Right because when russia leveled mariupol in 2022 to the ground that didnt count. Its bidens fault.
Assad in syria using chemical weapons against syrians is also bidens fault
werent you paying attention at the whole condemnation of this acts? the sanctions? years blasting the rules of war and international treaties through out every media? only for biden to turn around and defend the same actions he's being condemning for years in aid of israel
You do know your looking completely over your head in this conversation right now.
You did know that the Western nations in order for Ukraine to give up their nukes when the USSR fell promised they would come to their rescue if attacked by Russia. Right? You did know this and just forgot right?
Blinken was saying that Putin air-striking a residential building was a war crime that he needs to be on trial for at the ICC, which was correct. 1 year later, after every hospital, school and most residential buildings in Gaza have been flattened, the US is blocking ceasefire deals and blocking Netanyahu and Israeli officials from facing the ICC for their crimes. The double standard undermines the US condemnation of Russia and makes it look cynical.
The thing that really irks me about this is view is the difference in situation. The Ukrainians have a proper military that is actually fighting on established front lines, their military identifies themselves as combatants, their military infrastructure is also separate from civilian infrastructure, they don't have military bases in cities, or under apartment blocks. So when Russia goes out of its way to missile strike a packed train station, or a theater filled with civilians clearly labeled as a shelter, or a city park etc there is absolutely no reason for that strike other than to kill and terrorize civilians. The realities of fighting Hamas are unfortunately very different, it's not the same war, one is between proper armies, the other is a proper army versus terrorists.
Hitting a Ukrainian military target requires no attack on civilians, hitting a Hamas target pretty much requires hitting civilian infrastructure. That's the unfortunate reality, and why it's much clearer in Ukraine, it's completely unnecessary militarily speaking. In Gaza Hamas have sadly made it a necessity.
