      Sort of. But so is letting your country be taken over by orcs. Choose your poison.

        There’s something very telling about liberals using terms and concepts from actual fantasy settings to describe their understanding of war.

          Dude, you know very little about me as I do you. So let’s not presume I know nothing of war.

            Why aren’t you fighting on the front lines in Ukraine? It’s just like LOTR/Harry Potter so you should have no problem opposing the forces of evil, seeing as how you are the main character of existence.

                I totally understand why Ukrainians call Russian orcs,

                So you would have supported Japanese interment camps then?

                    You say you understand why Ukrainians call ALL Russians orcs (not just the military invading them, or just the Russian government, ALL Russians). You say you understand why Ukraine would generalize the entire ethnicity of the country that’s invading them.

                    How is that different from what we did to Japanese Americans? (Also you might want to look into how the Russian ethnic minority has been treated in Ukraine)
