Usually they just say there are no civilians in Russia and Ukraine killing ANY Russian is completely justified. Not the other way around though.
Also parallels their thoughts on Israel vs Palestine. Israel can kill any Palestinian and be "self defense" but when it comes to Israelis suddenly they care about the civilian distinction.

They don't even go that far to distinguish the difference from my experience. Just go I didn't mean that but I'm just gonna blame you for reading the words I used
Later: "Noooo, I never said that Ukraine should murder civilians!"
how dare you put words in my mouth dirty mler. I totally meant they should ignore civilians when saying it was the only thing Russia would understand
Amazing the overlap with the ones saying usa just needs more dems in congress to fix everything
One of my favorite kind of lemmitors on the fediverse is the "how dare you read the things I wrote" kind, where they start backpedaling only after getting massive backlash and then expect people to automatically believe their "clarifications" are sincere.
Even better when it's also about something they do that with AND have no idea what they are talking about, cough that banjo guy and minimum wage|ACA being Romneycare|anything political
