>If some other nation had done a similar air strike which killed innocent civilians, there would be sanctions one after another.
You mean just like Russia recently did in Africa?
>On 16 and 17 January 2022 at least 65 civilians were killed by Russian mercenaries from the Wagner Group supported by armed forces in Aïgbado and Yanga villages near Bria in the Central African Republic during operation against rebels from Coalition of Patriots for Change.

These "mercenaries" have just been relocated by Russia to the Ukrainian border.
Has the world already forgot the daily Russian bombings in Syria a few years ago that killed thousands of civilians?
Russia and Russian-armed Syrian groups were responsible for the vast majority of casualties in Syria.

- BLanen 5y agoHaha, American whataboutism.
