Probably because they're not? Demonstrably so, as already stated? Deaths alone, even in mass numbers, don't rise to the bar of 'genocide'. Especially when those dying are from the population that instigated the conflict in which they're dying.

Hamas *is* stating their goal as being to kill every Israeli in "self defence". They literally are, their words. Hey, look, if they can be successful and win, achieve their goal, more power to 'em. But they don't get to complain about losing, about their sworn enemy taking off the gloves in...

Yasar, if you don't think Israelis are fighting "for the defence of their homeland", I don't really know what you tell you. That's a lost cause for anyone thinking otherwise. RMZN, none of that applies when it's in retaliation to an attack. And to reiterate, Gazans have skyrocketed in...

A little skeptical in the sense that first it was "1000" now it's "2000", but yeah, rising casualty numbers do make sense in recent weeks. The qualifier of course being that that's because there's been a lot of fighting and Russia's beaten back the Ukrainians to take more of their land, so...

Yeah, it's a little concerning. I figure a lot of that stuff's probably just the Fo News blowhard stuff, "owning the libs" or whatever (seems that's dated 2019 during covid), and I get what he probably *means* in the sense that we've all probably got a little too overzealous with the "can't be...

Words have meanings. Genocide doesn't simply mean a lot of people dying in a war. You know this.

...Which would be the point. If they were Nazis, if they were committing a genocide, surely Gaza's population wouldn't have increased many times over since the 90s. If the Israelis wanted them gone, they're plenty capable of doing it. They haven't. Ruh roh, logic problem blowing up in the...

Okay. Not the majority of American voters though, going by the election. Including, you know, the Michigan Palestinians. They know Trump'll be more bullish on Gaza, more lenient with Netanyahu, and still their protest vote was filed.

Dude. Why *wouldn't* they use plentiful North Korean cannon-fodder instead of their own guys, if it's on offer? That doesn't mean there aren't a shitload more Russian men they can throw into this thing. There are, Russia's barely really mobilized much at all for this conflict. They're not...

Heh. Yeah, I've always said considering Gaza's constant population increase over the decades, if Israel's playbook here is "genocide" then they're curiously fucking incompetent at genocide. Nobody would accuse them of being "incompetent" at anything else, not really what they're known for over...

Again, the point is that it doesn't *matter* if Russian casualties are at a higher rate than Ukraine's, even if one can prove that. They can eat the losses with a grimace and and continued marching on, Ukraine can't. A grinding war of this nature goes Russia's way in 100% of any scenarios...

Yeah, he probably won't last long. Kind of an odd choice considering Trump's posture in the campaign, I guess unless it's just another of the bluster moves like with NK, start rattling the saber and have Putin convinced the U.S. won't stop with the supplies, making him more amenable to talking...

A lot of the actual factories and stuff aren't in the west of Russia, I doubt Ukraine can do a whole lot in terms of nullifying the equipment coming through. At least in more than a symbolic way, in some manner that actually turns the tide. As far as the second part, who knows. I'd venture...

I mean, they're objectively gaining ground, every western government acknowledges that. A thousand dead grunts a day is bad news for the Rooskies if true, but it's nothing the people won't accept or the military can't absorb in the name of progress. Again, every guy Ukraine loses is...

Oh my god. Funding the mujahadeen 20 years prior means we don't get to go in and kick ass after being attacked? Dumb take. Iraq's one thing, there's a legitimate debate there, but any country was going into Afghanistan after suffering a 9/11. That's not instigation, that's a reckoning.

I, too, have difficulty telling the difference between a soccer riot and widespread armed conflict. :rolleyes: Hey man, claim your sports brawl as a victory. You get the bragging rights over the hooligans at a kid's game, they get the victory in the war. Sounds like a good deal for them. As...

They'll dish it out toward your buddies a thousandfold, if they insist on wanting the fight.

I mean, delusional as that is if true, I guess the logic is consistent. If you're not mentally capable of running for president, you sure as hell shouldn't *be* president.

"Highest losses since ____ " isn't a great way to look at this. If Russia's known for *anything*, militarily-speaking, it's eating losses and continuing on. It's literally their thing. Pick a war, any war, ever, this is generally the way it goes. Russia fucks up to begin with, totally...

More Ale Jones level stuff from the Scott-Dawg. Also, just have to point out the irony of you being "Scott Summers" on here, the pro-minority character created by a pro-Israel Jew. Your own namesake would hate you and everything you stand for. Good job, chief!
