They literally live in mud huts.... With dish tv, electricity, all the stuff. It's just their culture, but I'd agree their religion plays a part as well. But then again some of the ass backwards stuff in the US is backed by religion. You can still believe in your religion but not carry that into every aspect of your life. Again it's just a cultural disconnect that most westerns cannot fathom.

Not on the scale being implied in the narrative. The current narrative is that Russians are Nazis, they are attempting a systemic genocide of Ukrainians, and that Putin has plans to invade all of Western Europe.
By painting Russia as an existential threat, it justifies escalating military involvement and massive defense spending.

So, if I understand your perspective correctly, you're suggesting that the reported systematic starvation of Ukrainian POWs by Russia is driven primarily by cruelty rather than a strategic or calculated motive.
You're implying a form of bureaucratic and administrative cruelty that starts at the top and diffuses down through the ranks, disregarding any rational assessment of how it might negatively impact Russia's objectives?
Deliberately starving POWs egregiously violates international humanitarian law and would also be strategically counterproductive.
The notion of unchecked, state sanctioned cruelty suggests a level of systemic participation that would be impossible to conceal or justify to world and to Russia's citizens; especially in the age of information dissemination and scrutiny.
It's a self-defeating approach and it betrays all of Russia's political objectives.

I am suggesting they are being cruel because that is what they do. It is strategically counterproductive. By torturing, abusing, and starving POW's, they are creating a massive disincentive for Ukrainian units to surrender, and together with their abysmal and often genocidal treatment of civilians in occupied territory, they have crystallized this as an existential war for Ukraine, guaranteeing that they will never willingly surrender.
It is a an odd strategy. It worked for them in WW2 sort of, but the strategic landscape is completely different.

Just to add while starving POWs to death would galvanize your opponent against you, there is some strategic value in starving them just enough to keep them weak enough that any attempt at rising up or trying to escape are much more unlikely to succeed.

Anybody who even remotely understands the Putin regime knows that Putin is not interested In long term peace only short term ceasefires and “peace process” to regroup and go on the attack again.

Israel one of the most evil countries on the planet? You can't be serious. This is just ignorance.
As a woman, I can walk around by myself safely in Israel. Israel doesn't disrespect, disdain, hate, oppress, abuse or belittle half their population for starters. All countries that do are more evil.
Same applies to religious/philosophical/political minorities, LGBT, children, ethnic minorities, etc. Israel has 25% ethnic minority population of Arab Muslims and Bedouins. They have the same civil rights as the Jews.
All countries are cheating in the international poker game of geopolitics, all of them are acting in their own best interest, all of them would leverage their might to get things the way they want. All of them. And since what Israel wants is far more inclusive, equal, free and constructive than what Palestinian Gaza wants, with their current government, as a lefty, critical support for Israel just makes far more sense.

Palestinians are dying exactly because this isn't a superhero film. Contrary to what seems to be a popular belief, you can't just send in a handful of plucky heroes and have them rescue all the hostages while killing only actual terrorists pure due to the power of one-liners and being good guys. In real world, sending boots into a hostile, urban area where every house, car, corner or a manhole can contain an enemy, anything big enough to hold a booby trap is likely to have one, and you can't tell civilians from combatants until they draw weapons or spontaneously blow up is suicide. Not to mention the tunnels. Actual urban warfare is an ugly thing, and people are going to die. Best you can do is to try and minimize how many.
And Americans ignoring it? Really? Because I could have sworn I've read quite a few articles on Biden pressuring for ceasefire and threatening to withdraw support unless Israel takes measures to minimize the casualties. That sounds like the opposite of ignoring to me.

Can I ask what the size of the school is (assuming a college)? 45% sounds a bit high and like a very dumb decision for a schools investment fund considering you'd want to diversify a lot more. Typically the direct investment is minimal because the smart move for school and really anyone is index funds and riding the market rather than big direct investment.

The IDF has killed 30x the civilians Hamas has. One is worse and you're very confused about which. Get fucked with precision weaponry. Dumb artillery and unguided GBUs are not precision weaponry. You have nfi what you're talking about. If you want to see a military in action that still kills civilians but operates to much more strict RoE, just look at anything the US has done in the last 30 years, they didn't fucking wipe out whole cities with "precision weaponry" and kill thousands in a few months

Like everyone mentioned under your comment, these were used by Americans.
However, the soviets did try this in WWII with the intended goal of running under a tank and blow up. However, they trained these dogs on Soviet tanks (like a T-34) instead of the German panzers.
What eventually happened was that in the noise and terror of real combat, the dogs instead went under their own Soviet tanks and blew up instead. I'm not sure if this is a result of a combination of or separate reasoning (my money is on combination)
1. The dogs would of course be scared and go to a place that's familiar where'd they'd be rewarded (under the Soviet tank)
2. The dogs were only trained on their Soviet tanks and went to the place they knew (under the Soviet tank)

In your worldview, is it a brilliant and un-counterable valid military tactic to simply put all your military infrastructure amid civilians and civilian infrastructure? So if a military puts an artillery position in the grounds of a school, or inhabited residential building, it just becomes automatically immune to attack, but can itself attack with impunity? Store your munitions in a refugee camp? Because that's what's actually happening every day, that is the reality.
Truly an enlightened gigabrain strategy, the next Sun Tzu.

I'm a middle aged white dude which means I've consumed somewhere between 20-30 thousand hours of WW2 documentary footage and novels.
If I recall correctly this was tried a few times, in rare instances, but they almost always stopped doing it immediately because in the chaos of war with loud shooting and explosions the dogs would often get scared and either run back to their handlers or run away from the action (not a good idea once you rigged them to explode).

They’re loyal, caring, and would do the same for us if capable of understanding. It’s basically the most pure love that living things are capable of on earth, they’re not related to you and would die for you. Hard not to feel the need to reciprocate

One side is the one who is being invaded
One side is the one who is attacked a music festival with paratroopers
One side is the one who is systematically evicted from their homes
One side is the one who is hearing sirens every other day from rocket attacks
One side is starving because of sanctions and controlled checkpoints
Etc and so on throughout history. You can play this game indefinitely; this beef goes back to biblical times.
How does a rational person look at the current clusterfuck and think: "*one* of these sides is justified"?
