Does it makes a difference if you kill one person or 100? For charts maybe but you are still a murderer even if you kill a bunch. All politicians have blood in their hands, they don't fight their wars, we do it for them and we get forced to do it. Ukraine is under martial law, males between 18 and 60 can't leave the country.

When making a comparison, the difference between the two things you're comparing do in fact matter.

Do you really think that killing in order to defend yourself and others is the exact same thing as killing in support of ideologies such as fascism or imperialism? Iraqis defending themselves against Americans and Georgians defending themselves against Russians is morally identical to killing children because they speak the wrong language, worship the wrong god, or have skin that's the wrong colour?
