Given the Israeli position on military rape, it’s just a different flavor of attrocity.
But a 20 year old male? It’s easy to argue they could have been an enemy combatan
The age old problem of “excess males” solved by declaring open season on anyone with facial hair.
Well, you don’t want to waste space by adding the same file path twice
Whataboutism
Are you arguing the double taps are bad because they’re war crimes or because they’re Russian?
When Russia loses, their war crimes will be prosecuted.
America is on the cusp of pulling out of the ICJ entirely
double tap is in fact a strategy Russia is using
Hardly unique to the Russians. The “Collateral Murder” video of US war crimes in Iraq was from a helicopter employing a double-tap strategy on a group of civilians fleeing the area.
Also popular in Gaza and Lebanon, as employed by the Israelis. And in the Philippines, by the government against insurgents. And in India during the invasion of Kashmir. And by the Syrian and Turks in their war on ISIS. And, and, and…
Russia is a terrorist state, that must be stopped.
War is the act of committing crimes unimpeded. All states engaged in war are in the act of committing terrorism. When you hear people talk about “necessary evil”, this is the evil their necessitating.
Christ, if you could see the abysmal efficiency of business tier SQL code being churned out in the Lowest Bidder mines overseas…
Using a few terrabytes of memory and a stack of processors as high as my knee so they can recreate Excel in a badly rendered .aspx page built in 2003.
Persians absolutely malding right now.
It’s just cool to imagine a social media tool that’s monetized SWATing.
It’s ok to charge money to run a business.
They’re not charging money. They’re just throwing up a big sign demanding my email address.
They’ll just get a check for Infinity Money to keep going, because otherwise something something China Will Win.
Can’t do crimes if you’re rich. It’s in the Constitution
The original author (Jeremy Hsu) is misleading here with the term “screenshot every 500ms”.
“meta tags every 500ms” might be more accurate, but the end result is the same. The device is monitoring what you consume in order to aggregate data on your household.
The same cynical bullshit they pulled in Gaza. Everything that gets bombed is “Terrorist” in retrospect. And you should applaud the IDF for their “precision” strikes, because hey look how everyone under that bomb deserved to die, amirite?
We pretend it’s ok by saying that we have high accuracy high precision cluster bombs.
Why would you want precise cluster bombs? The whole point of a cluster munition is to spread the effect over a broad area.
They are doing very well
Its crazy to see people double down on this line two years into the conflict.
Nobody is doing well. This is a war of attrition that’s ruining Ukraine’s interior, devastating its population, and obliterating its economy. The absolute best thing you can say about the conflict is that Russians are also losing lots of blood. But that puts the terms of “victory” entirely within the scope of “How many dead Russians have we produced?” rather than “How much of Ukraine is there left to save?”
What they need is more weapons.
Who is going to be using them?
good.
Cluster bombs dropped across the country will be killing people decades after the war is over.
Absolutely hate this shit.
The supreme court is an altogether different branch of government
The British Parliamentary Ministerial system combines the Legislative and Executive branches. So even talking about “branches of government” goes out the window.
commonwealth countries also have supreme courts
They don’t have co-equal branches and their courts aren’t organized in the US Circuit model.
But even that’s beside the point. What’s at issue is a lifetime appointee (who gained the position through bribery) continuing to bribe an elected official to be favorable towards his political position. It’s pure patronage.
There isn’t a comparable position in the USA.
I might argue that the SCOTUS is at least approaching comparable. But then imagine Clarence Thomas letting Baron Trump borrow the RV he got from his billionaire sugar daddy Anthony Welters, executive VP at UnitedHealthCare.
And then imagine Trump appointing Welters to an advisory committee at HHS. That’s in the ballpark of what we’re dealing with.
