*“Just say you support Palestinian genocide.”*Nope, I don’t.
How Israelis was handing the Palestinians was disgusting and not something any reasonable person could condone.
How the Palestinians where handling Israelis was disgusting and not something any reasonable person could condone.
What Hamas did is not something any reasonable person could condone.
How the Israeli government is responding is not something any reasonable person can condone.
All can be true at the same time. I’m not in any way able to see a way out of the conflict in that part of the world, unfortunately I can only see the horror that unfolds there.
Seems like they indeed are. And the diabolic dilemma for Ukraine is “beggars can’t be choosers”. We can only hope the system is mature enough and helps saves lives.
“that people are blaming Hamas for this attack happening”
What?! You consider it propaganda blaming people that actually perpetrated the attack/slaughter?
Whatever you mean to say about the right wing war mongers in the Israeli government “wanting this war to happen” might even be true, but trying to whitewash Hamas is a vile injustice to what happened.
Well said! And it’s good that more experts in the field also start demanding the media do their job and stop being propaganda mouthpieces or regurgitation machines.
The Russian MOD kept the various pmc’s for one of several reasons, the most obvious would be:
Absorbing the soldiers completely takes time (keeping the command structure in place partially)
This way they can keep separate pay structures (via the companies that founded them, other pay scales etc)
Marketing (foreign countries would not want Russian military on their soil, but via a PMC there is some form of “deniability”)
The powers that be, have not come to an agreement on how to split up the carcass of the Wagner holdings across the world (apparently they hold gold mines and more).
But in the end all the various pmc’s fall under the MOD umbrella now.
All PMCs where rolled up into the MOD. The fact wagner did not want to sign is what led to the march on Moscow.
After that Wagner was still rolled up into the MOD partially, the rest just ceased to exist.
So all “Wagner” presence left in the world is now Russian MOD.
And if the videos prove it or not is separate from the point I made.
Doing the most damage to your enemy and keeping them off balance is the “game”. And if the MOD has to retask troops to protect their foreign holdings, Ukraine wins double. Russians can stop all of that by withdrawing to pre 2014 borders.
If we learned anything from the Trump term, the president has a lot of money at his disposal if you are brazen enough to warp the description and move the money around.
