What number of civilians have to die before your defensive war is an unacceptable war of aggression now?

Did the Allied counter offensive against the Nazis come in below that number? How about the Union during the US civil war?

You people are pro-war whenever it's convenient for you I guess. Those comparisons are out of line and clearly different as I already explained.

Sounds like you're the one who's pro-war whenever it's convenient for you. When it's not convenient, you just say "that's different!" And refuse to elaborate.

So you support America invading the Middle East when a hostile government oppresses separatists that ally themselves with the US there?

Because it's exactly like what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

So what makes it different that you can support Russia's brutal invasion?

How did Russia invade the Donbas by putting troops in it after being invited? Please admit that the answer is that you actually believe the Donbas is Ukraine and don't care about its people's self determination so I can quit asking you this question that you have been dodging for like an hour now.

You are bad faith, intellectually dishonest people.

Speak for yourself, you are the one trying to put words in my mouth.
