Why would Putin pull out of Ukraine? Russia is currently advancing and has a much better position in this war of attrition, and the more it keeps gaining, the better the “peace terms” will be in the end. Putin’s not fearing for his next term since elections in Russia are manipulated, the Russian economy is alive and well, and in military terms he’s in no hurry

Iran was well on its way towards progressivism, secularism and ending absolute monarchy during the early 1950s, under the presidency of Mosaddegh. This implied developing the country and Iran profiting from its own oil, instead of giving all the profits to British Petroleum, so the US and UK did a military economic embargo of Iran, and staged a coup that reinstated the Shah. Iran could be a perfectly progressive and developed country today if it weren’t for the west destroying every country that attempts to take control of its own future.

AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.comto World News@lemmy.world•'Unprecedented Mass Deployment' of Warplanes Across Atlantic Fuels Fears of US War on Iran | Common DreamsEnglish3·15 hours agoHow come your analysis of escalation only includes enemy states of the USA? Escalation has happened already twice because of Israel, and the US literally threatened to invade Greenland and Canada, and is considering joining a war against Iran.
By those exact metrics, I consider myself capable of judging that Israel is committing a genocide against Palestinians, and that Russia is committing war but not genocide in Ukraine.
Hitler famously inspired his Lebensraum theory in the US example and the Manifest Destiny doctrine. The US successfully genocided almost the entirety of native Americans. So yes, I would make a similar claim for the USA
Israel is currently sliding away from this
It’s not. It’s the very conception of the state of Israel. It was funded through the Naqba, a forcible relocation of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians. The very idea of the modern state of Israel is genocidal and an apartheid ethnostate
as you call them, brown
I was obviously being critical of the disregard westerners exercise on the lives of those they consider non-whites, sorry you’re too obtuse to see that.
Don’t quite remember Germany being in Iraq or Lybia lately
Sorry, you’re right, I mixed up German involvement in the invasion of Afghanistan with Iraq. Germany did participate in the bombing of Libya during the NATO maneuvers that ended up precipitating the murder of Gaddafi and the Libyan Civil War.
equate Gaza and Ukraine with
Huh? Gaza and Ukraine are completely different conflicts. Ukraine is a military invasion, Gaza is a genocide.
No, not according to the current definition
Can you post the current definition? I’m happy to argue about that, because i do maintain that it’s a genocide in the case of Gaza because there’s a manifest intent to eliminate an entire people, unlike the case of Ukraine.
I understand your explanation, I just think it’s more believable that holocaust remembrance is most often focused on those who stand on the side of NATO
trying to understand why Germany would support Isreal despite <waves at Israel in general>
The overwhelming media directive of being pro-pissrael is in my opinion the more likely reason
Yeah but according to the current legal definition, looking at the evidence, I can confidently claim it’s a genocide
I don’t abide by ICJ rulings, I abide by credible reporting and evidence. Compare the civilian deaths ratio in the Ukraine invasion (however bad they may be) to the one in Palestine
AES_Enjoyer@reddthat.comto World News@lemmy.world•Why Won't the Media Mention Israel's Nukes?English2110·3 days agoBut that’s just because you’re racist. Israel is the genocidal state, not Iran or Palestine
You want to force Jews into the diaspora again?
So, the only alternative to diaspora is an apartheid ethnostate in occupied land?
we like to keep to ourselves and not meddle in the affairs of others
Tell that to Yugoslavia, Libya or Iraq
What was done to the Jews under the Nazis was so unspeakable terrible, and German society as a whole has done an enormous job at ingraining in themselves that nothing of the sort should ever repeat itself
Nazi Germany also murdered more than 10 million Russians, both civilians and soldiers, and had a literal genocidal plan against slavic peoples (Generalplan Ost), and yet they don’t support the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Almost as if the whole “holocaust shame” thing was a myth, and it was used to manufacture consent towards Israel’s genocide of Palestinians.
Probably the endless degradation of worker rights, welfare state, salaries and infrastructure since 2008, coupled with the rise of the far right?
Yeah, the US empire sadly won’t be pulling out its bases from the EU anytime soon. I wish it did, though
