Gotta wonder if you all would feel this way about random US civilians who supported US wars of aggression being killed.
if a mayor of a town in Afghanistan told everyone he wants the US to invade while bombs are falling on his countrymen? yeah. I'd feel the same way?
A mayor of a town who worked with the enemy of his country, which is currently bombing civilians regularly, is not the same as a “random” citizen who supports their own country. Thats a mind bogglingly stupid comparison.
That's not exactly a 1:1 comparison, is it? And I say that as someone who personally wouldn't give a fuck about those nationalists meeting their end at the hands of the victims of such a war.
What is the difference in your eyes?
Sorry to butt in. I'm not the commenter but I see the point
An apt comparison would be a mexican mayor, welcoming USA to invade them
Or a taiwanese one, who wishes the same from China. Etc.
