      Outright war has been pretty rare for most western countries at least. Like, when was the last time you had to dodge bombs? I can tell you that my country for example hasn’t been invaded in my lifetime (mostly because we joined NATO in the early 00s). Suddenly being under attack would be pretty extreme circumstances around these parts.

      Also, Palestine hasn’t held elections in 2 decades and are only now finally planning a new general election in 2027. It is quite curious I’ve never heard someone on .ml criticize them for it whereas Ukraine often catches shit for it. Which, sure, Palestine has it much worse, but then 2 decades vs 2.5 years (so far) is also a big difference.

        You don’t think there’s a difference between Palestine, which is an open air prison, and Ukraine, which is receiving the most highly advanced military technology to defend itself with?

        Ill let you ponder on this.
