This reads like an ironic shitpost. No one can seriously believe that one person saying mean things can rationalize an invasion that's killing thousands and hurtsling food security for millions.

Tbf "Asians are subhuman" is what the nazis used to justify killing millions of Russians, Ukrainians, and other USSR ethnicities. Millions of ukrainian red army soldiers are rolling in their graves.

  1. I can't find one source for this that doesn't come back to elrisala.

  2. Even if this story is true, one asshole doesn't justify the genocide that Russia is committing in Ukraine.

  3. Even if this story is true, it happened long after Russia started their "special military operation" and can't be used to justify it.
