    According to both Russia and the west, 1 million Russians have died. 100% with you about Gaza. I see the power dynamic differences and I see Israels openness regarding ethnic cleansing and colonization. But being quite about intentions to colonize doesn’t make it less insidious.

      So according to Russia, they had 1 million losses? Please provide a source because that would be more than weird, not too long ago credible evidence pointed to less than a tenth of that…

      It proves there’s a difference between a war and a genocide, with said genocide being complementary to settler colonialism too.

      Could you explain in depth what do you mean here? Are you referring to Russia?

        No no, I mean just because Ukraine never stated they were “this thing” That joining a western cause is by extension a colonial cause. So the difference to some extent, from Ukraine and From Israel, is saying the quiet part out loud and of course. That Russia can fight back.
