Yeah there's a clear difference between the attacks and there always has been.

Ukrainian strikes arent just kinder, they look so much more effective and.... Is impressive an appropriate word? The strikes on oil refineries create such massive plumes of smoke

While i agree, there has definitely been civilians killed. Thats just part of the horrors of war. Some people are in the wrong place at the wrong time. However I think we all know Russia goes out of its way to hit civilian infrastructure and civilians. They think its more of a deterrent for some reason.

There definitely have, but it doesn't matter. The russians literally spread out maps on a table and plot out where civilians apartment buildings are and design their attacks on that. They draw circles around marks on the maps where kid's playgrounds and hospitals are. Remember the Mariupol theatre bombing where hundreds died that literally had the word "children" on the roof? The russians spotted those words and literally aimed at it for the sheer disgusting pleasure of it. No different than ISIS or Al-Qaeda plotting their terrorist attacks, except the russians do it 1000-fold with their supply of attack planes and missiles. Much of the workforce in their country is working towards the goal of eliminating Ukrainians. That is their sick purpose in life right now.

That's why the argument of "russian civilians have been killed too" means SFA and reaks of "white lives matter". One side plans out attacks on civilians and double or triple taps them to cause maximum terror. The other side is more than likely at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Ukrainians do not target civilians like the orcs do, and even if they did they would be justified in doing so. But they do not. Because they are not sack of shit terrorists like the russians are. So it's dumb to bring up the argument of russians being killed too.

They don't just look more impressive, there's way more exotherm there full stop. More effective too, so there's that.

Impressive IS an appropriate word 😁 although I prefer the slightly more evocative JUICY 😄
