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.

    If you have to choose between Hitler and Stalin consider voting for a third party or not voting.

    Voting for any person means you approve of their actions and you are complicit and responsible for them.

      I don’t think it means that necessarily. It’s just as valid to vote strategically against an even worse party if they have a chance of winning. It’s not morally contentious to vote for the lesser of two evils.

        If you keep voting for the lesser of two evils there will never an incentive for a good one to show up because you won’t vote for them anyways.

        You’re too busy voting for Genocide Joe.

          Well I Iive in Canada but point taken. I’m still not sure I agree that it’s on the voter to let the worse party win just to support a burgeoning better one. I’d say the responsibility is on that better party to secure their base and show a reasonable chance to win before asking voters to risk the worse party winning.

            I can agree that concessions need to be made but any party that supports literal should never ever receive a vote.

            In that case it’s time to pull out the classic

            The moral option is then a third party that doesn’t support genocide to show that any party supporting it will never win your vote.
