Didn’t happen in a vacuum though, did it.

Do not confuse me saying that with sympathising with Hamas. It is possible to recognise that both sides have bloody hands, and have done for decades.

Yes. This is a inflammatory headline purely to try and push an agenda.

There was literally a poll a couple of months ago that showed something like 80% of Ukrainians were in favour of not having elections.

Not to even mention that Ukraine is under Marshall Law, and per their laws disallows elections. And don’t even get me started on the entire premise of running elections in a country where a quarter of the landmass is under enemy occupation and the logistics of getting votes from 100s of thousands of deployed troops and the serious security concerns of the election itself from Russian attacks.

In my opinion Newsweek have just outed themselves here and the question is for who?

Froggy prophet.

…that is what I said? Weird that you would effectively just repeat me.

At least they’re hitting the things they’re aiming for, regardless of what the target may or may not be cough Russia Cough

Also, it’s worth knowing that Israel have told people within Gaza City to move away and out of the outskirts into the centre, which apparently many Palestinians have heeded. Unfortunately many also have not.

And the reason why we are so desperate for a AV/PR type system.

If we did then the different shades of each side could legitimately find their own place and voice.

Yes that means that you give a small voice to those you may not want to, but you also get a small voice yourself. That’s democracy.

Ryan McBeth has done a fairly succinct video on it.

It’s very high level and skips a lot of nuance, but you get the idea.

One does not excuse the other.

It isn’t mutually exclusive.

Israel has been terrorising Palestinians and HAMAS has also be terrorising Israelis.

What are you talking about?

Both can be true. That Israel has been terrorising Palestinians, and that HAMAS is terrorising Israel.

Man, Putin sure showed everyone by refusing to renew the Black Sea Grain Deal, eh.

It would really put pressure on the world and Ukraine if they no longer ‘ensured security’ of Ukrainian shipping out of the Back Sea.

Oh wait. Seems that the Black Sea fleet has been shown up to be the wet armpit it always was by checks notes a bunch of remote controlled speed boats and flying explosives.

Yes, my bad. Total brain melt moment.

Nothing.

There’s absolutely zero point in discussing this.

It’s pure whistleblowing dogwhistle and deflection politics. And that’s it.

Edit: Mixed up whistling. Tired and distracted.

It’s okay. I’ll take that x7.

Not because I like them, or even see the point with SUVs.

But it’ll be nice to sit in the oppulence for a couple of minutes before I sell it.

Pfft. Sounds like free cars to me.

Would have been nice if they had left the keys…I think I would have considered it if I knew I wasn’t coming back. But those all look like they were driven by the rich.

Hopefully the local authority do something interesting with them when they get ownership. Donating Ukraine for example. I’d imagine that even if they are too difficult to get keys for they, the more common/utilitarian vehicles can break for important spares.

That said, I’m sure then cars pictured are likely indicative of the whole range that has been left, so probably not.

The discussion is about the pointlessness of the magazine restrictions. I’m aware of ballistics and the ease of different systems to shoot, but since it’s not about that, it wasn’t mentioned.

And in regards to the final point, yes. That is literally what is being said.

Cigarettes are consumable. And ICE cars are naturally being phased out for EV examples, not being banned with no alternative.

The examples are non sequitur.

Those of all castes are fighting on the Ukrainian side.
