    *hospital buster bombs.

    Funny how the US can put conditions on how Ukraine uses the HIMARS system, but Israel can use their bombs any way they please.

      Palestine doesn’t, in theory, have any ability to escalate against NATO/USA, whereas Russia absolutely does. The NATO master has to keep their Ukrainian dog’s leash short because otherwise the master might get end up getting bitten by the Russians.

        Yeah, exactly. It’s never about human rights or civilian casualties, it’s about limiting blowback. Although in my opinion there will still be blowback in the form of terrorist attacks to the US. But I guess that’s a price they’re willing to pay, as that just gives them excuses for more surveillance laws to be put in place, while in the grand scheme of things terrorist attacks really don’t matter.
