Reply to comment by JonoNexus in Japan Set to Import First Crude Shipment From Russia Since May by IndependentTHNKR

No it does not depend how you frame it. You're talking about motive. Motive is moot to the comment:

> Japan carries Ukrainian blood on their hands by purchasing Russian crude.

All of the above is true no matter why they do it.

I think the comment is inherently a moral condemnation. I mean, they don't literally have blood on their hands. At that point I think the motive is relevant to their actions. I dont see what the point is of saying someone has blood on their hands otherwise.

Slow down there, all caps screamer...

Put this on a balance sheet, bottom dollars on help to Ukraine versus genocide-sustaining energy purchases to Muscovy.

It will not be 1000:1 ratio in favour of Ukraine.

Right?
