      There’s something very telling about liberals using terms and concepts from actual fantasy settings to describe their understanding of war.

          Why aren’t you fighting on the front lines in Ukraine? It’s just like LOTR/Harry Potter so you should have no problem opposing the forces of evil, seeing as how you are the main character of existence.

                  You say you understand why Ukrainians call ALL Russians orcs (not just the military invading them, or just the Russian government, ALL Russians). You say you understand why Ukraine would generalize the entire ethnicity of the country that’s invading them.

                  How is that different from what we did to Japanese Americans? (Also you might want to look into how the Russian ethnic minority has been treated in Ukraine)

                    A good part of the ethnic Russians fight on Ukrainian side. If you weren’t aware, for a lomg time Russian was the official language of the Azov Battalion.

                    But you go on believing Russian lies even after Prigozhin has admitted openly that all the stories were a lie.
