  • Legal definitions in the end are trying to turn a hammer into a scalpel.

    They don’t fucking matter for moral judgments.

    Israel is committing a genocide to anyone with even a highschool level knowledge of history. Want a simple definition that is very effective?

    Any government that intentionally withholds food, medicine, and potable water from a population it considers undesirable is intentionally committing genocide.

    Starvation is historically the most effective method and most used method of committing genocide. Everyone knows what the outcome is. Anyone trying to use legal definitions at this point is an asshole genocide denier trying to pretend they’re not.

    Like you.




  • Stories like this make me sad for the awareness of what war is and how it works that people don’t seem to have.

    It was required for Ukraine to hold either Bakhmut or Adviivka to hold the Donetsk region.

    Losing both inevitably meant a long series of withdrawals against an enemy with a significant artillery advantage and glide bomb advantage.

    It’s flat as a fucking pancake. Of course they’re going to have to fall back to a defensible position. But that particular region doesn’t have any.
