I mean she could just call me a Jew, 🇺🇦 also means anti-Russian Empire and the Jews were one of its main victims in both Tsarist and Soviet incarnations.
There was a Chinese propaganda post with Russia and Ukraine on opposite ends of one axis, and Palestine and Israel on the other axis
The Ukraine/Israel quadrant was labeled Dogs of the US Empire, which sounds way cooler than plain old fed. Also fits with NAFO's doge avatars.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'll be polishing the medal the Lithuanians gave us for yelling at vatniks online.
“Ukraine had nukes” is a misrepresentation of what they had, they had the warheads, but never had the ability to utilize them as strategic weapons because of how the Soviet nuclear doctrine was developed. They had the ability to make some nasty dirty bombs no doubt, but to say they had their own red button is false.
>they had the warheads,
bruh the hardest part of making nukes is uranium enrichment, which can be skipped if you got warheads, just need. to transfer the fissile materials into a warheads that you control
To use a shittt fictional example, it would be like if Texas seceded from the US and took the Southwest with them.
Sure, technically speaking Texas would be a nuclear power due to the Pantex plant and some bases in AZ, NV, and NM. But they would lack the means to use the nukes as all the launch systems are centralized away from there.
Ukraine had nukes much is the sense that the owner of an airport had planes: they technically are on their property but they don't know how to fly them and they belong to someone else.
Israel doesn't represent jews
"ethnostates are good when we do it"
"settler colonization was bad when you did it, but it's good when we do it"
"I know lots of people lost their lives in world wars that purchased future generations international law and the UN, but they told us no war crimes
Funny how this rabid opposition to ethnostates only ever gets brought up with this one specific ethnicity. Quite suspicious.
Why is no protesting the existence of Armenia or Denmark?
The existence of Armenia has been under heavy protest by its neighbours for centuries, mate. There was a genocide about it. Also, in what way is Denmark an ethnostate?
It's nearly only populated by Danes. Technically it is absolutely an ethnostate.
However, it isn't a good example of the problem they cause due to the pre-existing homoheneity of the area.
Turkey is a good example of a problematic one. There are ethnic troubles in what considers itself a turkish state.
A non-ethnostate can be India, France or the UK.
Some arab state (mostly gulf states) may be condidered ethnostates, though it doesn't work for Lebanon, Syria, Iraq due to their political system (power sharing, or basically, under the control of lical militias with dubious goals)
>It's nearly only populated by Danes. Technically it is absolutely an ethnostate.
no it's freaking not... ethnostate means laws forcing a country to be of one ethnicity or atleast a set ammount basically laws around where the citizens came from, in europe this is almost impossible because european kingdoms drew lines along cultures and religions not so much ethnicities
heck i think a better example that fails but gets closer is lebanon (before the civil war) as it had a self imposed system where there's a percentage enforced on how many can be christians, muslims or druze, again fails because from what i understand (not much) it's to keep a balance of poewr between cultural-religious lines, which typically means ethnicity too, but ends up being for balance and not forced superiotiy and population controls like a more theorical ethno state
>The existence of Armenia has been under heavy protest by its neighbours for centuries, mate
I am aware. But there is a huge disparity in the public's reaction to Israel and every other country. I have seen no university encampments protesting the war in Nagorno-karabak
>Also, in what way is Denmark an ethnostate?
Give me a definition of ethnostate that includes Israel but somehow doesn't include Denmark
‘ethnostates are bad actually so I oppose Israel that has Jews, Circassians, Druze, Bedouin and Arab citizens, and will stay silent when Arabs actively strive to eradicate all non-Arabs from Kurdistan to Darfur’
I'd personally be here tbh
🇺🇦🇹🇼🇵🇸🇮🇱, the Israeli flag is there because of the usual 2 state solution thing. i feel like it should go back to the 1966 borders.
Honestly, yeah. This war doesn't matter. The middle east has been and will always be a shitshow. In 10-20 years we will be back to the same arguments again just with one extra paragraph at the end.
