    It’s not the quite same thing. Ukraine immediately shouted “Russia is invading us and trying to push through to Kiev!” Both the lebanese caretaker government and Hezbollah are saying that there is no permanent Israeli army presence on Lebanese ground. Israel claims to have sent soldiers into Lebanon, but no one on the Lebanese side is confirming that.

      This is about Ukraine invading Kursk, not the one where Russia invaded Ukraine. I picked this one specifically because Ukraine is also a US client state that is somehow treated differently when it comes to how it’s reported on and what they’re allowed to do with military aid.

        and what they’re allowed to do with military aid.

        to be clear, israel receives US military aid as well.

        That’s probably why palestine isn’t as much of a concern. They’re just two different conflicts here. We’ve been a pseudo ally with ukraine since the dissolution of the USSR, and so has europe more broadly, we all have stuff to lose there.

        The same is also probably true for israel, though to different extents, and likely very different reasons. I couldn’t tell you much about it though.

        if you look at it from this perspective, it’s perfectly and wholly consistent.

            yeah forgive me for not including the entire historical context behind ukraine, eastern europe, russia, the bolsheviks and the soviet union, it’s collapse, the peace deal, and the breaking of the peace deal, and the nukes that were involved somewhere along the way.

            My mistake for not including the entire unabridged history of ukraine in a post about military aid and why this behavior is wholly consistent from a perspective of military support. (that’s not even about ukraine)

        Oh my bad, I misread it. My point that Lebanon says nothing major is going on on the ground still stands though.
