[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 18 points 1 year ago

People who really want you to buy their new and improved cluster bombs, obviously.

[-] invo_rt@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

What is a cluster bomb if not a very large collection of smaller bombs?

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

In this rules based order, the size of the bomb upon detonation is all that matters.

Silly tankie, you know nothing of civilized warfare.

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Instead of killing 100 with 1 bomb, they'll kill 200 with 50 bombs.

Think of how this will benefit weapons manufacturers

"We have outlined several steps to Israel to cause civilian casualties in-"

Aide handing me a note just saying "Reduce!"

"That is to say, we have oulined several steps to Israel to reduce the civilian population in-"

Aide frantically whispering "Less people dying!" in my ear

"The US wants lesser people to die."

[-] dead@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

They're actually doing the centrism meme where you have the right wing saying "I want to do genocide" and the left wing saying "I'm against doing genocide" and then the centrist liberal says "Let's compromise by only genociding half".

full article- https://archive.ph/I4nLP#selection-909.0-912.0

While the United States has increased the amount of intelligence that it is sharing with Israel, U.S. officials stressed they are not helping Israel pick targets for strikes.

absolute lies, contradicted by the NYT's own story 2 days ago about how the US is flying reaper drones over gaza to 'look for hostages' and are giving israel leads

[-] bdonvr@thelemmy.club 17 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

And anyway even if it were true - "Yes we know you've shown zero propensity to give any fucks about civilian lives, and sometimes it seems that's actually your aim, but here we'll help you anyway. The civilian casualties are totally on you bro."

It's the moral equivalent of setting up an open bar directly outside of an AA meeting.

This is the harm reduction I voted for ๐Ÿ˜

[-] DamarcusArt@lemmygrad.ml 19 points 1 year ago

"You don't need to use large bombs, small bombs will suffice because children are smaller and generally have a weaker constitution than adults."

[-] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

Kinder, gentler ~~machine gun~~ bombing hand

[-] PointAndClique@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Does this mean the US will send them non-lethal lethal aid in addition to the lethal aid?

[-] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

This is their attempt at quelling the growing sympathy towards Palestine.

[-] CthulhusIntern@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Even this lame-ass shit is probably too much for Israel.

Damn, thought that was an onion article for a second.

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
