This is mostly why we’re better than they are: these things sometimes get reported, and our media criticizes these actions. There’s a non-zero chance of punishing these people.
On the other side, these people are universally treated as heroes and if they’re given something, it’s medals or promotions.
But of course, we will need to actively work to maintain this superiority. It can vanish in an instant.
We might compare Assange’s treatment to how Navalny was treated. Assange is not dead and I believe he’s about to be freed. And he did actual crimes whereas Navalny’s crime was being a political opponent to Putin.
Its not about assange himself, more the military guys he exposed, whom never got persecuted for their crimes even when the whole world knew what they did.
The “superiority” was never there. Ukraine is commiting war crimes and so is Russia. Russia is commiting a lot of them and the spotlight is on them so they are easier to see. For Ukraine there are obvious ones you can see outright (i.e. televising POWs) and less obvious ones you hear about from people who were in Ukraine.

Lets see what happens… Look at assange, these fuckers who killed civilist, are as unconvicted as ever …

I don’t know who or what civilist was.
