You do realize that I have no pity for you, right?

That’s a clamorous straw man, I didn’t claim anywhere the Law of Proportionality doesn’t allow states to kill innocent civilians, indeed you can not q...

So what? What is a legitimate sovereign state in interstate relations, it’s established by sovereign states, obviously. Sure, the state of Israel is/w...

Not begging the question at all, since the legitimacy of a state either is established by IHL laws (and I doubt that is even possible because the IHL ...

Yours are just self-serving arguments which beg the question and add nothing to strengthen your argument. Indeed, you didn’t bring any independent IHL...

Sure, I need IHL experts to tell me what IHL experts think about "human shields" and IHL laws, if that's what I'm interested in. And I'm interested in...

Beware that both Pakistan and Iran are attacking each others' sides of Belochistan. A chaos land where anti-regime terrorists and drug/arm smugglers o...

But I questioned your basic reading comprehension of the letter of the law too. And the fact that you didn't realize it, it is pretty telling about yo...

Listen… ehm… brilliant Cybersecurity Compliance (as in compliance with the law) graduate, US Navy Intelligence Community genius, past time law superhe...

Russia wasn’t invaded by NATO nor an EU country either. And Ukraine is not part of the Russian Federation either. So what? Ukraine also owns commoditi...

If you want to insult me, it would be more fair to notify me first, so I can readily insult you back. Where are your manners, asshole?! You are confla...

We all are tempted to say Germany wake up, aren't we? https://europeanconservative.com/articles/news/germany-has-5-8-years-to-get-military-into-shape-...

. This line you quote does not refer to the condition of being ILLEGAL settler (which BTW is not the case of the massacre of October the 7th), but to ...

Well if you wanna put it in these terms, then I’ll repeat my point once again: “NOWHERE Michael Schmidt made the claim that Israel has used its citize...

These dudes. Really. Here some points: 1 - If the formation of a military block bordering with Russia on its eastern front was perceived by Russia as ...

It doesn't sound implausible to me either. BTW the divide & conquer strategy applied in Europe might make sense to Russia more than to the US due to t...

I don’t know if that’s “the reason”, there might be other plausible reasons weihing in the American strategic calculus: 1 - Avoid to get too much invo...

Dude, focus, I already made my point that question such argument of yours: 1. On the 7th October Hamas didn’t target points or areas as legitimate mil...

Do you have anything compelling to support such a claim? feeling compelled by claims made without a good argument or evidence to support them.

"legitimate military target" is the target of a direct strike. On the 7th October Hamas didn't attack civilian infrastructures with military value (li...

If the “proportionality” requirement is so loose, why do you think Israel (and all countries accused of committing war crimes for that matter) would b...

If you are talking to me, I never made any such claim, nor presupposed it, nor implied it, nor meant to suggest it. Not sure to understand what you ar...

A very welcomed articulated post (BTW kudos for the mod title!). A few comments: - Proportionality “needs quantifying” to offer actual military and le...

Yes also breathing air as we are not breathless machines, I guess.

Right, why do we even have an ICC if we have bert1 to teach us what counts as evidence in the violation of the Geneva convention?

Thanks for the quote and the link, Holy Benkei. I can understand that proportionality is matter of interpretation. The problem is still who is interpr...

Yep you really gave me a lesson, Holy Benkei. I tried so hard to hide my immense ignorance. But you, in your immense wisdom, showed to the world how i...

Even if I read those conventions, you may question my understanding of them. So, in your immense wisdom, point me where exactly the Geneva and the Hag...

"Public conscience" of which country? Should there be a referendum to establish it? Or a phone survey is enough? How large is the sample? Maybe in you...

And the rules are? Give me two of them as precisely as you can. And the reasonable proportionality formula is? In your immense wisdom, do you have an ...

MR. KIRBY: Yes, we — we have issued the last drawdown package that — that we had funding to support. And that’s why it’s — it’s critical that — that C...

BTW here some quotes from a year ago about security guarantees:

Dude, what you actually claimed is the following: " To such rhetoric manipulation of yours and your sidekicks I commented: So Chalyi's article confirm...

I have no idea why you are so excited about it. "Multipolar world" means that the world is gonna be more peaceful, more equitable, more democratic?

Exactly the opposite is true. China and Russia economies could grow the way they did after the cold war thanks to the American-led globalization. This...

Let's assume you are right whatever point you are trying to make, still “it would be more interesting if you told us where the Russian propaganda abou...

Meaning? What will happen then? The problem is that he didn’t make any arguments that you/Tzeench/Isaac wouldn’t make yourselves. So one may wonder wh...

Again, you didn’t say anything that I didn’t already hear a thousand times in this thread and outside of it. That’s why I indirectly asked you: “it wo...

It's been a long thread. You didn't say anything we didn't hear already a thousand times. Being you pro-Russian, it would be more interesting if you t...

What will be the goal (in Ukraine) if Trump wins the elections? Can you predict that too?

Unfair enough.

It would factor in my moral reasoning. Not sure that would be enough to reach my conclusion though, I’ll come back to this later. People as a means to...
