    This is about Ukraine invading Kursk, not the one where Russia invaded Ukraine. I picked this one specifically because Ukraine is also a US client state that is somehow treated differently when it comes to how it’s reported on and what they’re allowed to do with military aid.

      and what they’re allowed to do with military aid.

      to be clear, israel receives US military aid as well.

      That’s probably why palestine isn’t as much of a concern. They’re just two different conflicts here. We’ve been a pseudo ally with ukraine since the dissolution of the USSR, and so has europe more broadly, we all have stuff to lose there.

      The same is also probably true for israel, though to different extents, and likely very different reasons. I couldn’t tell you much about it though.

      if you look at it from this perspective, it’s perfectly and wholly consistent.
