    I'm not minimising the fact that there's been civilian casualties, of course there has. It's a war and it's horrible. I've been really emphatically upset and disturbed by the violence against and risk to ordinary people throughout these threads. I dropped off blankets and two good sleeping bags at a donation point via a clothing bank that is sending stuff to Ukrainian refugees stuck at border crossings and so on.

    But I am explicitly talking about the tactics used and the gulf between the reality and the rhetoric. And in that sense I admit that no, I don't see why the Western media and governments at least are calling out the brutality against civilians. It's not based on the reality, they don't remotely actually give a shit, and they've always cheered it on and made excuses when the West does far, far worse.
