        I wouldn’t confuse people being unable to do anything about it with them not caring. I think both “wars” are absolute tragedies and if I was a superhero I’d zip over there and sort them out. But I’m just a normal guy, what can I do except talk about it?

          The point I’m trying to make is that Russia has been bombing hospitals, schools and dams for over two years now and no one bats an eye, Ukrainians are even caucasian so you can’t pull the brown people matter less card. Genocide is the attempted goal for both Russia and Iran.

              I agree, big typo, I was high when I wrote it. But I’m still sticking by the corrected version.

            this isn’t true. russia has never targeted civilians like Israel does (e.g., every hospital attack, aid truck massacre, this recent school bombing, etc). Ukraine blames their own air defense missiles hitting civilian buildings on Russia. They also hide soldiers in abandoned schools, tanks and APCs in farm silos and semi trucks, etc. I’ve seen at least dozens of photos taken from the Ukranian side where they hide in civilian infrastructure. Do NOT get your info from any US or US-aligned media. It’s literally ALL controlled by the CIA.

            In fact, Ukraine actively creates atrocity propaganda complete with film crews and actors, I’ve also seen behind-the-scenes pictures from TWO events staged by Ukraine.

            The worst actual atrocity I’ve seen from Russia is them bombing a diner where many NATO staff were. For sure there were civilians in there.

      The Cradle is great when is comes to news on Palestine and the Middle East.

      They also use a lot of Arab sources which Western newspapers don’t like to do because they only quote israel.

      Dont ask MBFC about TheCradle though. It’s not israel friendly enough.
