NATO is not "my army" since it is an international military and has nothing to do with nationalism or protecting what is mine which you are suggesting. They simply have the most laws protecting civilians. Again, they are not perfect but have the most protections of innocents. They are not the "*sole arbiters" of what is moral, for each country can have their own laws protecting civilians and defining war crimes.

Imagine thinking everyone in the civilized world isn't already familiar with Russian propaganda.

You keep specifying you are "in the English speaking world", why would you have to specify that all the time. You sure you're not a Russian bot?

"Most likely has nothing to do with that woman" - Probably doesn't have anything to do with alt women, just ragebait.

NATO basically dictates what is considered a war crime and dictates international laws and trains their military accordingly. It is the most ethical military there is. Of course it may not be perfect, but its the best we've got.

I guess you have your own definition of war crimes and international laws that is better than NATO which is a literal tankie that studies war and international laws.

Ukraine does not target civilians, if you ask anyone aside from the kremlin of course. (Are you getting your information from the kremlin?) 🧐

Yes I already addressed this, if you read my previous comments: 'Of course just saying "the other guys are worse" is problematic, but I repeat Ukrainian soldiers did not try to hurt civilians.'

What I am saying is not simply that Russia killed more civilians so Ukraine is ok. I am saying that Ukrainian's attacks are fundamentally different since they target strategic positions (which may or may not have civilians) rather than targeting civilian infrastructure. Ukrainian attacks are accepted by NATO and does not violate any international laws. In fact a lot of Ukrainian soldiers were trained by NATO countries and follow their rules and standards.

I am surprised you haven't heard of it, for I constantly see people talking about it.

Well here is the FBI talking about the war crimes Russia has done: https://www.fbi.gov/investigate/civil-rights/international-human-rights-unit/russian-war-crimes-in-ukraine

It doesn't say much, but the title explicitly says Russian war crimes. Though the article does not explain what war crimes Russia has committed, I chose the FBI's government website so that you don't imply its an untrusted source. Of course there are many other sources that cover this, since you can just google it (or Firefox it since we are in the fediverse) and there will be thousands of evidence, but you are just to lazy to research yourself.

Unlike Russia, Ukraine mostly only targets military facilities. Of course there could be civilian casualties, like maybe in the oil refineries they bombed inside Russia, but they DON'T target civilians, but the strategic positions which may have civilians. Meanwhile Russia DOES target civilians in hospitals and schools.

I admit there are probably civilian casualties caused by Ukraine, but its an ant. Now lets address the elephant in the room: Russian caused civilian casualties and war crimes.

The article that ClathrateG sent describes a drone attack Ukraine did on an airbase which had MILITARY aircraft and shells. What they (edit: they = Ukrainians) did not know was that Russia also was hidding nuclear shells which exploded, which led to the attack doing more damage and unintentionally hurting civilians.

Most likely has nothing to do with that specific woman. Maybe just anti-hair color ragebait? Some are saying Ukrainian soldiers are war criminals for this, probably didn't hear how Russians are INTENTIONALLY bombing hospitals. Of course just saying "the other guys are worse" is problematic, but I repeat Ukrainian soldiers did not try to hurt civilians.
