Yeaaah. 🥲🥲

Fair honestly. I just can't help but think that having an excuse would make it worse 😅

Not sure why people are downvoting me for not wanting a proxy war, that seems like a pretty reasonable way to feel as best I can see...

It is objectively the right thing to do and very important, and at the same time, as an American I desperately do not want a proxy war. Donald trump would love to have an excuse to give even more ludicrous amounts of taxpayers dollars to military contractors at a time when no one can afford shit and cost of living is spiking

I really do not want a proxy war 🥹

Good.

Man I really hope this doesn't turn into a proxy war.

Interesting, thank you for the additional info!

It feels like part of the reason for this might be that legal punishment would be, in terms of the optics, damning.

Even authoritarians need social buy in, and when it would be too unambiguous that the exclalated purely in pursuit of violence and oppression, they loose social support they need.

I don't know much about the situation in Hungary but I wonder if that plays a role in things.

Puffy pope. Lol.

Man I'm glad to hear that, cause the US isn't exactly a dependable ally right now 😅 (sorry, I wish we were 🥲)

Man, I hope so. There are so many cool historical events that need movie adaptations

Man, Ukraine has really been on some action movie shit lately, ya love to see it.

I'm not really convinced many IDF soldiers are facing significant risk of losing their life, at least in combat- my impression has been that they and Hamas aren't exactly evenly matched in terms of resources 😅

I could absolutely be wrong, I'm not terribly well informed on the conflict and what combat casualties each side has suffered

Massive respect to iraeli soldiers willing to defy their country. For many (certainly not all) criticising the war and senseless loss of life is an easy thing to just throw out on social media. It's another thing entirely when it's your whole country around you, and you're a member of the military. There's a reason we see people comit atrocities while "just following orders"- it's by far the easier path when you're handed down horrific orders.

I cannot imagine the consequences they might face for this kind of insubordination but it deserves recognition. The killing serves no meaningful purpose.

Yeah, as someone with a circadian rythm disorder DST time changes kinda destroy me. Every single year, twice a year.

I'm hoping the US manages to get rid of it, we had a bill to do just that get unexpectedly far, before stalling out I think :/

Sending love from the US, y'all take care :)

I really like the far right purple one! This is a really neat post ☺️
