There is NO "Both Sides"!

Reporter: What’s Trump’s reaction to the Ukrainian drone attack on Russian airbases?

WH Press Secretary Leavitt: The reaction is this war needs to come to an end. The war has been brutal from both sides…

Here we go again with the ridiculous “both sides” nonsense. A quick history lesson:

1.Holocaust – no “both sides.”
2.Pearl Harbor – no “both sides.”
3.Apartheid – no “both sides.”
4.Rwanda Genocide – no “both sides.”
5.September 11th attacks – no “both sides.”
6.ISIS atrocities – no “both sides.”
7.Russian invasion of Ukraine – no “both sides.”
8.Saddam Hussein’s chemical attacks – no “both sides.”
9.Slavery – no “both sides.”
10.Taliban’s oppression of women – no “both sides.”

Sometimes right and wrong are crystal clear.

I hope one day that there is a scent of sulfur as the floor opens and she falls into the depths of hell...for all eternity.

"Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.”

She is attractive in a physical way but she gets ugly really quick.

Are you on the side of a blood thirsty dictator who viciously and attacked a peaceful
nation that had done nothing to him or his nation with mass killings, torture, kidnapping
> 50,000 children, sent missiles, drones, and bombers against civilians, and gave his troops
troops viagra so they would rape men, women, and children.

Or are you on the side of real heroes who stood up to Putin and his killers?

Thanx for the thread.

It's OK to use it when someone says something untrue. It's not Right... it's WRONG!!
Say it so they know. Otherwise they will continue to be Wrong! This is something you can do, if you're a Journalist. AS A MATTER OF FACT, IT'S YOUR JOB!!!!!!!!

promoting "bothsiderism" will bring on a truce in the Red vs Blue Wars.

I'm seeing more of it now around me, and I understand the urge to lay down weapons of insult and invective. But I think it's wistfully naive. And we will be taken advantage of...again. Lucy and the football? How many times...

WE always reach out, WE try to understand them, WE give the benefit of the doubt, WE take the high road. And we lose and THEY win. I'm still waiting for THEM to reach out to us. And I know I'll be waiting a LONG time. Because in this game, we tend to play fair and they cheat. It's stacked against us.

This time we must fight for our principles. Take a page from Ukraine and take a stand. Whatever form of pushback short of violence. But playing nice is just NOT the way to go in the face of this evil.
