One of the biggest Ukrainian attacks was a railway tunnel going to China.
Destroying civilian infrastructure to damage the economy is a big no-no people here on Lemmy told me. Oh wait that was when it was helping israel.
One thing I have seen that people like to whine, but when you present a solution, it’s controversial at best, there is still some sort of prejudice in everyones heart about palestine
It still amazes me that right after everyone got a masterclass on "people who are being colonized have the right to defend themselves" in Ukraine, they turn around and put an israeli flag in their profile picture.
Even this meme pointing out the severe hypocrisy is only met with denial.
Uh, I don’t think that is common sentiment here, I see this not as that houthis should have a free pass because Ukraine did it, but rather both Ukraine and Houthis should be criticized equally for this kind of stuff
Majority here is still pro-Palestine though, even tho zionazis are increasing day by day, but like I said there is probably still some sort of prejudice even if it’s small
Personally I swing the complete opposite way.
Ukrainians are based for blowing up Russian railways.
And the Houthis are based for blocking shipping.
I also believe that small talk is not gonna stop Russia or Israel, but the problem is in olden times you could declare a war, pickup swords and go to the battlefield, which meant that there was very little collateral damage and people who didn’t get involved did not really have to worry about their lives, today though everyone has missiles and nuclear weapons, which means people sitting 1000miles away who have nothing to do with this will also suffer
Yes but that's why damaging their economy is so great. If you do it right it often costs far less lives than doing combat.
The Houthis have massively impacted the war and they haven't killed a person so far!
The Chinese will be fine.
Can't I say fuck the Russian and Israeli government in the same breath?
Of course. That is the most based stance.
My problem is that here on Lemmy there's still a huge group of Lemmings actively attacking the Yemeni blockade on shipping. Which Yemen imposed to stop israel's Genocide.
Apparently only Ukrainins are allowed to defend themselves against colonization, but Palestinians aren't because they're not white.
