Right only one thing is important at a time
Jesse what the fuck are you talking about
Agreed, what Russia is doing in Ukraine is horrible.
What a surprise, the Zionist pig bays for more Russian and Ukrainian blood.
Well, pretty sure they weren’t calling for more blood. But hey, that fantasy land you're in sure does suck.
Every bomb sent to Ukraine is a bad day for someone, statistically mostly women and children. The purpose of diverting attention away from an actual genocide to the war in Ukraine is to encourage sending more bombs.
The only stance on Ukraine (and israel) that is not a call for more blood is a call to cut off all arms shipments and call for peace.
There is an actual genocide happening in Ukraine at the hands of Putin, and he has the power to stop it at any time.
Can we agree that Russia should stay the fuck out of Ukraine, and Israel should stay the duck out of Palestine? Or do you only (pretend to) care about genocide when it is politically convenient for you?
No, there's not, hence why Israel manages to kill more children in individual strikes than Russia has in 2 years.
It is concerning that a german cannot identify a genocide.
Neither of us live in Russia. Advocating your country's enemy unilaterally stop the war is not meaningfully different from advocating your country escalate the war. Even the most bloodthirsty hawk shares the position that the enemy should just give up.
But also the war has been going on for nearly a decade now. Eastern Ukraine was getting shelled right up until the day of the invasion. There would not be peace if Russia pulled out.
No matter what sophistry you wrap this up in, you are advocating more Ukrainians and Russians get killed in a conflict that ultimately will end in the Russian-speaking parts of Ukraine joining Russia, no matter how many bombs are sent.
Once again, the only stance on Ukraine that is not a call for more blood is advocating all arms shipments are cut off and immediate peace.
I just wish you Putin trolls or useful idiots would for once argue in good faith, but I guess you wouldn't be very good at what you're doing if that was the case.
Talkies gotta tank.
not all of us live in countries that have any political influence over Israel, only the US holds their leash, and protesting anywhere else can't really affect that clusterfuck
plenty of awful shit is still going on around the world that needs to be fought, and that doesn't change just because a worse thing is going on in a very specific part of the world. Climate change, for example, is still happening, still an existential threat to all of humanity, and still needs public protesting to do something about.
Which, living in a country that can't help Palestine in any diplomatic way, gets a bit annoying when people are regularly protesting about that (and before that, the invasion of Ukraine), while a huge percentage of our country's electricity still comes from burning fucking coal, we still export large amount of it to the global market, our CO2 emissions per capita manage to be some of the highest in the world, and protests about that could actually do some tangible good, but are a blip in the ocean compared to foreign wars of late. I get the anger at the injustices going on right now, but it's not anger that can get anything done here
What about this implies it's a protest against anything else?
