This woman is a Palestinian journalist her Instagram coverage is harrowing but also clear and straightforward.

I wish i had saved that graph going around right now that shows how uneven it always is. Gaza strikes a few buildings, knocks out a few windows and injures 6 Israelis and kills 1? Israeli takes out an apartment block in retaliation.

This only scales so I can only imagine the sort of genocide that might be about to happen if Israel goes ahead launches a land operation into Gaza

How many of you are actually happy that people died? I think the memes are funny and I also agree with everything about the US and what it does to people around the world, but my outlook on the world isn't such that I'm glad when someone "evens the score".

Lies! I went outside and I saw a poster about CLIMATE CHANGE, and then I turned the corner and heard a family complaining about minimum wage being too low! So unfair, I just want to be ignorant of other people's suffering.

I mean, has NATO ever tried any of it's strategies on it's peers? Can we say they don't work if they haven't?

Yeah but we're federated with them so you can interact from here and tip the scales

Apparently they think we'd ressurect older leaders instead of having new ones that aren't believers in 20th century mainstream social values?

Because the Ukrainian government in power is aligned with the West politically, and the US/EU wouldn't want to fight Russia directly. While it certainly still functions in many ways like a proxy war, I feel like it was more of a proxy war until 2022 when it was contained to the eastern part of the country and the US was actively training the Ukrainian military in Ukraine (I believe they are now training them outside Ukraine to avoid sparking a direct war between NATO and Russia) concurrently with Russian military support for Luhansk and Donetsk. When Russia widened the theatre of war to the whole country last year, I think the character of the war shifted fundamentally.
