And a bunch of bloodthirsty libs jumped down my throat for daring to speak against Ukraine and their noble practices of not notifying people that they're going to be doing a false flag operation and also Russia also did war crimes so international law is therefore null and void

And the weirdest part is that nobody seemed to catch that the thing that most upset me was random innocent truck drivers being the ones put at risk in this scheme and nobody even wondering about what would have happened to them if they got stopped and searched by Russian soldiers and labeled as "terrorists" for just taking a delivery job

Even if what you said is true, which it is not (see Formerlyfarman's comment), whether or not Ukraine was trying to ethnically cleanse the Donbas prior to the SMO (which it was), and regardless of the virtues or crimes of the people's militias, none of that matters as far as what I was saying. None of that has any bearing on the asymmetry of war crimes perpetrated by Ukraine vs the lack of them committed by Russia.

Then why did you say it?

None of what you said matters with respect to my initial comment. I said what I did because it is what happened and provides context. Your altering of that context (by making up falsehoods) still didn't change the point of my comment. And just a tip: it doesn't help your credibility to ask the people you're disagreeing with to walk you through the basics of how discussions work.

I'm just trying to figure out where the goal posts are.

They're nice and stationary where they've always been. You don't seem to know where the field is.
