    the oil industry.

    I guess it’s cool to kill civilians when they’re roughnecks?

    It’s not that I didn’t know any of these

    Strange that you would pretend ignorance up front

      I think your implication that a strike on Russian oil infrastructure that kills a civilian working there is equivalent to a strike on a Ukrainian apartment building is wack.

        I’ve heard Americans say the same about Middle Eastern casualties weighed against Israelis.

        Certain people’s lives simply don’t matter.

        I was searching through RIA Novosty feed (ew) for some solid 10 minutes to find at least one mention of someone getting killed in Ukrainian strike at Russian oil bases. They didn’t even bother making up any casualties despite never providing any sources in their Telegram channel and sometimes writing some wildest shit Russian propaganda has to offer.

        So even that point is extremely wrong even if one was to play devil’s advocate and say that strike on apartment complex and strike on oil industry (that literally fuels the invasion) are equal. That person just constructed a narrative where Ukraine is to blame for being invaded.
