  1. Two things can be true at the same time. Putin wants land and USA uses that desire of Putin to profit themselves By USA i mean American companies and powerful lobbying groups I doubt the average American benefits from the war much The American deep state has no real incentive to stop the war as it is benefting from it As long as Russia is advancing in the front Putin has no real incentive the stop the war either Only losers here are Ukranian and Russian common citizens who are dying in mass Although to be fair I think some people overestimate the role of USA in this war a little too much In the end, it is about Ukraine and their desire to protect their land USA is milking the desire but it is not creating it, it would have existing with or without USA That is key to understand
  2. They for sure hate Russia but saying "they want to kill them even if it means dying themselves" is a bit of a strecht They are nationalistic and want all their land which is not uncommon amongs countries But they do not strike me as kamikazes If overthrowing Putin was that easy, it would have been done already by the West. Not to mention you may get someone worse. Reason Ukraine does not strike civilians is because if they did they would loose the global image they have as the "good guy" Without that image, support for them would collapse and unlike Russia, Ukranine cannot fight this without massive assistance Not to mention there have been some cases of targetting of civilians but quite limited in scope and not fully clear if it was intentional or colleteral damage
  3. I have not seen the documentary to comment but anyone willing to expose its own national devilry despite knowing they will be hated to me are absolute heros worthy of respect Similar to Edward Snowden
  4. Most are conscripted and they are from poorer parts of Russia They received payments which relative to what they would earn back home were seen as attractive enough to enlist Whole reason why a proper mobilization is being considered now is because the people who were willing to be conscripted in exchange for money have run out and the rest wont do it. They did try a partial mobilization in 2022 but it did not go as well as expected and many fled Since then, they switched to the paid soldier formula which worked ok until now
  5. No it has not, that is paid contractors A proper mobilization is what is going on in Ukraine where men over 25 cannot leave the country and tens of thousands have fled or been arrested and sent forcefully to the front The Russian army is mostly a mercenary army composed of people from poorer parts of Russia that find the payments to serve as attractive If Russia mobilized like Ukraine did, the army would have reached millions by now
  6. Russia can never occupy all of Ukraine What they are trying to get is Donbass, that is what the whole war is about The Russian speaker part of Ukraine, full of minerals and historically pro Russian Some of the most extreme pro Russians want all of Novorussia, but the current battlefield situation makes obtaining it almost impossible https://www.google.com/search?sa=X&sca_esv=074237d04407bddc&sxsrf=APpeQnsQYhd0rqxekAkw303ZFSuk0iWGpg:1791914474679&udm=2&fbs=ABfTbFUyxjQn9bne4DuflY2dNqqKxYAWFhLCpnjf3OsLbYdPHYIWnuDjUICa-3MV7eck-5zE_RG19XA5pBi80xQt9FuHWjb8-OtFV-r6aKzxDrlMlV3exOBFl0_DZlL_xzp59_9IiJLFM6s1jSEkkuMux0RGE2yH6KysxLuTNHny-GqMobtWTQ6EgHJ2bM9qqCeFf7N5TMGW&q=novorossiya&ved=2ahUKEwiCpuzNybeXAxVa_7sIHfKnIF8QtKgLegQIGhAB&biw=1440&bih=765&dpr=2#sv=CAMSUxoyKhBlLUo1QXZSN3FYM0lodnlNMg5KNUF2UjdxWDNJaHZ5TToOUzBJVjBTWlZqSXIxVE0gBCoXCgFzEhBlLUo1QXZSN3FYM0lodnlNGAEwAVACGAcg8Nzn9wlKCBACGAEgAigB Western Ukraine cannot be occupied, it is too aggressive and anti Russian So Ukranian people can go to the non Donbass Ukraine which will not be conquered as it is not part of Russia war goals Russia cannot realistically end the war without getting all of Donbass (all 4 oblasts to be exact), and afterwards they can call it quit without loosing face to their own population Putin can survive politically if Donbass is captured and the rest of Ukraine is left independent. Of course he will want more if allowed but I doubt he would continue much further given the damage the war does to Russia. Putin cannot potentially survive politically if not all of Donbass is captured
  7. Of course it does, but at what cost? Neither can Ukraine, it has 4x less population. Motivation to defend your country can only take you so far. Especially with the global shortage of advanced Western air defense weapons due to Trump "genious" Iran war. This winter will be brutal... Putin may be removed from office if he cannot sell the war as a victory in Russia which can mean death in a country like Russia He is too far gone to just call it quits A mobilization will happen in Russia if the war goes on much longer Do not underestimate how stubborn Russians can be The situation is very complicated as Ukraine cannot trust a Russian peace deal without NATO membership or presence of NATO troops in Ukraine which to Russia is the whole pretex they used to start the war. So both sides are stuck. And lets not forget Putin is not the only pro war person in Russia, someone even worse may replace him.
  8. A campaign of public shaming and calling them traitors or self hating Israelis etc would be closer to what I would expect from a democracy Using state institutions like arresting or taking away citizenship seems more of something you would expect in an autocracy
  9. The guy is not even Jewish yet he defends Israel with more passion than most Jewish people He is either paid or has some messed up backstory that makes him like this
  10. @Raze This guy is just so shamelesss I wonder why he is so hateful, bigoted and overall gross individual Anyone know his backstory?
