PICK UP THAT PRESENT.


Zelensky's Zealots

Zero VGS posted:

He's saying it because building anti-terror cooperation with Israel is a good idea. Both countries are in the business of intercepting missiles aimed at civilians, and the more tech and resources they share with each other the better. You think he would risk picking a side if he didn't (correctly) think his choice would benefit Ukraine eventually?

Also apart from "we condemn this attack on civilians", which, obviously, don't underestimate maintaining good diplomatic relations in order for Ukrainians in the region to have good support getting out of there. It may not be Biden but I'm sure the State Department and US regional embassies are putting effort into the same thing.

Even if Israel has only provided Ukraine with lukewarm support at best, Israel's allies have for the most part supported Ukraine, and Hamas' allies for the most part Russia. It's an easy choice to make for Zelensky.

I mean, obviously, but my point is that it doesn't matter with regard to the war and I'd rather avoid the endless I/R fighting that'll get the thread shut down permanently.

I wonder why Zelensky would condemn attacks of zero military value that entirely sought out civilian targets to mass murder and rape in the most shocking and traumatic ways possible. It's probably a complex web interests and real-politik that only the most brilliant IR expert could decode.

Then why do you call it 'dumb' for Zelensky to condemn staging murder-rape raids on civilians?

EDIT: Much less pandering.

Because Zelenskyy is on the receiving end of a larger more powerful country making GBS threads on the country he is president of. Much like how Israel, a larger more powerful country is making GBS threads on Palestine.

If you notice, he hasn't done murder-rape raids on civilians in Russia. You seem to be implying that these attacks are justified because Israel sucks. I think my initial assessment was correct.

No he hasn't. Hamas has. I'm not condoning the actual acts of hamas. I'm making GBS threads on Israel who have spent decades making GBS threads on Palestine which has spawned this evil that is currently happening to Israeli citizens. Israel created hamas due to treating Palestine like utter poo poo for decades.

No poo poo that Hamas did the attacks. I'm saying the reason why he's condemning the attacks is because he thinks they are bad matter who the other side is. Which is why he isn't doing the same in his war. Because they are bad. There is nothing dumb or pandering to go "Doing this sucks and is awful."

You say you don't condone it, sure, but you also don't blame them for it and also call someone who is condemning it 'dumb' for doing so.

Hey friends here's an idea: please do keep talking about Israel vs Palestine in this, the Ukraine thread. This is exactly what everyone wants to read here and will definitely not have the thread shut down or anything

Re Ukraine, Reuters reports that some Ukrainian official is saying Russia is expected to massively increase their drone strikes over this winter. Last winter the count was approx 1,000 Shaheds over six months, this year it's already been 500 Shaheds in September alone. This seems bad

Ok sorry about that back to how this is all about Palestine somehow
