    The second half of this video is literally 45 minutes of “but what about Russia mr second thought.” Making the bizarre claim that if Israel is doing ethnic cleansing, then Russia is also doing it. That would be true if we were talking about I don’t know, Chechans in 1996, but Ukraine in 2024?

    What’s the difference between Chechnya and Ukraine tho?

    I know the speed of which Israel is killing is probably more than that of Russia, when it comes to civilians

    25,000 dead in 3 months

    compared to

    10,000 dead in 2 years…

      In case of Ukraine war Russia is not deliberately targeting civilians, the military to civilian death ratio being like 40 or 50 to 1 speaks by itself, in this aspect it’s actually one of the most restrained big military operations in entire modern era.

      A history of right wing Israeli statements along the lines of, “From the river to the sea, all of Palestine belongs to us” and then marching militias supported by armies to forcibly depopulate areas of their Palestinian residents.

      I don’t think it’s the case that Russia is doing a deliberate cultural or ethnic genocide against Ukrainian people themselves. This is a conflict over territory, NATO encirclement, and self-determination for people in the Donbas.
