near the beginning of the war liberals were decrying Russia for, according to them, arresting draft dodgers and sending them to the front anyways.

And now here we are, with Ukraine doing that and arguably worse (the equivalent of kidnapping), and liberals don't seem to give a shit.

I really hope there's a name for these mental gymnastics. When it's the "bad guys" anything they do is evil, but when it's the "good guys" doing the same shit it's somehow a good thing.
