Russia sure has been making a lot of mistakes lately:
- Forcible relocation of civilians to Russia - those are sweepstakes winners on glorious holiday to scenic labor camps. That’s actually our mistake, we just didn’t understand the nice thing they were doing.
- Missile strikes on maternity and pediatric hospitals - Dimitri fat-fingered the launch button again?
- The wholesale murder of civilian men under the age of 50 in Bucha - Fyodor misread the orders, his troops were supposed to distribute cake, not tie people up, shoot them in the head, and leave their bodies in the street.
- Missile strikes on apartment buildings, other civilian targets - Mmm, fireworks display gone wrong?
Sure, it could be a mistake. Sure, the US has done terrible things. You know what else was terrible? The crusades. Terrible, terrible mistakes were made in the name of Dog almighty. You know what? None of that has anything to do with the genocide Russia is carrying out right now. You want to believe the Russian military, go ahead. I think the preponderance of evidence tells a different story.
