    If you’ve been called before a Genocide hearing, you don’t have a moral army. Full stop.

      Referring to any group of people who’s job it is to kill other groups of people as “moral” seems like a bit of an oxymoron to me. I get that the scale can tip really fucking far to the evil side but how close to the good side is it even possible to get?

        Given the soldiers that killed unarmed hostages against the order of their field commander they’re not even doing that.

    Would love to see this used in future headlines. “Most moral army in the world kills civilians hiding in a church” or “Most moral army in the world bombs refugee camp” or maybe most poignantly, “Most moral army in the world convicted of genocide”

    “Most moral army in the world?”

    That doesn’t even make sense. Just going full trumpian, not only am I not guilty of what you accuse me off, I am the most opposite of that in the entire world. It’s about as believable for them as it is when Trump says it. What on earth is their strategy here? I mean rhetorical question I guess, strategy is just spewing BS it seems.

    Most moral army before and during the war for real. If morals were child murder.

    Only moral armies in the world are in Cuba, Loas, Vietnam, and China because these are the only armies that serve the people as opposed to serving an oligarchy.

    lol are you kidding me?

    Don’t get me wrong, I support their war (minus the fucking genocide, fucking hell) against Hamas.

    But come the fuck on, you’re literally bombing kids. Cut that shit out, go to The Hague, get fucking hanged for it. In the mean time, get some people in the tunnels, kill Hamas. Then bomb some military sites in Iran and some Hezbollah shit in Lebanon, then fucking go home.

    Gives them at least 3 months until Hamas 2.0, rinse, repeat, boost domestic military industry.

        No it isn’t

        Mutually assured destruction doesn’t go away because of conventional warfare. Nuclear powers have attacked each other directly and indirectly since the 70s and we haven’t had ww3 yet. The most recent example is US troops killing Russians in Yemen, or the US killing suleimani via drone strike. For previous conflicts, see India vs Pakistan and also China.

        The risk of global war is at an all time low because of globalization. Nobody can afford it anymore due to multinationals. We have escaped the Pax Americana and now we are in the Pax Corporata.

        There’s a military solution to every disagreement.

        They’re seldom good ideas though.

            I agree with that, it’s also not practical even if it was a solution.

            Subjugation, however, has proved historically to be a great solution (even if temporary) to geopolitical disagreements. See: literally every war where the winners got what they wanted. WwIi, us civil war, the entirety of Mongolian history, Chinese history, wars against American Indians, Spanish conquest of South America, Ireland(sorry), etc. doesn’t always work, see Afghanistan, lots of Africa, the Incan empire’s pre-Colombian collapse, same for the Romans (well, after it worked for both), etc. but it CAN work.
