I’m not making light of casualties, I’m making light of the baseless claim that there even could be casualties, because I reiterate:

If they had identified Ukrainians smuggling weapons platforms into the country, the whole operation would have failed.

You think if they found spotters deep in Russian territory near their nuclear bombers the operation would have succeeded?

So, you’re not gonna defend the claim that we should worry about retaliation? Going to pretend that Russia will do anything it wasn’t already trying to do, and just move the conversation elsewhere? This is so incredibly bad faith.

To quite treating this bloodbath as a fucking football game.

Congratulations, it’s not working. You just sound like a cheerleader yourself.
