The discussion was on whether Russia targets civilians or not. That is not really a function of whether Ukraine does.

If you want to drag Russia vs Ukraine in, obviously Russia is hugely worse as the aggressor with their rapes and torture chambers and the like. I'm not Ukrainian or Russian and I don't think I've seen a clearer good vs evil war in my lifetime.



>That is not really a function of whether Ukraine does

It's a function of what you call what the Ukraine does. If you use a report of an isolated episode to justify the claim that "Russia deliberately targets civilians" accompanying all Western reporting on Russian strikes, than you surely must accept the statement that "Ukrainian soldiers have swastika tatoos"[0]. Do you?

>with their rapes and torture chambers and the like

You forgot the infants raped with teaspoons and Viagra kits distributed to Russian soldiers, all according to Ukrainian sources and Western politicians and media. Having said that, I'm sure war crimes happen just like in any war.

>I don't think I've seen a clearer good vs evil war in my lifetime

That's exactly what Western media wants you to think. Russian state media wants Russians think the same.
