      Sometimes, especially after a long day, a few beers, and a joint, I start to think about all the people dying in Ukrainian and Palestine. I spent a year in Iraq so it’s not hard to imagine what the physical sensation of being in one of those foxholes are hiding in one of the blown outbuildings(I can quite honestly even smell the dust and mold in the hair. Kind of taste it. I spent a lot of time in J-dam’ed buildings)but what I can’t fucking imagine is the feeling of hopelessness the Palestinians must feel. Or any realistic Ukrainian. My point is, there is absolutely no one for those 9 people’s family to turn to and that’s horrifying

      I’m sure they don’t and they have that right. But that being said “indiscriminate” sort of has a meaning and connotation.

      And it’s not that these bombings absolutely couldn’t have been indiscriminate, however they either have to be the most incompetent military force on the planet to bomb a town of 4,000 people and kill 9 or truly God’s chosen army to indiscriminately bombing a place and kill 10x military casualties for every civilian one.
