    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.

      Wait so in your concept of this war, you see the US as a disinterested neutral observer?

        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.

                No need to be hostile, please refrain from the use of language, it doesn't promote thoughtful debate.

          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.

            I won't continue a discussion with someone using that type of language. Please refrain from language that does not promote thoughtful discourse.

              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.

                Once again, your use of language is a disgrace to meaningful debate. Please learn some civility in dealing with these matters, it'll pay out dividends down the road.

                  Your fetishism of PG speech to defend the bloodiest empire in history is a disgrace to humanity and common decency. I'll take my chances falling afoul of the tenets of your Debate God.

                    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.

      Link me something about these satellite images that show “burn pits”

        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

                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.

                  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.

                  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"
