You say you understand why Ukrainians call ALL Russians orcs (not just the military invading them, or just the Russian government, ALL Russians). You say you understand why Ukraine would generalize the entire ethnicity of the country that's invading them.
How is that different from what we did to Japanese Americans? (Also you might want to look into how the Russian ethnic minority has been treated in Ukraine)
Rape of Nanking = Japanese internment is ok, got it. You have confirmed my suspicions, thank you.
No I wouldnt have because i recognize the difference in materially different situations.
I am personally against Putin's decision to invade, and DEFINITLY against any warcrimes commited. Though I will say, targeting infrastructure is part of war, not a warcrime. And Putin isn't just some evil ork who decided to invade for no reason. There are material reasons why the invasion happened, even if I'm against the decision. And the reasons aren't lebensraum.
Whataboutism doesn't bite on me.
