We do a little genocide
  • Nah, I have a problem with both sides.

    The most important thing is that you can attack everybody and feel superior to them all.

    Why are we fighting over which turd is bigger when we need to clean it all up?

    I'm not fighting for either side, I'm just disagreeing with the assertion that the concert goers who were murdered by Hamas were "sacrificed by Israel".

  • We do a little genocide
  • Your performative outrage is pretty funny.

    In another comment from you I'm a Hamas supporter.

    Lol are you fucking stupid? Necessary to murder civilians? You hamas supporting psychopath.

    Funnily enough, all of this is in response to someone saying that the Israeli government sacrificed someone's family after they were murdered, which you apparently don't have any problem with.

  • We do a little genocide
  • Those are the only two options I guess, indiscriminately murder civilians and blow up hospitals or suicide.

    Feel free to share your operational plan for how the Israelis should proceed, I'm sure it will be very realistic and grounded in military reality.

    I’m saying people who commit war crimes should go to the place where the world has decided to try war criminals and then they should punish them like we have punished war criminals in the past.

    So you're obviously also saying that Hamas should be hung from the neck until dead.

    Attacking a hospital containing active enemy combatants is not a war crime. Garrisoning troops in a hospital is a war crime. Not making necessary precautions to move civilians away from the combat area is also a war crime.

    Deliberately harming civilians is a war crime. Harming civilians by accident or as a byproduct of necessary military action is not a war crime.

  • We do a little genocide
  • Still, i can’t argue that most people consider this kind of revenge to be also a component of self defense.

    Why did the bell ring immediately after Hamas started losing? You don't get to perform an offensive, have less success than expected and then simply call off the war.

    However, speaking of genocide, Hamas (hell, all of Palestine) is not in a position to seriously threaten the Israeli people as a whole nor the Israeli Jews specifically.

    The Arab states have been trying to do this literally since the creation of Israel. The only reason it hasn't occurred yet is because they lost all the wars they started.

  • We do a little genocide
  • So when Hamas guns down Israeli civilians that are not next to military targets it's justified and actually the fault of the jews, and when Israel strikes Hamas military targets that are deliberately placed next to their own civilians it's never justified and the jews hould hang?

    Very cool.

    There really is no way to bomb hospitals and then blame the hospital for being a human shield when it was your bomb that murdered those children.

    What do you realistically expect armies to do when their opponents place all their military assets next to civilian targets? Just give up and kill themselves?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Didn’t read further. This is pointless. I’m going to assume you don’t want the US to stop.

    I want the US to stop invading other countries just like I want Russia and China to stop invading other countries.

    Funny how US imperialism is always bad while Soviet/Chinese imperialism is just "missing context", provoked, justified, or just papered over with lies like "they were really gentle in their occupation".

    Can you name even one instance of Soviet or Chinese imperialism that was, in your opinion, as bad as something the US has done? Not forced upon them by history or made bad by propaganda, just straight up them being bad imperialists.

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Yes?

    That's good. I didn't think you would be able to denounce the imperialism of the Soviet Union.

    Do you or do you not think the US should stop interfering?

    I don't want the Taiwanese to be subjugated by the Chinese, and I know that they don't want to either, so I support any actions that allow Taiwan to remain independent.

    I don't want a Chinese invasion, but I also wouldn't want a US invasion of Cuba or the assassination of Fidel Castro.

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Who said I want an invasion to happen?

    OK, you "won't be happy about it" but will "understand why it happened". Do you feel the same way about a US invasion of Cuba, and the assassination attempts on Castro? You just wanted the Soviet Union to fuck off and mind its own business?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Which is again much like my understanding of why the US beat its drums when the USSR interfered with Cuba. I don’t condemn the US for drum beating over that event (despite my obvious distaste for the US and support for Cuba), its extremely obvious what caused it and it’s extremely obvious what is causing this.

    So obviously a full US invasion of Cuba would not only have been understandable, but also justified? Just like all the assassination attempts on Castro were understandable and justified?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • I have no idea what they want, whether that’s true, or whether nationalism is even compatible with their culture.

    But you do have an idea what the Taiwanese want, and it isn't a Chinese invasion, so why aren't you condemning China for their hostile actions and threatening behavior?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • It's very interesting how territorial disputes over basically uninhabited islands is too culturally insensitive to make conclusions on, but China invading and suppressing Taiwan harming millions in the process is an understandable certainty that doesn't warrant condemnation.

    I wonder why that is. 🤔

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Just one final question.

    You obviously don't support Japan taking back the Kuril Islands from a weakened Russia and aren't happy about it, but obviously you understand what caused it and why it had to happen, right?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Lmao. Fuck no. The US involvement there was global imperialism trying to cling to its colonial holdings.

    So the Chinese invasion of Vietnam is obviously also a bad thing that must be denounced and not just solemnly understood and accepted, right?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • If a referendum happened for this. Independence would absolutely not win.

    And since they also don't want "unification" you are absolutely against China attempting to invade Taiwan, and any aggressive actions like shooting missiles into waters near Taiwan, or threatening invasion, right?

  • China says US military aid to Taiwan will not deter its will to unify the island
  • Don't underestimate the "stupidity" of authoritarian regimes.

    Like we've seen with Russia the information that leaders base their decisions on do not necessarily reflect reality in any way. China could very well start WW3 by invading Taiwain based on the false pretenses that everyone would just capitulate and totally be on their side like Russian leadership thought would happen in Ukraine.

  • PSA: Lemmy.ml is not Lemmy
  • the proxy war in Ukraine

    Lmao which proxy war? It's Russia committing to a full scale invasion of Ukraine and losing. That's like calling WW2 a proxy war because the soviet union received critical amounts of US aid.
