ahh yes, the illegal annexation of Crimea, where horrific war crimes were committed and countless innocent civllian lives were lost in wanton slaughter. oh, wait, nm, jk, exactly zero people died in the Crimean referendum, and it was the textbook example of a "bloodless coup" expressing the will of the people. also, just ignore that wizard behind the curtain who keeps mentioning that Crimea became part of Russia in 1784, when Catherine the Great took it from the defeated Ottoman empire, and that Crimea remained part of Russia up until the dissolution of the USSR in 1991.

and whatever you do, don't fall into the logical trap of Whataboutism, where you point out the war crimes and illegal wars and slaughter of civillians by the US in order to make it look like the US is actually guilty of far worse Imperialism than Russia.

such as the US directly assisting with killing over 58,000 civillians in Yemen between 2016 - 2018.

and whatever you do, don't connect the dots and interpolate every US war going back to WW2 and draw factual, evidence based conclusions from the Pentagon's own Top Secret stats on civillian casualties, which condemn the Pentagon as being the biggest group of mass murdering thugs in the history of warfare.

don't even think about pulling that citations please crap, and repeating obscure inconvenient truths, such as the CIA's own reports that 66% of the tens of thousands of Vietnemese killed by the Rolling Thunder mass bombing campaign were totally innocent civillians:

"hold on there", i can here you say, "Vietnam is ancient history, we here at the Pentagon have learned very hard lessons--we don't do that anymore"

record scratch

freeze frame

the USAF killed tens of thousands of civillians in Raqqa and Mosul. (depending on your views of the seriousness of the ISIS problem, you may not have a problem with that.)

the Pentagon killed so many civillians in Raqqa and Mosul that even they admit "nobody will ever know how many died."

and while the Neoliberal world virtue signals to itself about its own hollow anti-Islamophobia self-righteous indignity outrage about the NZ mosque mass shooting by Brenton Tarrant four days ago, yesterday and today the US military is bombing the 10,000 civillians and women and children huddled in a literal tent city in a muddy field in Baghuz, Deir Ezzor, Syria--the pocket holdout where "Last Stand of ISIS" is being fought.

here is a pro-ISIS tweeter calling out all of you Kufar for your War Machine's hypocrasy towards Muslim lives:

i'm sorry, i cannot have respect for anyone working in the Scienes on behalf of the Pentagon. i don't care if you are only doing pure research far removed from directly assembling the Phosorus cluster bomb shells. you are still helping the worst military in history which has and is slaughtering hundreds of thousands of human beings. you don't deserve to sleep peacefully at night for your being a "lil' Eichmann" and helping to commit genocide and war crimes. it doesn't matter how valuable your work might be someday, it doesn't matter if your work will hypothetically save more lives someday in the future, because right now, today, you are helping to kill human beings. you are helping the most unjust military War Machine to stomp over country after country and perpetuate the most exploitive global EMPIRE in the history of civillization.
