Hey, #gringos. The war in #Ukraine is a tragedy, and a crime, and thousands of civilians have been killed and war crimes committed, by both sides.

But in all its cruelty and destruction, it PALES when compared to 3 months of genocide in #Gaza.

More than twice as many civilians have been killed, in way less time.

There has been a SYSTEMATIC destruction of hospitals and vital infrastructure.

There’s clear intent to expel all Palestinians from #Gaza.

1/2

    I’m afraid you’re missing the significance of why these people sided against Russia in the first place: all of their opinions are aligned with what they think benefits first-world countries. Russia has finally accepted there is no future of it being allowed to be a sub-imperial power like Turkey or Saudi Arabia, and it is engaging in bilateral development with China, DPRK, and many third-world countries in the same fashion China has been lending to them. So, it must be destroyed, like China, because it cannot be enclosed. Look at all of the countries that the US has invaded for the past 3-4 decades, tiny peripheral countries it could achieve enclosure of (Panama, Guatemala, Chile) at first, or simply leave destabilized (Libya, Iraq, also Chile).

        I think that’s a very concise description. Glad I didn’t come across rude, yes the vassals can be mapped out comprehensively. Japan and Europe and SK and Aus are our favorite vassals. This reminds me I promised to get someone else Nike’s map of the value chains. There’s a step by step ladder of poor nations to maximize exploitation.
