It depends what the goal is (WWII, it was to stop the spread of fascism).
Here, yeah, there is no goal that can justify the war.

One of the main goals of this "special operation", which is covered in the Russian media, is the denazification of Ukraine. That is, the liberation of the country from radical Nazis! But I think that no matter how terrible the Bandera Nazis were, their destruction is not worth the fear, pain and destruction that the whole of Ukraine is experiencing now!

So you're saying that the millions of innocents that died in WW2 are justified because the goal was to stop fascism?
Because if so, all those people died in vain: Belarus, Poland, Hungary, UK, the USA, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Israel are still pretty much that.

So you’re saying that Hitler should been allowed to kill all the Jewish people in Europe, because “there’s no justification for war!”? How anti-Semitic of you…
So you’re saying Hitler should have been allowed to invade and conquer all the other European countries, because “no justification for war!”?

Or Japan. When they attacked Pearl Harbor, you’re saying we should just rolled over and let those 2,400+ soldiers’ death be ignored, and allow Japan to conquer the entire Pacific?

No, I am saying that there's no justification - good or bad - to kill **civilians**. There is the perceived requirement to do so because it is the last resort. And that's the problem with literally every international conflict: the nations set whatever "goals" that are used as the justification for their actions - which again, doesn't mean said actions were right, no matter the cause. Was it needed to stop Nazi Germany? Unfortunately, yes. Does that mean it's justified, therefore "acceptable" that millions of innocent people were killed because of it? No.

And mind you, what's going on in Ukraine - what Russia and the NATO are doing - are exactly the same thing US has been bombing Somalia, like the Saudis have been bombing Yemen, like Israel bombing Syria (all of these happened this past week or two, **all of these events** being conveniently ignored, because these same countries are condemning the Russians for doing the exact same (and again I reiterate: what Russia is doing is wrong, but the US and NATO as a whole are a bunch of dickheads for trying to claim they have moral grounds, when they don't.

Now tell me: what's the "justifying" to be done for Israel, USA and Saudi Arabia then? As far as I am concerned, they're just as much of war criminals as Russia is, and pretending that these are different situations is naïvety at best or ignorance at worst.

I am all for condemning Russia and fighting them - what I am not going to stand for is the hypocrisy of a group of people accusing someone of being a bully while they themselves are also currently practicing the things they so vehemently condemn.

I have lost friends to these shit excursions into other countries under the pretense of "they''re all this and that" when the real goal was for a select few to gain control of those countries' natural resources. Hell, I've lost a friend in the Ukraine because of this. I don't need anyone to tell me that their deaths are 'justified' because a pair of blood-lusty boomers are fucking crazy, mate.

Unfortunately, civilian death is an unavoidable part of war. And yes, the US is just as guilty of killing civilians in wars.

"Unavoidable." to an extent, unfortunately, yes. But the "justifiable" part is what I think is wrong. No matter what, no murder is justified. That's the point I want to get across. Sorry for the long post. If you happen to have relatives in the frontline (assuming you are not Ukrainian nor Russian, but perhaps American?) I hope they return safely.

You illegally visited occupied Crimea at least twice. Don't fucking dare telling about Ukraine and Ukrainians. You enjoyed spoils of war your country started in 2014 cause there were no consequences for you, but now after it's full scale you pretend to be innocent.
