This might be a little tougher than Putin thought...

I always think about how the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on civilians. Not quite as bad as what Russia is doing to Ukraine though...
All WW2 combatants knowingly dropped bombs on civilians.
If the GOP Congress forbade instruction in Spanish by any school in the country, would it be perceived as patriotic, or racist?
You really think people wouldn’t assert that such a law was tantamount to ethnic cleansing and cultural genocide?
I do, as evidence I present the post I quoted.
The obvious aim of such a law is the suppression and eradication of the targeted culture, right? That’s what Putin intends with his Russian language law, and what the Ukrainian language law intends as well.
I don't either, but I've seen enough clips from their shows here on HR/Twitter, as you have as well, to know they are parroting Russian propaganda. To simply say, 'I don't watch it' is a cop out.
I think Russia’s got this locked up. Ukrainians seem to be giving up.
Joe, I don’t need to watch Sean Hannity so that I am able to “regurgitate” anything.
I also have heard of the Telephone Game. Such an outdated term. But you probably still have a rotary phone with a party line. In fact, party line is your specialty. Now go away.
The Russians can continue the bombing/missile strikes from outside Russia....most are coming from there now.
I agree the Ukrainian's have to keep up the pressure.
Do you know they had a little war in mainland China or nah?
Might be worth a quick google.
They have plenty of dumb munitions...already running short of smart munitions apparently.
Of course-China being the main example. PS to add the Phillipines.
Only the ones they didn’t rape in Nanking.
JFC what a stupid take.
Not a good idea?
It's the international Red Cross's job....they dealt with the Germans and Japanese in WW2. What they're saying will fall on def ears but good lord this is a hot take.
I don't think Putin will hesitate to use them. He simply doesn't care how many lives are lost, whether that be Ukrainians or Russians.
I was more comparing the US vs Japan to Russia vs Ukraine. My bad.Do you know they had a little war in mainland China or nah?
Might be worth a quick google.
Yes. Manilla, Chinese cities...many more.

As has been stated earlier in this thread, the fire bombings were more destructive. Japan was built out of wood back then.

And as bad as it was, they were still legitimate military targets since so much Japanese manufacturing was in residential areas. Sometimes shops were in peoples backyards.
War sucks.
Again. Sorry to confuse you all. The United States vs Japan. How many American civilians did Japan kill? How many Japanese civilians did the United States kill.Yes. Manilla, Chinese cities...many more.

That should clear it up.
They’re being used by the Russians for propaganda. Meeting with Lavrov and doing a photo op is not the same thing as going into POW camps in WW2.
Good god, haven't the Ukrainian people suffered enough?Tune in March 29, Ed Sheeran and Ukrainian band Antytila to livestream a concert to the free world.

No, it doesn't actually. If they were within striking distance of the US west coast we'd have seen horrible civilian casualties. They just didn't have the opportunity.
What a strange take.
Ummm...they have to make the attempt at ensuring POW's get treated properly. Hospitals etc not attacked...
Losing effort but that's why they exist in these situations. Like I said...they dealt with the Germans and Japanese because of the same matter.
Only because the Japanese didn't have the capability to inflict civilian casualties on the US. Just didn't have the military capability...
Their actions v China and in their South East Asia conquests point to that....
Japan had attacked us and committed numerous atrocities wherever they were.
By the time we could bomb Japan the US was hardened to feeling any sympathy for anyone there.
Ukraine did not attack anyone, and is being bombed to oblivion for simply existing. That is how I see it.
They need to weigh whether the interaction will do more harm than good. It’s a propaganda state now like North Korea. Giving them a photo op and a meeting is good for the Russian war effort. They’ll show it to their people and say the Red Cross is supporting all the good work they’re doing.
And what will the Red Cross get in return.
Actually, you made a bad comparison and that's the reason for the confusion moreso than your lack of articulation. That should clear it up.
They are different situations. But the United States stating Putin is committing atrocities against civilians is rich.

Like I said...stupid take. It's what they were created to do...
See Operation Cherry Blossoms at Night or their balloon warfare.
Maybe Im trying to make you think.
