Israel’s war in Gaza is chipping away at so much of what we – in the United States but also internationally – had agreed upon as acceptable, from the rules governing our freedom of speech to the very laws of armed conflict. It seems no exaggeration to say that the foundation of the international order of the last 77 years is threatened by this change in the obligations governing our legal and political responsibilities to each other.
Is it? I don’t even hear anything out of the Arab states. It should but I don’t see much.
This war is of course a huge tragedy, but as someone who sees gaza war as a local conflict borderline affecting few cities, I can’t help but chuckle how much lemmy ignores the largest country in the world waging war in Europe and only escalating by every month, while western countries can’t seem to keep up in production. It’s Russia who will break the world, not some conflict in middle east.
EDIT: The average lemmy user claiming that russia is incapable of doing anything goes to show that you really should disregard what the average lemmy user says and rather read what experts and researchers say. The downvotes on this comment is a clear proof only few truly know what’s going on right now. I would not even be surprised if the recent US weapon callback is related to this. I’m not exagggareting when I say that Russia is outproducing entire NATO in 2025. The EU just yesterday lifted debt limit to 17 countries purely to allow going into debt to raise defence spending across the EU (something that bankrupted soviets). Russia has changed it’s stance on peace terms, so that goes out the window too. Even they know they can now win this war.

The only way Russia can win is if Trump bails them out. Which is a possibility, but that would just be Trump breaking things.
Please never become someone who makes important decisions in geopolitics
What? No one’s ignoring Ukraine.
Literally most answers here disregard the dangers of Russia and my comment got downvoted into irrelevancy and then you claim that lmao
You were downvoted because no one is ignoring Ukraine.
Saying stuff like “the only way Russia can win is if someone bails them out” is ignoring the hard reality of conflict. There is a reason Russia no longer wants peace.
