That wasn’t my point at all. I just meant that it is sad that this shit is happening but that it is what was elected by the majority. I am absolutely not saying people should not protest. My “good luck” was not sarcastic or anything, I really meant it.

Late reply, I didn’t get a notification until now for some reason.

Good luck… But I’m afraid this is what you voted for.

Sounds like a great place to live!

What he is trying to say is that “My presidency is at risk if pattern of war continues”

Thank you for making a serious and accurate reply to a pretty silly post. For real. Others may see it that actually do not understand what it’s all about.

Loop habit tracker might be for you. It’s on F-Droid.

Send them Gripen as well.

More like the whole world. Damn, this is getting really scary.

You have a good point here, didn’t even think about that at first. It’s of course always about the money…

Send them jets already. Jas Gripen, come on Sweden.

Fair enough.

It was never my intention to come across as defensive towards the IDF. I simply wanted to point out why it doesn’t make sense to compare civilian casualties between the two conflicts. Me saying a war in Gaza would always result in a lot of civilian casualties didn’t mean Israel has done a good job. I’m very sure they could have had quite a lot lower casualties with better tactics, but it would probably still result in high civilian casualties. A war in an area like Gaza will always result in hell on earth.

Meanwhile Russia has every possibility to avoid cities, yet they are still bombing cities pretty much daily despite there being no military activity there. This is again not me defending the IDF. I’m just trying to keep the topic on topic.

“Came across”? Right. Then I could say bringing up an unrelated conflict, no matter how terrible, in a discussion about what Russia does comes across as a putinist move.

This thread is about Russia. I was not the one bringing Israel up.

But no, I don’t think that is a good thing. But it has nothing to do with Israel being “more evil” than Russia. Russia cares zero about civilians and would have killed at least as many had Ukraine been a mostly urban warzone with Russian air superiority. But Ukraine isn’t, so therefore less civilian deaths.

Again, one can absolutely discuss the methods of the IDF. The point here is simply that you can’t compare Gaza with Ukraine when it comes to civilian casualties.

This is not the point. The point is that comparing civilian casualties between a war in Gaza and a war in Ukraine is an apples and pears comparison.

This exactly. One can absolutely debate the methods of IDF, but literally no one could wage war in Gaza with few civilian casualties. Gaza is almost one huge city while Ukraine have massive rural areas around every city. Had Russia waged war in Gaza, they’d have killed at least as many civilians, and in my opinion probably a lot more as well.

You see, any normal country would have realized the war became way too costly and capitulated. But Russia is not a normal country.

Saying “Russia is losing” a year ago was not propaganda. It was just a lack of understanding how little Putin cares about the life of his soldiers. We now know he’ll just keep sending more no matter what. He literally can’t lose this war and continue to be president.

Oh, Trump, yeah the guy that think Russia is the ‘lesser-evil’.

I wonder who will win!?

Exactly. I don’t think people realize that, although it sounds like Ukraine gets a shitload of money, it’s still probably pennies compared to the cost of being in an actual war.
