And today he has been proven right as nations begin to demand Israel pay for their crimes in Palestine: https://www.thejournal.ie/ireland-israel-compensation-school-palestine-destroyed-7022442-Apr2026/
the problem was that the journalist can't tell the difference between I/P and R/U
might make him a shit journalist
If he couldn't tell the difference, he'd have said that Netanyahu tried to take Kyiv or that Zelensky leads the APF. That would be a terrible mistake to make.
He can tell the difference though. When making an analogy, you can ignore some of the differences to make a point about the similarities. And if there are relevant differences, the question he posed will draw those out. It's a good question.
I'm not a journalist nor anywhere near that field, what's I/P and R/U?
edit: Israel/Palestine and Russia/Ukraine?
What is the difference?
Not OP, but I is supported by lots of countries directly, whereas R by way fewer?
Just musing, because I don't see much of a difference beside the different levels of disgusting support of oppressors/attackers.
If P falls then I get to the sea. If U falls then R get to P,S,H,R&M
Another factor may be that U is much stronger than P.
The difference is that parent comment thinks one is okay and one isn't. To the rest of us it's pretty clear there's no difference.
