I think something like 20 journalist have died in Russian strikes in 3 years. Kinda crazy when you make the Russian military look measured and professional.

USA carpet bombing also makes Russians look insanely professional, so what is your point? Maybe Russian military does not believe in the same genocidal principles that USA and its baby Israel believe in?

Israel, with full US backing, has killed ten times as many children in Gaza as Russia has in Ukraine. Just saying.

They “forgot” what Russia did to Syria fairly recently.

What carpet bombing lol. You tankies love saying random provocative bullshit.

Where do you think Israel gets its bombs?

ieatpillowtags ,

He said USA carpet bombing, not Israel. You wanna criticize arms sales to Israel, feel free. That’s a real problem, as opposed to the fake one presented by op.

They’re US bombs dropped by a US ally with full US backing. Israel might as well be the 51st State.

Just because the bombing is being done by a proxy instead of the US military doesn’t mean the US gets to wash its hands of the genocide.

ieatpillowtags ,

Culpable in the genocide? Yes. Carpet bombing anybody? No. Facts matter.

When the US’s unsinkable aircraft carrier bombs Gaza, that’s the US bombing Gaza. Actually it’s not even a proxy, like when Saudi was carpet bombing Yemen with US bombs. Israel might as well be the 51st State because it could not exist without unlimited US support. It’s just a US outpost.

You’re trying to pedantically dismiss a point on a technicality, but you’re still wrong. What Israel does, the US does. It’s one-to-one.

Sure bro, I can see you’ve got your talking points. Don’t forget to stick to the script, you’re doing great.

Cool conspiracy theory. Is it Hamas? Russia? Or the biggest boogieman of all, Chyna!

Insane cults shouldn’t run countries. All religious people are fucking trash and should be locked up in asylums.

Ah yes, because fighting oppression with checks notes more oppression works

Go look up the Paradox of Tolerance.

The moment a person or country breaches the societal contract of mutual peace and tolerance they have simultaneously revoked their right to the same.

We can live together peacefully, but if you start throwing punches I have every right to fight back until you stop. It’s that simple.

Religions and religion based governments that want to genocide others shouldn’t be tolerated.

“as of” not “since” 18 march.

That would mean they were all killed today.

Honestly if that statistic was provided to me out of context, that Israel have killed 95 more reporters today alone, I wouldn’t even contest the information. I’m not even sure what Israel could do to catch me off guard beyond supplying Palestinians with basic human resources.

Can’t report on crimes against humanity if there’s nobody to report them.
