And how does raping women fall into your categories? Is that some unintentional side effect of war? Or a willful act by a Russian soldier against a defenseless Christian woman or child?
In their own twisted way the leaders of Al Qaeda were doing the same thing. Are you a supporter of the people who flew airplanes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon?
They fervently believed that Afghanistan was a far better and moral place than the USA, and certainly what you call "our morally degenerate blue states". Do you agree with them too?
Do you also think the Christian Freepers who happen to live in blue states in the USA are morally degenerate?
Would Reagan approve of Putin sending HIV infected prisoners to invade his neighbors? Obviously, not. Reagan believed in the right of all people to live freedom and liberty. Obviously, you don’t. Your day dream of a fascist utopia in Russia is just that. A fantasy. Putin is a common thief and mass murderer. Shame on any American supporting him.
Putin forced his 6 months pregnant ex gymnast to abort her unborn child 2 months ago. He is not a Christian.
Baloney. It is well over 10k. And OSCE has indeed confirmed it. The war started because the coup leaders were smart enough to know they didn’t want surly Svoboda handing around Kiev.
But glad the Donbass was saved from the nazis....again.
LOL, you guys are funny. Now it’s HIV infected prisoners, sent to Ukraine to rape and invade... and release dirty bombs on themselves, while targeting 11 year olds with S300s.
You have turned into a parody of your silly self.
Just as a starting point, in 2021 OSCE reported 16 fatalities. Most of them resulted from civilians accidentally setting off unexploded ordnance or mines.
"Overall, including the above-mentioned cases, the Mission has corroborated 91 civilian casualties that occurred in 2021, including 16 fatalities and 75 injured injuries (60 men, 18 women, eight boys and five girls). Of these casualties, 36 were due to shelling, 12 due to small-arms fire and 43 due to mines, unexploded ordnance and other explosive objects."
During the period from 2017 to 2020 the OSCE found that there were 161 civilian fatalities as a result of the conflict in the Donbass area. Of those people 66 died from shelling, most died from accidents with unexploded ordnance and mines.
During the entire length of the fighting before Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022, from 2014 to the end of 2021, a total of 3,404 civilians were killed. That total includes the nearly 300 people killed when the Russians shot down a civilian Malaysian airplane. Many of the 3.404 civilians that were killed where not present on either the LNR, or the DNR's territory, and many were killed by Russian, LNR, or DNR artillery, mines, and gunfire.
"During the entire conflict period, from 14 April 2014 to 31 December 2021, OHCHR recorded a total of 3,106 conflict-related civilian deaths (1,852 men, 1,072 women, 102 boys, 50 girls, and 30 adults whose sex is unknown). Taking into account the 298 deaths on board Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 on 17 July 2014, the total death toll of the conflict on civilians has reached at least 3,404. The number of injured civilians is estimated to exceed 7,000.>"
The estimated losses among members of the Ukrainian military and the LNR and DNR militias is about 10,500 people. Of those 4,400 are members of the Ukrainian forces, and 6,500 are members of the various LNR and DPR militias involved in the combat.
There is no basis in reality to claim the "well over 10k" people were killed by the Ukrainian military. And all the stories about thousands of civilians in the Donbass dying due to Ukrainian shelling are nonsense. Civilians suffered from shelling from both sides, but the DPR, LNR, and their Russian allies did most of the shelling. You can't blame the Ukrainians for the deaths caused by gunfire and shelling done by the DPR, LNR, and Russian soldiers.
Sure, he did. And, similar sources say he’s dead now anyway so what difference does it make?!
Russia is enacting policies even red states can only dream of.
The Kremlin propaganda just gets more ludicrous by the day.
And by the way Dmitry, RuSSia IS Satan.
Cute little dance. Do you do it every time you see Putin? Or just when he’s shirtless?
Even dressed like that, he’s still better than Putler ever will be. LOL
Corrupt 50% atheist RuSSia is far worse.
Communism is a satanic war against mankind.
At the core of communism is personal greed of those at the top.
No one has suffered more under communism than the Russian people.
I pray that Navalny will survive his imprisonment and that RasPutin will be out of power soon.
Russia is killing Ukrainians, not the US. You might as well say that the US was killing the British with Lend lease, and not the Nazis. This is asinine and immoral KGB propaganda
Putin is a pedophile, who bombed Moscow in a false flag attack to take over Russia. The KGB Colonel is Soviet royalty set on restoring the Evil Empire.
He’s right to degree
Wokism is satanism largely
This is lost on people who don’t understand the culture
Lots of contradictions in this undeclared war …war
And hypocrisy
Russia invaded to free the Russians oppressed in Donbass
And for more materialistic and political reasons as well
Whatever helps you sleep best at night.
The Donbass is opressed by Russia and its colonists. You are on the wrong side just like the broken conservative and reactionary fools who betrayed their countries and Western Civilization by backing the Nazis
