Killing civilians is not retaliation. It's a specifically prohibited war crime, with punishment up to death for those responsible. It's not supposed to ever happen, regardless of which side you're on.

If someone kills your family member, you don't get to kill a family member of theirs and call it even. That's not how any of this works. If societies operated like this, we'd all be dead already.

By your logic - you wouldn't mind being pointlessly slaughtered just because your government (that you didn't vote for) decided to arbitrarily invade another country (which you protested against), would you? Or having a global nuclear wasteland, because that's the only thing endless escalation leads to?

You don't get to invade a country and maintain any sort of moral high ground. Israel, the US, Russia. It's all the same shit at the end of the day.

It doesn't matter who's invading whom. Killing civilians is despicable, period. Anyone responsible for it should be held accountable to the highest degree possible. Regardless which side they're from. Both Ukraine and Russia, just like both US and Iran should answer for all crimes committed. There are no excuses for any of this.

Being a victim of an invasion doesn't immediately give you immunity or permission to do whatever the hell you feel like doing. Just like if someone breaks into your house, you don't get to do the same or worse to them.
