Almost 90 bombs were dropped in one region in just 24 hours.

Russia unleashed an unprecedented bombardment in southern Ukraine overnight in what local officials described as a “massive attack” in the conflict which has continued to rage even as the international community’s attention has moved to the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza.

The Ukrainian Internal Affairs Ministry on Monday morning said Russia dropped at least “87 aerial bombs on populated areas of the Kherson region - the largest number for all time.” At least eight people were also injured in other Russian strikes carried out in the Odessa region further to the west on Sunday night.

    Lots of other countries manage to fight terrorism without violating the Geneva Convention and killing over 10,000 civilians…

    Do you think Israel is just that incompetent they can’t?

    If so, how does it make sense to give a government so incompetent literal billions of dollars a year?

    But regardless of why the fact is the Geneva Convention is being openly violated. Which is a precedent that hurts literally every human on Earth

        Well, that’s your opinion, and I don’t care much for Bidens opinion either.

        Over the decades of his political career, the only times he’s criticized Israels human rights abuses is to tell them it makes it harder for us to give them billions of dollars a year.

        He doesn’t care about murdered Palestinian citizens, he just wants to keep the pipeline going so US defense firms get funneled tax payer money.

        Do you not know anything about his political history before 2008?

          It’s the same reason all American Presidents are “friendly” with Saudia Arabia, also. They have something we want.
