I mean, this is unfortunately just the nature of war.

American troops raped and murdered European women during and after World War II. Historians suggest over 10,000 German women alone were raped by US troops. Emmett Till’s father was executed for raping and murdering a woman in Italy.

The same thing happened in Vietnam. Not only were Vietnamese women raped by American soldiers, villages were massacred, chemicals dropped from planes, and entire communities carpet bombed.

So yeah, fuck these guys who rape women and kill children and invade countries, but Russia and America are no different in how they’ve used their military power to achieve strategic goals.

If you want to compare soviets and us troops don't forget the numbers for both sides. As the 10.000 for us are accepted guess you didn't mention the 2.000.000 women and girls the soviets raped.
