  • U.S. Refuses to Back U.N. Calls for Probe into Mass Graves at Gaza Hospitals

  • This account is countering misinformation in multiple conflicts. You are free to point out mistakes they have made instead of doing your usual MO of accusing anyone who doesn't agree with your favorite narrative as a paid troll.

  • US accuses China of backing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

    Jump

  • The two aren't even remotely the same and you know that.

  • Russia vetoes a UN resolution calling for prevention of a dangerous nuclear arms race in space

    Jump

  • Maybe, maybe not. Their existence and the mutually assured destruction that comes with it might be the primary factor responsible for preventing WW3 during the Cold War. The "balance of terror" is still working to this day.

  • Moscow pressured Nicaragua to file genocide case against Germany, intel sources say

  • Don't rob people in the ME of their own agency. The West has messed up a lot, but so have the locals. Both are at least equally to blame.

  • The point is that Nicaragua would have never done anything like this on their own, because they have barely anything to do with the ME. The West on the other hand does. That's not entitlement, that's just a fact. We have a vested interest in what is going on there. Nicaragua is used as a pawn and it's incredibly transparent that this is happening. Same with South Africa.

  • It really isn't. Nicaragua is a tiny nation that does barely any trade and is of no significant importance to the Middle East diplomatically nor militarily. This does not apply to the West.

  • I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are not just deliberately doing the old "just asking questions" thing and are legitimately having difficulties with understanding relatively simple concepts.

    There is a difference between their internal numbers and their outside communication. It's quite easy to keep an accurate head count during peace time and they did that, for taxing purposes alone - and to maintain the level of control that they wanted as the rulers of an oppressive police state. Just in case you didn't know what kind of place Gaza was before the war.

    However, they actually have no idea right now, because it's war, it's chaotic, with shifting front lines, people being displaced, caught under the rubble, disfigured bodies with no identifying marks, families getting torn apart and not knowing what happened to their loved ones, etc.

    You know, the same chaos as in every other war. You can't keep accurate records under these conditions, especially considering that everything even remotely resembling an official Hamas government office has been bombed to smithereens or overrun by ground troops - but Hamas pretends that they do, with precise casualty figures published incredibly frequently. That's not how this works. Israel needed months for an accurate count of their deaths from just October 7th, despite the fact that the fighting within Israel lasted only for a day or two. Ukraine has huge "unknowns" about their population in occupied areas and where there has been or is fighting.

    Yet Hamas of all people somehow are omniscient record keepers - and barely anyone is willing to question it. We then get a game of telephone of increasingly reputable parties repeating Hamas numbers to one another, until people can naively say that "the BBC" or "the UN" is reporting something, oblivious to the actual source of the information. It's as if nobody learned how to properly trace sources at school or university.

  • Think about this for a second. Hamas has an interest in accurate internal head counts for e.g. tax purposes - they were the de-facto government of the strip, after all. Their public statements cannot be trusted.

  • Head count of the survivors vs. pre-war records.

  • The environmental cost of China's addiction to cement

  • They are not. Everything indicates that they remain uninhabited. Ghost cities are usually built in regions with cheap lease prices for land, which are cheap for a reason: Poor infrastructure, few jobs and opportunities.

  • Nonsense. The US didn't build entire fake cities that are totally empty, because they solely exist as investment scams and are not suitable for people to live in.

  • A flawed democracy is still a democracy - and Germany is widely regarded, despite some corruption, as one of the best-functioning democracies in the world (5th best according to the Democracy Matrix - which is admittedly from a German university - and 12th best according to the Economist's Democracy Index). There are no serious scholars doubting this.

  • Ideally an independent party, like an NGO with no affiliations to Hamas and Israel.

  • Iranian officials report no damage around targeted Isfahan, lift flight restrictions.

  • For starters, they didn't blow up the embassy. Please try again.

  • It's fine to admit that we simply don't know until the war is over. Only then can a true count be possible, without terrorists interfering.

  • They are relying entirely on numbers provided by Hamas. There is no independent third party counting casualties in the strip.
