Don't kill the human shield? You don't kill the hostages in a hostage situation. Well, if you're not Israel, at least. They seem fine with killing Israeli hostages as well and just blaming the other party for killing them by them not moving them out of the way of IDF bombs.

You can drop a bomb in the middle of a crowd of people and still claim to not have been targeting the people, they were just there. Doesn't really change the evilness of the action one way or the other.

It's a stalemate, largely. While Russia was massively on the backfoot earlier in the year, they mined massive swaths of eastern Ukraine before partially retreating.

Which makes it unlikely for Russia to actually have any future forward progress, but it also stymies Ukraine from doing the same except extremely slowly. There's still been several victories for Ukraine over the past few months, but they haven't changed the fighting area much.

It's largely a war of attrition to wear down Russia now, who has been having more and more internal issues as time goes on.

Sorry, but we really weren't interested in hearing about the warped worldview of tankies in this thread.

We've got that already on Kbin.social. :)

And it should be noted that their retraction statement doesn't even mention or detail what the article is in question or what it was about. So still trying to hide their failures even to the end.

Thank goodness Twitter still has Community Notes by users (for now, since Elon wants it removed because it keeps correcting his lies).

Yes, but he had already thrown his weapon away and had his hands in the air surrendering. We shouldn't be killing all bad guys once they've surrendered either.

Yes, but it's behind a paywall: https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2023-12-01/ty-article/.premium/israeli-soldier-who-killed-civilian-during-response-to-attack-we-shot-until-they-fell/0000018c-25c7-dc03-a9ec-3dff4f720000

Did the IDF ever even give any evidence that the ambulance convoy they bombed did have one with Hamas members? Also, Hamas members that were using it as secret transport and not wounded members that were just hospital patients at that point?

We don't actually know how much Biden has really been doing. By all indications, Qatar and Egypt were more influential in getting the ceasefire to happen.

And the US just sent a bunch of new high powered weaponry over to Israel for destroying buildings better: https://www.wsj.com/world/middle-east/u-s-sends-israel-2-000-pound-bunker-buster-bombs-for-gaza-war-82898638

And apparently one of the four main people in the US government with influence on proceedings is a pro-genocide maniac who is happy for things to proceed as they are so long as it makes money: https://www.huffpost.com/entry/biden-national-security-adviser-brett-mcgurk-israel-palestinen656936c0e4b07b937ff4287f?4q

For those who are unaware, the soldier who killed Castleman is a member of the Hilltop youth, which is a known extremist pro-settler group who want to get rid of all Palestinians in West Bank. The soldier had actually been interviewed prior to this and stated that he was really excited to "check that box", ie kill a Palestinian for the first time.

Good. Slow progress, but progress nonetheless. The more we can prevent made up conditions like "excited delirium" from being used, the more protected we can be from police abuse.

EMTs don't want to stand up to police because police officers like to threaten them if they don't follow what the cops say to do.

Before someone tries to make the claim, no, the hospital staff couldn't have taken the babies with them. These were premature babies in oxygen-saturated powered incubators, which could not be moved.

Possibly if a fully set up ambulance was available for each baby, it could be done, but the IDF has been bombing ambulances too and there aren't that many available anyways.

Nice! Though is that included in the most recent booster?

I don't believe the most recent vaccine released is fully up to date with the most recent ascendant variants. Unfortunately, even with the increased speed of conception and production that mRNA vaccines allow, large-scale viral pathogens still manage to mutate at a faster rate.

If the rate of spread was reduced through other measures than just vaccinations, we'd have a better capability to create up to date versions in time to be relevant.

But we're not doing any such measures, are we?

How has the White House been stonewalling anything? They've been staying out of it entirely, as has the DOJ seemingly. It's just that y'all conservatives have been failing at proving anything whatsoever about Hunter and have just been making yourselves look like idiots.
