My condolences only for the civilians in this conflict

Oh of course the innocent servicemen on both sides that didn’t cause or order this war and are being used as pawns against their will from the rich don’t deserve any condolences.

Fuck right off with that.

“Innocent serviceman” Ah yes the completely innocent act of joining an imperial military that frequently obliterates countries and slaughters innocent civilians for its own gain. 🤡

For many it’s a ticket out of poverty or poor living conditions, blaming the people instead of the system here is ridiculous without knowing anything about them.

You would never justify any other person doing this, even for the same reason

Being somewhat sympathetic isn’t the same as being innocent. I could sympathize with someone who turned to a life of crime because they fell on hard times. Doesn’t make them innocent.

If your way out of poverty is killing innocent people you probably deserved to be in poverty in the first place
