  1. Low numbers of HAMAS fighters eliminated according to HAMAS.
  2. Lol this source seems to be very objective! Advertises hamas literature!
  3. I don,t justify or rationalize anything! It is very clear that this war has created enormous human suffering, it only needs to be said to those who are ignorant and do not really understand what is happening here.
  4. Where do you think the people living in Israel would be today if they had not had a strong military capability?
  5. This loose standard is probably also a tactic, that sends a clear message to Hezbollah and other groups/states considering involvement.
  6. Btw, Israel's security apparatus could not predict the 2000+ rockets fired by hamas on 7/10 but had detailed info about one particular rocket that happened to hit the hospital, with audio of the very two who fired it. I guess I'm not the only one who sees the absurdity of this...
  7. Seems more like the London tube network than some tunnels though....
  8. It's bombed alright, just wrote what (I heard) the IDF was saying, not knowing for sure they even said that, but probably they did
  9. What I understand the Israeli military says it is unclear whether the hospital was hit by an Israeli airstrike or a misfire by Hamas.
  10. Hamas is a movement that permeates most of Gaza, to go after Hamas basically means destroying all of Gaza
  11. Seems like hamas systematically used hospitals for military infrastructure
  12. He already lost Cherson back to Ukraine which is the largest and most important region of the four so far annexed.
  13. Yes, The aid that Ukraine receives is carefully calculated from each country to optimize their own position in this.
  14. The outcome of this war will most likely be decided on the battlefield. It is unlikely that the Russian public will stop the war as Putin primarily recruits minorities far from Moscow and even if discontent grows, it will take a long time in authoritarian Russia to form an organized public opinion which would have such great influence.
  15. @Hello from Russia You belong to those who are not at risk of being mobilized?
  16. Why this conflict is so large and risks continuing for the foreseeable future is largely due to Putin's misjudgments, like Bush In Iraq but the US would probably not be willing, as Russia is now doing, to throw in another 300,000 soldiers for cannon fodder after just losing (estimated) 50,000+ soldiers. Most Americans were in favor of the war in Iraq, most Russians probably don't care about Putin's dream of Mother Russia. Also hard to see that the US would violate as many laws of war as Russia have already done. The brutality of this war is more reminiscent of a civil war in Africa than the Iraq war.
  17. Many knew that Putin was gradually being pushed into a corner, however, he lowered the threshold for brutality in a way that not many leaders in Europe thought possible.
  18. That is exactly his aim! This is a war strategy foremost. 100+ medical facilities bombed in Ukraine is a strategy not a consequence. The better the war goes for Putin, the bigger the target will be, his goal in march was to take over all of Ukraine, things didn't go his way and THEN he said our main goal is Donbas and Crimea.
  19. Massmurders of civilians and children, attack on hospitals, torture, rape etc. were before this war not considered as a rebalancing move by many leaders in the west.
  20. A favorite interpretation of a favorite piece https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vp_h649sZ9A
