Ukraine isn't the one who wagered for war. Biden is saying this is the price of instigating the fight, ignoring the very complicated and nuanced history. I don't agree with him at all but he'ssaying Palestinians punched first and that's what they get, which yeah doesn't apply to Ukraine at all.
Palestine wasn't the one who wagered for war. It was Hamas. Unless Hamas is now Palestine, and nobody told me?
So...Yea. Awkward.
Do I look like Biden lol, go argue with him. He's the one who says Hamas and Palestine are the same. I also am not aware if he told you or not.
I'm not arguing my dude. It's called responding ;)
I see what I see from his comments, which is ; Innocent Muslim/brown people being killed is the price of war meanwhile innocent Ukrainian/white people being killed is a tragedy and international war crime that must be answered for.
I really don't expect anything else from a US president on this issue. This is coming from a white westerner, as well. I just hate the hypocrisy of it all.
Youre still mixing apples and oranges. Ukraine is a war everybody can understand at a glance and get behind. Biden aside, the history behind what is going on is very complicated, and people have different opinions. Bidens opinion shouldn't shock you, he's saying what US generals want him to say.
It doesn't mean it's hypocritical to support Ukraine. They are very very different conflicts despite both of them being unfair and unbalanced.
Hamas is the government of Gaza, so yes.
People keep saying that but how true is it, really? They seem only slightly more like a legitimate government than the Taliban.
They were originally elected democratically, so they definitely have some support and legitimacy.
And, much like the Taliban, they are definitely the ones in charge, legitimate or not.
Fine, let's say they're about as legitimate as Putin then. Would that make it justified for Ukraine to commit war crimes against Russian civilians?
Didn't say it was.
