Palestine

A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Disarming NATO lol

NATO countries donating outdated equipment and using it as an excuse to buy new toys. Yes totally disarmed.

It's cost the US 3%of it's Military budget to have Russian capabilities utterly crippled. And this conflict has encouraged inter-european cooperation and strengthened NATO logistics for minimal year-over-year cost increase. However, as Russia is finding out, Europe does not need Russian energy.

Good luck using the "new toys" without the munitions for them!

According to top US generals they're actually stronger than before the war started, cope harder

Europe is buying Russian gas and oil at a markup from third parties like India to evade sanctions, America is literally buying DIRECTLY from Russia, both at above the "market cap" they tried to set lol

America also pays billions for nuclear energy from Russia: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/14/climate/enriched-uranium-nuclear-russia-ohio.html

100% of the Russian armed forces is either dead or wounded? You can't seriously believe these insane propaganda numbers LMFAO

Who's fighting against the Ukrainian army? Ghosts? Zombies? Fucking clown.

Me thinks that you don't understand logistics or math. If Russia started the invasion with 360,000 troops and more than $360,000 troops have been wounded then that would be a 100% casualty rate. Fortunately for Russia. Unfortunately, for Russians, there are a lot of men in Russia and the Russian leaders like to use meat grinder tactics.

From what are analysts are able to scratch up roughly 80% of the combatants that have seen action have been wounded thus far. Replacements have been regularly cycled in.

Hey dipshit, did you read the link you posted? That's the number I'm referencing. It claims that 1.107.480 out of 900.000 troops have been wounded, can you figure out how we know this is obvious bullshit? Hint: one of the numbers is a bit higher than the other.

Unfortunately, for Russians, there are a lot of men in Russia and the Russian leaders like to use meat grinder tactics.

But according to your link they've already run out of men. Also, the Russian ground forces are only about ~550.000 troops, you expect me to believe that an additional ~557.480 from the navy and air force were also injured? In a land war? IN A NAVY OF ~160.000 AND AN AIR FORCE OF ~165.000? THESE NUMBERS ARE LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE!

They're clearly trying to evoke the "muh asiatic hordes" idea and imply that they're conscripting ridiculous amounts of people because they've already lost all their actual soldiers

It's especially ludicrous for them to say that, it's such obvious blatant projection when there's overwhelming evidence that Ukraine is the one doing that, even the mainstream media is admitting it these days
