    Russia has very specifically avoided killing civilians and has generally followed international law regarding the war, including the biggest one of “Don’t start a war of aggression” as their invasion can be considered an intervention in Ukraines ongoing genocide in the Donbas

    Not saying they haven’t killed any civilians or anything, but they haven’t deliberately targeted civilians or civilian infrastructure and have followed proper procedure for civilian evacuation corridors and things like that.

    The first American target in Iran was an elementary school. The first people killed by America in Iran were elementary schoolers. The priority target of the American war in Iran is 5 year olds.
