So your point is that Ukraine is committing genocide by forcing their citizens to defend their country? And somehow they are the bad guys, not the imperialist Russians?

Maybe I misunderstood, but if not, that is some impressive mental gymnastics.

Maybe, if the goal of Ukraine is to risk losing international support just to be able to… kill a few civilians? Sounds like a very risky and convoluted plan to achieve nothing good.

Not everything is about the US.
