    As for Ukrainians calling all Russians orcs I cannot blame them after the horrors of Bucha, Olevnika, Mariupol, the endless targeting of infrastructure, all while the general Russian population not only doesn’t care but openly support it.

    But you would have cried foul over Poles cursing Germans in 1945 too pointing out innocent Germans did possibly exist, so I don’t care too much.

      Rape of Nanking = Japanese internment is ok, got it. You have confirmed my suspicions, thank you.

      No I wouldnt have because i recognize the difference in materially different situations.

      I am personally against Putin’s decision to invade, and DEFINITLY against any warcrimes commited. Though I will say, targeting infrastructure is part of war, not a warcrime. And Putin isn’t just some evil ork who decided to invade for no reason. There are material reasons why the invasion happened, even if I’m against the decision. And the reasons aren’t lebensraum.
