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.
