Ukraine-Russia Megathread 9

This might have been posted before, but:

"The United Nations says it records 136 civilian deaths - including 13 children - and 400 people injured including 26 children since the Russian “special operation” in Ukraine began"

That's a tiny amount of civilians killed so far relative to most invasions we've seen over the last century. Putin really is trying his utmost to not be seen as a genocidal villain here. The western media will say otherwise but I imagine he expected that. I'm obviously not about to start congratulating Putin of all people for his uhh checks notes human rights record in Russia and abroad but can you imagine a western country doing an invasion of this magnitude in any country and only having those figures so far?

I think this says more about how godawful the United States is than how good Russia is. The Gulf War killed 50,000 people and wounded 75,000 in 42 days, which is 1200 deaths and 1800 injured per day. Again, not trying to do a Who's The More Moral Imperialist competition and you do not gotta hand it to Putin under any circumstances but the comparison really highlights the genocidal programs of the United States and the degree to which the western media has a firm control on the narrative about which countries are good and which are bad.
