      This is horrible on every level and should give those who are promoting a romantic image of war some pause.https://twitter.com/drewharwell/status/1514941871830835200 …

      New: Ukraine has run more than 8,600 facial recognition searches on dead or captured Russians in the 50 days since the war began, using the scans to find the soldiers' social media profiles - and send photos of their corpses to their families back home https://wapo.st/3KHnkxE

      So if Afghans or Iraqis did this to American troops you wouldn't object?

      I would. Will certainly concede that I place greater value on the lives of American soldiers and the well-being of their families than those of Russian soldiers

      That's nationalism, not morality.

      Basically your position is that American life is worth more than non-American life, right? So it's wrong to desecrate American corpses but not non-American ones.

      Not exactly. I do place less value on the life of a Russian soldier who continues to participate in this brutal invasion than I do on that of everyone else, generally. But I also don’t view American soldiers’ participation in Iraq/Afghanistan as equivalent, in the way you seem to

      What's the difference? Do you deny that USA violated international law, killed civilians by the tens of thousands, tortured many, and created refugees by the hundreds of thousands?

          These wars did much of what you describe above, though I would quibble with parts — but I guess I see a clear distinction in the intentional targeting of civilians and the apparent intent (per Putin’s writings/speeches) to eliminate Ukrainians as an ethnic group

          Bush called it a crusade and military contractors used weapons with inscriptions about killing Muslims, they were caught planting weapons on civilian corpses numerous times, have you not seen at least the Collateral Murder video?
