I’m going to go out and guess that around 40% of the population of Ukraine hasn’t been directly affected either by the front line itself or Russian terror bombing of major and minor cities. Around how accurate am I?

That may depend on the next US election. Article 5 is a little vague on the level of assistance that needs to be given. This is the relevant text, emphasis mine: >The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, **such action as it deems necessary,** including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area. So, if for instance, a tax evading whoremonger who has previously avowed not to honour Article 5 wins, he could potentially deem only thought and prayers necessary.

Come on man, I'm not saying Russia is better but the US destroyed democracy in my country a 100 years ago, installed a family of dictators that lasted until the late 70s and then funded the Contras starting a war that killed thousands. That helped to fuel the fire of hatred this country has for the US, now allied with Russia and China. How it couldn't turn into a shithole with such a history of interference? Can you really blame them when the alternative has proven to be way worse? Your interventions in Latin America, in fact, made everything worse.

If you look at the record, you will see the US had a lot more successes than failures in its effort to spread democracy. Most US allies happen to be very stable democracies. Democracy started emerging in the 80's in Latin America after the USSR collapsed and its malevolent influence was no longer destabilizing those countries. Democracy emerged in eastern Europe after the fall of the USSR as well.

It's just as self-deluding to think it's doing terrible when you have access to so many amenities that other nations would die for. I don't get your logic at all. It's almost like you're saying the same thing as me, "Look at the bigger picture", but I'm saying appreciate what we have, and you're stating, "But look what we don't have!" Neither of these views are mutually exclusive. You can appreciate what we have, and still push for better. I'm not denying that at all.

Even a war Europe is guaranteed to win will fuck up the continent for decades... That's why Ukraine needs to be supported now so Russia can be contained before it comes after NATO or the EU. If you think it's really an overstatement, go learn more about the damage caused by the world wars...

Barring nukes, then no, not really. The countries where the fighting happen would be fucked up, but Russia would quickly lose the ability to meaningfully strike past the border countries. The world wars are not a good comparison, the situation is completely different. Obviously, we should support Ukraine as much as they need, and more than we currently are. Even from a purely cynical perspective, having Ukraine stop Russia's ambition is just *extremely* cost effective from the perspective of everyone else.

Palestinians launch approximately no terrorism against anyone in Lebanon.  Either they aren't hating oppression consistently or launching terrorist attacks is more complicated than just hatred.  I'd in fact argue a combination of the two.  Indeed, strong evidence they haven't been pummeled to oblivion - look at Chechnia or Sri Lankan Tamils as examples of groups that were - the result was the end of terrorism, not more of it.

Yup. You always see phrasing like Hamas attacked Israel, and now Israel is attacking Gaza. There’s a deliberate attempt at separating Gaza and Hamas that isn’t warranted. You don’t see media outlets say the Likud party is attacking Gaza, they use Israel. Being fair, we should be saying Gaza/Palestine attacked Israel. After all every person in Hamas is a Gaza Palestinian. Somehow, all of Gaza has been absolved of its complicity of the crimes committed by Hamas. Hamas and Gaza Palestinians are effectively coterminous

What an absolute false equivalency. You are entirely ignoring the existence of those identifying as palestinian citizens of Israel that were also victims of Oct 7th. I can't beleive you're actually trying to compare Israel to the Jim Crow south when the Palestinians of Gaza are the ones who tend to be conservative religious fundamentalists that tend to cover their faces with bed linens like the KKK. Also quit talking about denying a group rights when you can't even be openly Jewish in Gaza without getting killed, the double standard you operate on is so obvious.

With the Palestinians having nothing to bargain with, being in a state of complete inferiority militarily, they ought to redefine what their goals are for statehood. They need to compromise more than Israel, but they refuse, hence a stalemate. At least the PLO managed to establish some semblance of West Bank sovereignty with two areas of the West Bank being under PA rule, but their corruption still keeps the West Bank struggling and under terroristic sentiment. This prevents them from gaining more sovereignty, if they refuse to demilitarize their ideology Israel will keep using that as a justification for what appears as radical defense in the face of such a militarily weak but ideologically strong force

If they are so worried about their children blown up, why they support the aggression that brought them to this position? You don't see the contradiction? Here is the thing - There is nothing the Palestinians consider more honorable than dying in the name of Islam. They believe martyrs go to heaven, and that life here is temporary. And due to that, they are pretty happy overall with how things are going. https://m.jpost.com/israel-hamas-war/article-805954

The really exciting part is that we've come a loooooong way in archaeological science and have a much better idea of what we're doing now even in comparison to two decades ago. So the artifacts/ecofacts along the with data we collect now are going to be much better recorded and preserved than before. Which is why they left a large part of the city unexcavated. I'm sure they'll be leaving a share for better archeologists in the future as well.

The sarcasm is specifically calling out the fact that the suffering of Sudanese people is disproportionately under reported / under supported by the West relative to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which is significantly over reported (proportionally speaking). The point of the sarcasm is to draw attention to the fact that, posts like this, don’t get anywhere near the engagement of a post (or article, or video, or whatever medium you like) about Israel or the Palestinians. It serves to remind people that they should not suffer from geopolitical tunnel vision. Personally I think it’s quite helpful because at worst it highlights hypocrisy (which is arguably a neutral outcome) and, on the other end of the spectrum, can hold the global community accountable.
