Ukraine now gets a free pass for literally everything because HURR DURR RUSSIA BAD! That was made official when Amnesty retracted their report about unethical Ukranian war tactics this month because people freaked out that they would DARE criticise anything about Ukraine. I'm convinced that they can literally open up an extermination camp for Russian POWs with gas chambers and the West will find a way to spin that as either "they need it to defeat Russia" or "Russians are even worse so that makes it okay", you know, the arguments they used to smear the Amnesty report.

And these are the people who accuse us (socialists) of "whataboutism".

I respect your perspective, even if I do not share it.
