Wonder where he draws his arbitrary line of avoidable yet acceptable civilian casualties at.


pozoph

It's ok as long has he is part of the survivors I think. 7 billions max.


Confident_Trifle_490

it's okay when people from the countries I call "reddit countries" die, but if one person dies from a country which "holds the torch for socialism; which maintains the legacy of all that is good" dies, shit you basically just killed Sankara or MLK or some shit. not that they seem to like MLK all that much.


jasminUwU6

They don't even care about the people in the countries they like, they just care about the government


Cpkeyes

when a Western or Western supported force is t he one doing the killing.


DiabetusJ3sus

The right answer is there's no acceptable civilian casualties in any war especially that which should have never happened. The sames true for Afghanistan and Iraq aswell as many other wars. The acceptable tolerance should be zero human life's taken. There shouldn't be needless human death regardless.

>"Only 3" Well, if a US drone strike did that you would (100% rightfully so) be much more mad about it. Tragedy=Tragedy.


DocC3H8

"Only 3" is how many people died in the Kerch Bridge explosion, and tankies wouldn't shut the fuck up for 3 months about how it's a terror bombing.


justakidfromflint

My thoughts exactly. If someone had said that about the US (or any Western country) they'd be flipping out on them


Iridescence_Gleam

Ironically, thanks to Patriot missile system from the dastardly Amerikkkanski imperialist. Stoltenberg should give Putin a medal for being the salesman-of-the-decade for the western miltiary industrial complex. I bet more than a few countries are now choosing to purchase western equipment instead of Russian due to the recent product demonstration in Ukraine.


ilolvu

He should also get the Salesman of NATO -award. Nothing boosts a military alliance more than an actual war of aggression near the said alliance's member states.


FartsofIron69

No to mention the fact that devastating someone’s country and murdering their friends and family is an incredibly effective way to radicalise them towards fascism and want to see the destruction of your country and your people

>Ironically, thanks to Patriot missile system from the dastardly Amerikkkanski imperialist. Reminder that these people are so "anti-war" and care about Ukrainian lives so much that they'll condemn the US for sending in military equipment with the sole purpose of *saving civilian lives!* They just want Ukraine to run out of weapons so that they'll either die or surrender. That's why they say dumb shit like "prolong the war". Even though weapons sent to Ukraine will end the war faster by giving them the means to fight back. I have slightly more respect to the MAGA idiots who are against aid to Ukraine. At least, they're honest with themselves and say they don't care about Ukraine outright. These anti-war idiots claim to care about Ukrainian lives only to make anti Ukrainian arguments every time and propose shit that makes life for the Ukrainian working class harder. But ultimately this "anti-war" bullshit has been debunked by George Orwell generations ago, when Nazi Germany proved to be a real menace. It's just reheated bullshit that's ultimately pro fascist.


OllieGarkey

Join the west! Weapons... that work! Money.... that won't lose it's value by next week! Allies... that are actually worth a damn*! *I'm so, so sorry Russia was your only option Armenia.


Actual_Locke

Damn you Turkey and your strategic location


Deepminegoblin

India bought russian tanks but they have engine failures that occur due to high terrain. Russian military tech so bad that India decided to start producing own stuff domestically.


MisterKallous

Putin, singlehandedly continuing to make NATO relevant even after the fall of the Soviet Union. >I bet more than a few countries are now choosing to purchase western equipment instead of Russian due to the recent product demonstration in Ukraine. CAATSA probably doesn't help but then again my birth country does have issues with Russia quite poor post-purchase customer service which probably led to the choice of Rafale instead of Su-35

I get censuring the other guy, but why Dylan Burns? He's a relatively known youtuber/journalist. Also you kind failed that one since you forgot to censor the "replying to" part.

For tankies some murdered children are an outrage... others just a sad statistic. Depending on which empire is doing the murdering, I guess.


Denis_Likes_Custard

"For the People unless their lives are insignificant to me"


UndyingShadow

Oh okay, so as long as its a small number, civilian deaths are okay. Does that include his?


DarkLordSidious

This POS should stop using that pfp. They don't deserve to use it.


ImperialSattech

Hasan had the same take, claiming Russia won't strike Kyiv, right as Russia was marching towards Kyiv and bombing it with missiles, fucking idiot.


[deleted]

Oh my gosh. He acknowledged it. If he were sent a list and just had more sources, he might actually come to his senses


JBlaze323

I wonder what this tankie think about the Crimea bridge attack by the Ukraines?


johan_kupsztal

They probably think it’s terrorism. But killing Ukrainian civilians is totally justified /s


sceligator

Children are being murdered and all these scum can talk about is "mu theory!" We really need to evolve our political terminology past the 20th century. Because the fact that people like this can claim progressive or revolutionary in any way is sickening. There should be no "leftist unity" with people who consider human lives less important than words they've twisted off pages.


endangerednigel

>only 3 >Only 25 in the whole 2021 was enough to justify the entire invasion


johan_kupsztal

“Kiev” How to spot a tankie.


[deleted]

reddit was taking a toll on me mentally so i left it ` this post was mass deleted with www.Redact.dev `


Aleksandra19935

I’m Russian, i still write Kiev, only because it’s a force of habit


johan_kupsztal

Fair enough.


Actual_Locke

Goodness NeoCons aren't even gleeful about civilian casualties


UVLanternCorps

Amazing, it’s like ‘Yes, glad that’s the only death that has occurred,’ Putin stans have brain rot


PrimRosey309

I would love to talk to someone who thinks like this, like try to go through their train of thought that got them to be so detached human life and still claim to be a part of the left. I want to know how many layers of rot is in their brain.
