When a country invades a neighbor using phosphorus bombs, they are giving open permission for phosphorus bombs to be used in their country as well. There should be no complaints from Vlad Puta if phosphorus bombs started landing in Moscow.

I know everyone wants Ukraine to take the "moral high ground", but when only one country is permitted to engage in heinous acts like this, it gives an extreme and unfair advantage to the offending country. If they win because of their advantages, it is worth it to them. The only way it becomes NOT worth it to them is when those horrific measures are recieved in return. Otherwise, why return fire in the event of a nuclear strike? The credible threat of suffering the same fate is how you stop the threat. Phosphorus bombs should be used on targets within Russia if we want any chance of them reconsidering the use of such weapons.

I dont think this is a wise way to think.

You can say the same thing about HAMAS and Israelis? Like would you support if Israeli started now raping women, not bombing after saying to evacuate Gaza, but literally killing them with guns on the point, children, defendless people, innocent ones who had done nothing, torture them. Would you still support Israelis if they were starting to do that?

Morality is not a reverse competition, like lol. It's not about "Oh, you used a Nuclear bomb? I use a nuclear bomb, we all use a nuclear bomb". Morality is about stopping this whole sht. Israelis are trying to neutralize HAMAS and their supporters, and obviously HAMAS told their supporters to stay at homes at Gaza and Gaza is the one that voted or supported HAMAS for more than a decade. So, their supporters are now at Gaza whether they want or not Im sorry but they'll die, because they simply seem to support Raping women, killing innocent children, attacking from nowhere a country, undressing a woman and placing her on a tree and cheering. Like these are attrocities who none should commit. It's NOT a fucking competition. And unfortunately, as war is hell and always chaotic, unfortunately innocent people who never supported such things are the minority and some may die too. Unfortunately. But the majority of Gaza is the one that supported the HAMAS being their "government". Nobody seemed to complain, like we would do at Europe for Macron, Trump, or any president that did something bad.

If you support such atrocities, Im sorry but I dont think you belong to a peaceful humanity. You should either be placed in jail, or in a war ... die so we don't have people that support such atrocities anymore.

Same with Ukraine and Russian war. Just because Phorphorus was used on the one side, does not mean that you've got the moral high ground of using phosphorus too. It is not ... a competition. End of story.

It's about neutralizing the target that used Phorphorus in the first place, not about using it against them. It's about neutralizing the target that raped your families, your women, killed your children, supports an organization that does commit such attrocities. Not about doing the same to them.

Peace by neutralizing a target is the end goal, not catastrophy of both countries and competing at who will commit more war crimes.
