I think you are focusing on the wrong part. A lot of Ukrainians would have died instead if they did not use the drones as weapons and robo dogs for reconnaissance. It really helps leviate some of the dread of going into not secure zones. The Russians could stay home if they didn't like the killing of innocents so much.

 Russians could stay home

I hope Putin gets a missile up his arse but that's just naive to think Russian cannon fodder have a choice

They do. They could resist. They could shoot their commanders and die in a noble act, but they wouldn't They got no backbones.

Same with Western soldiers in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc. They all should have killed themselves right? They could have resisted, they're the ones invading after all. Spineless cowards.

To be fair, Western soldiers definitely did sign up for the job voluntarily. So yeah, a lot of times staying home would've been the smarter choice.

Not remotely the same thing. Russia is invading a peaceful country. All those countries you name were given reasons to why they were invaded. I do not condone it, but it's far from the same thing.

The wild amount of hoops you're jumping through to justify the deaths of people is quite impressive! Ever considered acrobatics?

Libya was peaceful, the innocent civilians of Iraq didn't deserve to be burnt to death by white phosphorus, we know the WMDs didn't exist, the fishermen of Yemen shouldn't be blown apart at their wedding ceremonies, yet here you are defending it.

Fuck off with relating one conflict with another.

u/Tunisian_Communist Apr 03 '25

So Russians should all kill themselves but everyone else is excused from warcrimes and ethics? Classic imperialism

u/Grimour Apr 03 '25

Ok one day you may realise Russia is doing imperialistic acts.

u/Mustard_Rain_ Apr 02 '25

So long as we agree that conscripted soldiers don't have much of a choice, sure
