    Intentional or blatantly incompetent, it’s quite clear that Israel is using the same playbook as Putin when he strikes civilians in Ukraine.

      Israel is way worse than Putin: all it takes is looking at the numbers of civilian deaths in merelly the first month of the Israelli attack on Gaza compared to the whole of the Invasion of Ukraine.

      Not excusing Putin by the way, just pointing out how much more extreme Israel is in the Fascist scales.

      You get the impression that Putin has no care at all about human life, but he is not driven by extreme racism, whilst Israel most definitelly is driven by extreme racism and hence they’re activelly trying to exterminate an entire etnic group whom they call “human animals” which is why we keep on seeing from them all varieties of barbarous acts, not just bombings with massive “building” (500lb) and “residential block” (2000lb) wipping bombs and targetting humanitarian vehicles like this but even the use white posphurous against civilians and snipping of childrem.

      Next to them Putin is merely a Fascist whilst Israel are full-on Nazis.

        I must object to one point. Putin is absolutely driven by extreme racism. His right-hand man is Aleksandr Dugin after all. Putin would have no problem committing genocide. The only difference is that Ukrainians are a closer peer-enemy and can actually defend themselves from Russian barbarism. They actually have room to move civilians away from concentrated areas.

          Putin wants Ukranians to become Russians to the point of kidnapping Ukranian kids to give them to Russian families. That’s not at all how the very racist relate to those they see as lesser.

          Meanwhile Israeli soldiers will even snipe little palestinian kids, not just bomb them or starve them to death (which can be done without actually looking at their faces), but framing their faces on the scope of a rifle and shotting them on the head.

          Whilst I agree that Putin is also a racist even when it comes to Ukranians (and way much worse when it comes to non-Slavs) he’s nowhere as close to being as much of a racist as a large part (maybe most) of the Israeli society, especially their leadership and army.

            Yes, that is called ethnic genocide. If he can’t convert them, he will eliminate them. He has no qualms about that.

            At the same time, he is conscripting from ethnic minorities within domestic Russia above any other group first to be used as meat-grinders. Another action exemplifying clear genocidal intent.

            Make no mistake: Putin would have no problem eliminating any Ukrainian who doesn’t bow. See Bucha. See the Mariupol Theater. Talk to a Ukrainian.

          His right-hand man is Aleksandr Dugin

          Bullshit. Dugin is a Western chauvinist fascist who is ideologically aligned with the Ukrainian coup government and the Ukrainian Nazis who terrorized the Donbas for almost a decade before Russia intervened two years ago. In what universe is he Putin’s “right-hand man”?

          The US would absolutely love to have a regime change that put Dugin in power, because he would invite the American shock therapists back in to finish the plundering that they started in the ’90s under Yeltsin, and that Putin put an end to.
