*NATO *10 years ago

I question the US’s claims over a certain region (the whole of it)

They joined a civil war in progress on the morally correct side

Would you say Ukraine was “preparing for a possibly (sic)” when its Nazi special forces were creating Hitlerjugend-style child soldier training camps?

Damn, if the Ukrainians had your tactical insight they might’ve won by now!

Sadly the PLAAF has already made their statement on that…

Well I was gonna bother responding, then I noticed your account was created five days ago and has done nothing but both-sides this conflict

Have a very shitty rest of your shift officer

The argument for it being Israel:

• Israel has complete air superiority
• Israel is conducting a bombing campaign against Gaza
• Israel has threatened to attack hospitals
• Israel has previously bombed hospitals
• Israel has previously bombed this exact hospital
• The audio and visual characteristics of the bomb and the damage caused (captured by multiple, independent observers) match with a JDAM guided bomb, which Israel has already used
• Israeli sources first claimed the hospital was a Hamas base or had Hamas tunnels or arms caches, before rapidly rolling back their position to “we didn’t do it”
• It is clearly in Israel’s interest to kill Palestinians and destroy Palestinian infrastructure, especially medical services and supplies, because they are conducting a genocide

The argument for it being Hamas:

• Israel says it was

Reddit, or rather , is controlled by the US security state, so r/combatfootage - which banned all combat footage from Palestinian viewpoints - is not a reliable source. The idea that a ‘rocket piece’ could accidentally fall on a hospital and kill 500 people (a number reported by a first-hand MSF witness) is laughably absurd. If a Hamas rocket could cause this kind of damage, Tel Aviv would look like the surface of the fucking moon. It was OBVIOUSLY another genocidal act by the entity continuously and overtly engaged in genocidal acts. To think otherwise requires you to want to fall for their propaganda. No one in full possession of their faculties looking at the facts dispassionately could possibly conclude it was anything else.

Banned for being factually incorrect in a blindingly obvious way

Rahile Dawut’s sentence was confirmed after she appealed against a 2018, according to the US-based Dui Hua Foundation rights group.

A 2018 what BBC? A 2018 what? Forget to invent that part of the story?

The only source of names, details, quotes and photos in the entire article is the Dui Hua Foundation, an NGO headquartered in San Francisco and funded by, firstly a random bunch of Scandinavian foreign affairs offices, but more importantly the Smith Richardson Foundation, a front for pouring money into dozens of classic US policy ghoul think-tanks. Like, the fucking Jamestown Foundation, Volcker Alliance, Foreign Policy Research Institute, Center for Advanced Defense Studies, even the University of Chicago. This thing is clearly just yet another little goad for China, and I don’t trust a single thing coming out of it.

Furthermore, based on the supposed “Xinjiang police files” (more about it here), I feel confident saying that woman’s face is AI generated.

Also “appeasement” is a made up post-hoc explanation for the western Allies’ actions before WW2, blaming the supposed naivete or lack of spine of the leaders for simply allowing the Nazis to make expansionist moves uncontested, rather than it being an intentional policy to get out of their way and try to direct them eastwards against the Soviet Union.

No! But actually, yes! Here is a high-ranking Azov fascist talking about various things (how the west supports them because they enjoy fighting and killing, how the Maidan would have been a “gay pride parade” if not for a very active fascist element) but most importantly what would happen if “Russia split into five or so Russias”. This has been the US State Department’s goal since 1993, to divide up Russia into a group of powerless fractional states and enslave them through austerity and debt peonage, so they can exploit their natural resources and labor cheaply - EXACTLY as they did to the Balkans, directly across from Russia.

The threat of the fascist Kiev regime is that it is attacking, subjugating and ethnically cleansing the Russian-speaking Ukrainian citizens of the Donbass, who formed militias and fought back against their extermination for eight years. If the AFU had launched a huge invasion and pushed deep into the region, it would be too late for Russia to reverse the operational momentum - ESPECIALLY if, as was continuously threatened, Ukraine joined NATO or their invasion (overtly) included NATO personnel, at which point Russian intervention would start a nuclear war - and they would be left with a group of victorious, energized, viciously anti-Russian fascists on their doorstep. Would those fascists diligently stay on their side of the border? No, of course not. As Andriy Biletsky, founder of the Azov battalion puts it, it is their “crusade to lead the Aryan peoples of the world against the Jewish-led untermenschen”. Russia would be subject to continuous destablization by Nazis crossing the border, with the ultimate goal of bringing down the Russian state.

Ukraine, or crucially rather the US State Department puppetting Ukraine, vigorously waved a red flag in front of Russia’s nose for eight years, getting closer and closer until finally Russia was forced to invade or face a direct threat to its existence. And how gradually they invaded! It took about a week for the Duma to vote on recognizing the DPR and LPR as sovereign states, and then vote on signing a defensive pact with them, and then finally start moving soldiers into position.

You may notice that they form concentrated barrages along lines of advance, such as one might make if one were about to launch a maneuvering assault, upon two territories recognized just earlier that week as sovereign states by Russia, and with which it signed defensive pacts.
