Yeah but cessnas aren't worth many victory points so they're way behind the Russian s-300 with a 777 stenciled on the side in the race to a domination victory

How do they update this kill-list when they shoot for example another plane down? Color it all over and start from scratch? It seems so impractical - why not just have a bunch of stars or turds or whatever and not differentiate between kill types? Makes me doubt this is legit. I am sure there are S-300-s out there that have shot down Russian poo poo but that list seems strange to me

I imagine some bored soldier went through the log books or whatever and painted them all on there at once.

They are not all in order. Theres a break between missles and helicopters. Still seems kind of outrageous getting that many helis or planes in a row. But we arent there so shrug.

Ps. No i dont know history. Yes i make it up as i go along. And yes im a dumb dumb most of the time. Sometimes i want to just post.

It is in order, it just starts on the bottom right and loops around.

It's either fake or was done all at once.

If it starts on bottom right and loops around then either the missiles or helicopters are not in order. I actually don't know if it's fake or not, but it doesn't seem like "they're all in perfectly grouped order" is a clue, since either way you draw them, either the missiles or helicopters are interrupted. Now they likely probably just drew them all on at once either way, fake or not.

The American invasion of Iraq was rife with torture and destruction of civilian lives and infrastructure, so Chomsky opposed it.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is rife with torture and destruction of civilian lives and infrastructure, so Chomsky defends it.

Makes perfect sense to me!

Not rife in the sense of a torture basement being set up in every village as a matter of procedure and used on a random selection of people explicitly believed to be harmless.

The US certainly tortures with more finesse, but all 50 black sites and dozens of mobile sites were probably not great places filled to the brim with defense attorneys and human rights organisations.

Russia probably uses torture as a form of terror more than the US does, but I don't think either side needs to be defended by someone like Chomsky. It strips him of any sliver of credibility he still had.

Have you got a link any articles like that? I don't think I've seen a single guardian article taking that stance, they're all pretty firmly anti-war.
