My heart breaks for all the poor children who have died in Ukraine by the hands of Russians.
Isn’t it horrible?
Do we need a dead children dick waving competition? All power to Ukraine but you can go fuck yourself.
Yes it is horrible and whatever atrocities that Russia is committing in Ukraine is a small subset of what is being committed by Israel.
If Russia had more control over the region or if Putin had as much lobbying power as the state of Israel, I am sure he would not shy of genocide as well. But that does not change the facts.
So you have to make everything about Ukraine... A nation with 350 billion military and aid given if not way way more. Go fuck yourself you absolute cretin
Russia isn't trying to exterminate all children in Ukraine.
During the Russo-Ukrainian War,[3] Russia has forcibly transferred almost 20 thousand Ukrainian children to areas under its control, assigned them Russian citizenship, forcibly adopted them into Russian families, and created obstacles for their reunification with their parents and homeland.[7][8]The United Nations has stated that these deportations constitute war crimes.[8][9] The International Criminal Court (ICC) has issued arrest warrants for President of Russia Vladimir Putin[10](who has explicitly supported the forced adoptions, including by enacting legislation to facilitate them)[1]and Children's Rights Commissioner Maria Lvova-Belova for their alleged involvement.[10] According to international law, including the 1948 Genocide Convention, such acts constitute genocide if done with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a nation or ethnic group.[11][a]
I believe this is what liberals call "whataboutism"
Wutt?
What's horrible is to bring it up here, you fucking idiot. Tone deaf much?
My heart broke for all the peace music festival children who were targeted by the Palestinians.
Edit: I don't get why there are so many sick fucks on Lemmy that downvote not liking killing kids. Absolutely disgusting people.
