    Bad take. Russia is absolutely committing genocide in Ukraine. Bombing thousands of civis isn’t just an accident. They literally bombed random cars for no reason. This is just denying the genocide and pro Russian propaganda.

      Pointing out that civilian deaths happen on both sides and that not every strike is necessarily intentional is not “denying genocide” or Russian propaganda.

      It’s possible for both things to be true: Russia is committing serious war crimes, and Ukraine has also caused civilian casualties (sometimes intentionally, sometimes not). The rush to smear any nuance as propaganda is exactly what prevents honest discussion.

        You kind of broad brushed every civilian casualty as an accident on both sides. Pointing that out isn’t smearing nuance, as YOU were not being nuanced.

          Every misrepresentation of what others have said is a confession about your own character.

          I’m explicitly talking about drones hitting apartment buildings. I’ve made no comment about civilian deaths outside of that.

          What reason would Ukraine have to target a skyscraper in Moscow? None. It was clearly jammed and hit whatever ended up in its path.
