    The 87% is from the US latest estimate of 315,000 casualties. This lines up fairly well with Ukrainian reports, as well as UK, and AUS reports. Fortunately burn pits are hard to hide from satellite imagery.

        Unfortunately my access to these images is limited due to the sensitive nature of the military optics involved, however in the future, the ICC will judiciate these war crimes, and the evidence will likely see public eyes.

          So what you’re saying is that some people claim there are photos? Then the evidence isn’t photos but testimony until those photos are produced

            Yessir, the evidence should see public eyes in due time.

                Even without those images, the documented attrocities by both Hamas and the IDF are abhorrent. Needless loss of life is terrible and should be condemned. I’m glad I live in a country that openly condemns the violence facing civilians in the region.

                  Your country has consistently threatened mine with sanctions and even military actions the second Nelson Mandela became sworn in as president, all the way to the present.

                  Also, “attrocities”

                    You do understand Nelson Mandela supported the sanctions?

                    "In 1993, on the eve of black majority rule in South Africa, Time magazine asked Nelson Mandela if economic sanctions helped speed the demise of the country’s apartheid system.

                    “Oh, there is no doubt,” Mandela said.

                    Throughout his 27 years in prison – and until he became president of South Africa – Mandela unequivocally supported sanctions as a weapon of global justice." - https://historynewsnetwork.org/article/154235

                    This is a pretty large tangent from my original comment, so I’m going to have to reel back the line a bit. Please let’s get back the situation in Ukraine if you’d like to further discuss.

                  You are such a fed, Jesus. My point is that Israel makes up evidence and the US regularly supports its inventions. See Joe pretending those baby pictures exist.

                    Joe did not confirm these photos exist, he did acknowledge that it had been relayed to him they exist. He stands firm on trust, but verify, which is an important aspect of honing policy decisions.

            To be fair, the ICC doesn’t act preemptively, it adjudicates matters of the past. South Africa as every right to promote an investigation, as every war/conflict should be investigated thoroughly.

        This really depends on the war/conflict being discussed, but generally speaking the US’s global policy is to support democracy and the humane treatment of humans. Respecting this general stance, it’s easy to back Ukraine in a defensive manor, protecting the sovereign control from foreign Russian aggression.

            As in a 1 or a 0? Generally speaking quantum dynamics dictates a gray area is more in line with today’s reasoning.

          Fuck, I remember you now, you’re that fucker who made it like two comments into defending that ridiculous thesis a few months ago before turning around and crying to some other instance that I said something that I plainly didn’t. I don’t remember exactly what it was. I think I discussed the DPRK, but there was something else to it too.

              This is such a pathetic line from someone who cannot contradict the assumption that the US are the good guys. The only time I ever saw you change your position was when you went from going “yeah, some of those other times were bad, but they are good now!” to “the Vietnam War was in defense of democracy”.

              Absolute fucking clown. I hope you’re a fed because it means they are wasting some of their subversion budget paying incompetents like you.

                    I’m an atheist, there is no God. That being said, being kind and listening is important to public discourse and should be encouraged full stop.
