This is Russia’s war. These acts are playing by the rules Russia insists upon.
Would you have Ukraine just take an endless onslaught of “barbaric acts” from Russia without any regard for the common rules of war? Because that is what will happen if Russia’s heinous violence is not brought right back to them.
Let Russians experience war-torn homes and villages for themselves. Let them experience the hell that Russia has visited upon Ukraine every day for the last 2 years so they can decide if they still support Pinche Puta and his genocide of Ukrainians.
Unless you want Ukraine’s strategy to be forced into an insurgency fighting a full occupation, they need Western weapons and munitions to keep the up the current fight.
You’re advocating that they literally start intentionally burning civilians alive, which would be one the quickest and more surefire way to end that support, which is already becoming more fragile as the war drags on.
Ukraine is an extensional fight for survival and I DON’T believe in overly moralizing the deaths of Russian civilians, but how they are actually killed matters. If they are nearby an assassins bomb, or an exploding military factory, is entirely different then launching banned weapons like White Phosphorus over their town for the express purpose of burning them alive.
If you’re Ukrainian, I understand the impulse. However I stand by my assessment of how that type of attack will ultimately blowback and critically impact your ability to win this war on your own terms, but I get it the raw hatred.
If you’re a Western observer, I’m genuinely concerned about you, and others like you. This level of dehumanizing civilians and wanting to see them burned alive is poisonous, both to your own mental health, but also to public discourse, and ultimately, to Ukraine’s ability to defeat Russia regain full control of it’s country, and secure their right to self determination.
So you (would) support those barbaric acts?
I mean, just so I can put you in the right bucket.
