Reply to Drone crash near Moscow was failed attack, governor says by Msweet5300

> Moscow has accused Ukraine of being behind attacks on Russian military infrastructure during the war, but Kyiv has not confirmed this.

I mean, so what if they did? Why is everyone still acting like attacking Russia directly is off-limits?

They're going to do what they're going to do anyway and then make up excuses after the fact, so why on earth does everyone keep playing their stupid little game, which only really benefits Russia?

If it was, it would happen a lot more often. But it doesn’t. Instead, nearly all Palestinians who get killed is in firefights from both sides, and there have been plenty of times where settlers were arrested if they killed Palestinians.

This is also why on r/CombatFootage you’ll often see Israeli soldiers not even shooting at Palestinians holding guns where Israeli soldiers are operating because their rules of engagement forbid them from doing so.

Simple conclusion then is that pretty much everyrhing you wrote is verifiably false.

As it is, they've already had a de facto death penalty with settlers and Tsahal officers allowed to shoot Arabs for sport. Even countries that don't have or got rid of the death penalty, like Turkey, Russia, Colombia, etc. have it by other means with SWAT teams and brutally inhumane prison conditions.

Not all Germans are critical of this. I can guarantee you that AfD and Antideutsch are cheerleading this development, as well as very many Americans (including hardcore pro-Israel Democrats).

Remember that this kind of hardline dehumanization of "others" has a long history in that country. It was the kibbutzniks who would shoot at villagers to provoke retaliation, thus intervention by the Tsahal, and who would habitually torture captured returnees ("mistanenim") to death.
