@Mick

Because that means enforcing it and shooting down Russian planes, you ok with that? You ok with the media pushing incessantly for an escalation?

I am in favour of nuking Russia and China. There. I said it.

OK, everyone is entitled to their opinion. We can agree to disagree on that one.

[BiggusDickus]

It would be a quick solution to the global population problem. Possibly the entire population with the aftereffects.

Actually, the guy in this video is gonna be all of us:

Here Comes The Sun in Hiroshima

[BiggusDickus]

I can’t watch the video right now, but my belief is there would be small pockets of people surviving on cannibalism and suchlike.

[Gain]

I didn’t say it was rational or plausible. I am in favour as long as the damage is contained within their borders.

It’s 5 seconds of Beatles’ song Here Comes the Sun for Japanese guy drinking coffee on August 6.
But, yeah, it’ll be the Donner Party all over on a grand scale.

This will be all the Instagrammers and Influencers trying to do selfies with the mushroom clouds.

[BiggusDickus]

Being in favour of something irrational and implausible seems a bit silly.

That can be done with a first strike on China, with Russia a little more tricky due to their delivery systems and subs.

Time to kick Russia out of the UN, Security Council. How can you fucking veto something you are doing yourself?

[The_Ghost]

Unfortunately, I think by law, it needs a unanimous vote.

Stupid, I know. Maybe they scrap them and make a new one, excluding crackpot regimes like Russia, China etc

[Belgian_Pie]

How did they handle the switch from USSR to Russia in the UN security counicil?

You and Vladimir Putin:

Not everything is about race . . .

Some things are though and the selective outrage here on Forumosa about white people being killed is one of them.

I’m not sure I get it. Maybe Forumosa didn’t go about it properly? Used the wrong language or something? Didn’t devote enough words to it?

@cfimages

Wikileaks have released 400 000 documents concerning Iraq. warlogs.wikileaks.org/

Torture, civilian death tolls, executions etc.

Discuss.

@slim9

The American death tally is at 1500… lord knows what the Iraqi one is “coz this time we ain’t counting”. The vast majority of these deaths have occurred subsequent to the American adminstration declaring that major operations are over.

@Funk500

Whatever your views on the Iraq war, the number of civilians deaths sounds pretty high if that news is accurate. Surely, the point is to minimize deaths of those not involved right?

@TheGingerMan

The truth of the matter is that the civilian death toll is probably far higher. They always suffer the most in any conflict, most especially that involving urban areas.

@j.scholl

Obama may have some diplomatic difficulties not looking backwards this time. Spiegel is going all out - even using a picture of a screaming little girl wearing her parents’ blood.

Sticking to English though… Reuters quotes DoD reaction:[quote]“We deplore WikiLeaks for inducing individuals to break the law, leak classified documents and then cavalierly share that secret information with the world,” Geoff Morrell, Pentagon press secretary, said.[/quote]…which tacitly means, “We on the other hand encourage inducing individuals to kill and destroy without conscience, lying about documented horrors of war and then cavalierly sharing false information with the world.”

. . .

And 109,000 KIA (edit 66,000 civilian) = “drop in the bucket”? Not comparing to 2,977 obviously.

@Rascal

Just to give it some perspective:

Surveys pointing to high civilian death toll in Iraq

Preliminary reports suggest casualties well above the Gulf War.

By Peter Ford | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

BAGHDAD - Evidence is mounting to suggest that between 5,000 and 10,000 Iraqi civilians may have died during the recent war, according to researchers involved in independent surveys of the country.

@jwcampbell

Could it also be a question of the scale of death and horror inflicted on other parts of the world…that cause people to hate GW and the United States of Aggression (USA) with a passion?..

@Charlie_Jack

I remember coming home from high school and getting a copy of Life Magazine from the hooks under the mailbox, taking it inside, opening it up, and seeing the pictures of the My Lai massacre, and thinking, well, they’ve got to stop the war now. And they did stop our direct participation in it, about three years after that Life Magazine issue.

The Beatles - John Lennon: "I hope we've passed the audition".

@Gain

So if someone kills you he can say he’s innocent because he knows the version he knows?

That’s a shitty comparison.

@Gain

Russian cities and towns deserve to be bombed like Dresden was.

That’s tempting, not sure how fair or smart though.

[mad_masala]

@Gain

Which is basically all of them.

Holy shit the woke dude and his blank statements…

I like how for some to be progressive is not necessarily related to being understanding and thoughtful.

And nobody who has read me in this thread can label me as pro Russian or anything remotely related.

@Mick

Americans supported the war in Iraq and the war in Afghanistan

Many didn’t. Thanks God.

I say that in the next sentence, I also pointed out the Russians are far less at liberty to protest the Russian governments war in Ukraine.

Leave the unwashed masses out of it, they don’t decide these things and most of them are following what they get told on the news.
