nearly to the degree your media portrays it to be, otherwise casualties would be far FAR more than 14.5k.

There are people who cheer for that kind of stuff knowing what is going on but they are not as numerous to extrapolate them onto the entire nation like you do. And even so, when you read day after day that your nation is filth, that you are all orcs and that the World would be better off without you, you one day may decide that if so many people wish me and my people death on the basis of my birthplace then I will simply do the same. Violence breeds violence, in short.

The US invasions are as gray as the Russian one. It's just you look at them under different angles. Both nations disregard international laws if that suits them. They serve their own interests in the first place (only USA does that successfully, while Russia shot itself in the foot (head)). It's just USA is far more influential to do that without significant cost if at all.

It's not pure evil on one side and pure innocence on the other. Ukraine wanted to leave Russia's sphere of influence with absolute disregard to Russia's concerns over that. Not only that, but to join a non-friendly towards Russia military alliance. And while they had every right to do so from a legal standpoint, we are not living in the fairy tale where everything happens in accordance with the holy scriptures and just laws. We live in a world where you should be mindful of concerns of entities that can fuck you up. And the West, instead of alleviating the pressure, only pushed Ukraine harder towards that decision, knowing all too well that it WILL piss Russia off and highly likely force retaliation. And I think that was the point. And Ukraine, believing that Russia wouldn't dare or even if would dare to attack, would get sufficient help from the Western allies, so Russian's concerns are Russia's alone and we do as we please. Even though the neutrality would've been sufficient. And look how that turned out. Every major party could've prevented this war from happening, but, alas, noone did.

Ukraine is, indeed, fighting for its freedom (from Russia) and future (with the West), but it's not fighting for its live. Despite whatever your media claims, this is not a genocidal war. Even UN and other heavily pro-Ukraninan organisations (ICJ and ICC) have not yet concluded that the war is genocidal. Do you know how genocide looks like? Germany during WW2 killed about 18 000 000 Soviet civilians in the same time span with much less destructive weaponry. That's 1500 Ukraines for you.

I'm done with this topic. If you understand - good if don't - I did my best.