  11. It is a PR win for Ukraine but I do not see how this will actually help much with their current situation If more than anything, it will lead to Russia become more shameless with their attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure It is interesting though to see the impact it has on the internet especially since I heard AFD fans suddendly dropped, showing Russia is indeed supporting AFD
  12. https://www.euronews.com/2026/10/13/benjamin-netanyahu-orders-prosecution-of-naza-documentary-interviewees @Nivsch Is it me or Netanyahu and the current far right government likes to act in a non democratic way? I feel if they could, they would turn Israel into an autocracy I do not think Lapid for eg would act like this Or am i wrong?
  13. It is even worse than that Leo They get joy of killing people who are objectively innocent, 3 year old kids because they think those 3 year olds will grow up to become demons It is even worse than killing someone because you do not like their current views, attitudes or mindset They are killing people in advance to ensure they will not become future threats At least with adults you can rationalize "these people hate so me better kill them" It is barbaric mindset from medievil times where this attitude was the norm
  14. Syria Ukraine and Gaza and Rwanda and Cambodia had information Only Sudan did not Saying what you did is very manipulative and dishonest because you take 1/6 cases as the "norm"
  15. Random statistic I found which is quite telling about how much worse Gaza war is than other ongoing conflicts in terms of how the population living there is affected. Life expectancy in the Gaza Strip dropped from a pre-war average of 75.5 years to approximately 40.5 years (a decrease of about 46.3%) during the first 12 months of the conflict, according to research published in The Lancet and studies by the Max Planck Institute for Demographic Research. [1, 2] Syria The Syrian civil war caused a severe drop in the country's average life expectancy, reducing it from roughly 75–79.5 years before the conflict to about 55.7 years at the height of the crisis in 2014 Ukraine https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.DYN.LE00.IN?locations=UA It has literally grown Sudan I could not find good statistics, some said it grew some said nothing. I wish more analysists would mention this as it is quite telling in terms of how brutal a war is on the overall population For example Rwanda during the genocide Pre-Genocide (1993): Life expectancy was approximately 42.94 years During the 1994 Rwandan genocide, life expectancy at birth in Rwanda plummeted to an average of 12.16 years (dropping to 11.41 years for men and 13.33 years for women Cambodia during the genocide Throughout the 1975–1979 Pol Pot regime, the metric hovered between 11 and 15 years—a sharp crash from the pre-war baseline of over 42 years in 1960 This somewhat proves that Gaza war is more similar to a genocide than a conventional war (like Ukraine) in terms of the impact it has on the population
  16. A guy with an interntional arrest warrant for crimes against humanity that will not dare go to court and face his charges is your favourite? I am geniounly amazed
  17. @Nivsch What do you think about this? I wrote it to try to help you understand where the position is coming from I am reporting what i have noticed by talking to people and also contemplation to understand the situation and why every side is how it is
  18. I think this is the reason Israelis were already semi genocidal even before October 7th and that pushed them over the edge Americans were not towards anyone in August 2001
  19. I am sorry I still do not understand I mean after 9/11 USA population at large did not have the genocidal mindset Israel seems to have after October 7th This is what I dont understand I am talking here about the overall society, not a few politicans
  20. I think people are usually exposed to genocidal sentiment of Israelis towards Palestinians than the other way around given the social media feeds and the amount of content created in general showcases it a lot more on the Israeli side. Also I think people believe Palestinians are more justified to be hateful than Israelis given the fact that Palestinians have historically died like 40 times more and live under a brutal occupation Israel is a very good place to live all taken into account and Palestine is not That makes people think when Israel is genocidal it comes out of "evilness" meanwhile Palestinian hateful sentiment comes out of "their life is shit because of Israeli occupation and oppression" "Why are people who live in a good first world country so hateful, they must be evil" Meanwhile for Palestinians it is like : "These people live so badly, are oppressed, no rights, get bombed, dont have a state, ofc they will be so hateful, it is normal" This is how many think
  21. How come USA did not become genocidal like this after 9/11? Like they did attack countries but they were not genocidal in their mindset Is it because USA is more developed or because Israel already had a deep hatred towards Palestinians that made them overeact a lot more than other countries would? Or historical trauma that makes them overly sensitive?
  22. I took a look for the first 5 pages I had already seen a lot of this type of content in Tik Tok and Instagram and Telegram feed What is really distrubing is that the majority majority of the footage is childreen That is what I think makes this conflict stand out from others in the 21st century In Syria, Ukraine, Sudan etc the vast majority of the deaths are adults, like 90% Here it is almost 50-50 Almost 40% i think Killing childreen is seen as the most evil thing someone can do which is why Israel is so hated these days
  23. Do you apply the same standard for the Gazans who commited october 7th who went through similar if not worse by previous Israeli actions? You do realize the 2014 war in Gaza alone caused more suffering amongs the Gazan civilian population than October 7th did on Israel At least be uniform consistent
  24. I cant talk for Raze but I never claimed otherwise I said it here as well But saying "All Gazans are guilty" and shit is not a serious argument which he makes That is why I cannot take him seriously
