        If Ukraine kicked down Russian doors and gunned down families or purposely targeted unarmed civilians, sure, they would be the bad guys in that situation.

        Anyone who commits war crimes should be called out, and the perpetrators held accountable.

            Staging equipment in populated areas is hardly the same as gunning down civilians. If you put an unarmed, defenseless person in your sights and pull the trigger, you’re a fucking monster. That’s not defensive, that’s murder.