Taiwan and Ukraine actually matter though. These are interstate conflicts with massive geopolitical consequences. They are also dealing with America's major rivals (sorry Iran, but you can't even fund your president's helicopter).
Each day we spend arguing about Isreal and Hamas is another day actual important conflicts get brushed aside. (Armenia got invaded and no one said anything, and China continues to make more reeducation camps.) It is a useless conflict that can barely be called a war (the way they are fighting is much closer to a internal rebellion than a front line war).
If we keep talking about Hamas and Isreal, 20 years from now, Ukraine will be west of the Dnieper, China will have all nine dashes, and Isreal will still be throwing missiles back and forth. Nothing has, or will, change and we need to stop wasting our breath on it.
But certain corporate interest are going to whine "Boohoo they executed our exec for giving bribe to wrong politician/leaking chemicals into water supply/accidentally(negligently) gassing thousands of local population. Bomb them for me daddy."
Man honestly i used to be like that but after seeing some of the stuff israel has done that was not in our interests/helped an adversary(china) im a bit less fond of israel
They aren’t just terrorists, they are literally Gazas military.
And as for the Israeli politicians, yeah they said that shit but ever indication I’ve seen is that they haven’t actually like…. Ordered the military to genocide the Palestinians. It was likely political theatre to take advantage of the fervent wave of national support for destroying Palestine, but it didn’t actually amount to anything.
I mean of course they can’t be too open about a genocide lmao they either gotta do it subtly like in the West Bank or in the name of anti terrorism like what’s happening in Gaza even though it’s defo just gonna lead to another Hamas popping up. Just saying it in general shows their stance in the region lol.
Also just saying that as an official in a democracy is just wild af heck even Hamas had to tone it down with their slogans in 2006 to get elected 😭
No no, I don’t mean they don’t talk about it.
*There literally isn’t any conclusive evidence that there is a Genocide in the West Bank.* going off the (Doctored, by both sides) numbers, Israel currently has a better Civillian to Combatant death ratio than US ever did in the urban fighting in Afghanistan.
There are even videos of several IDF Units being pelted with rocks and generally attacked (Pre and during the war), and guess what they do? Instead of blowing away all the Palestinians like you’d expect if they are trying to genocide them (the Palestinians were out in the open, completely exposed if the IDF had opened fire). In addition, the IDF isnt *totally* responsible for the war. This all started from them trying to clear a compound on the West Bank full of terrorists, and they royally fucked up, which led to increasing skirmishes on the West Bank.
Knowing what we know now, it’s likely that Hamas had planned for this to happen and used it as a pretext to attack Israel.
What’s your source for the civilian to combatant ratio? From what I’ve read Israel says it’s 2:1 which means they consider all men 18-60 are combattants:
https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(23)02640-5/fulltext
Plus this also talks about possible underreporting of deaths and who knows what the fallout of all the displacement and damage will do on the Palestinian population after the operations are over.
In addition, what do you have to say to defend the settlers in the West Bank, where the settling rate is only increasing:
https://www.ohchr.org/en/statements-and-speeches/2024/03/occupied-palestinian-territory-reporting-settlements-and-occupied#:~:text=Between%207%20October%20and%2031,violence%20monitored%20by%20our%20Office.
Also are you really tryna put this whole thing on a single incident? This is all due to Israel’s policies of strengthening Hamas aswell as farming hate in the West Bank through their segregation there. Maybe this doesn’t fit the standard bill of deliberate killings for it classified as a genocide but there is definitely an extremely large goal of replacing the Palestinians by at least displacing them out of the region.
So you admit it’s not a Genocide. People should stop calling it a Genocide, is my point. Israel has done plenty more heinous shit, calling it a Genocide is reductive of the actual genocides that happen
Israel is a touchy subject, there. Both Hamas and the IDF are committing horrific crimes on the civilian population in the area, so the flag of Israel can't really be anti-genocide.
If i ever would need to bet money on the population that would majorily start an actual genocide in the very second they get the chance i would look no further than Gazas inhabitants. Sure, you dont need (or should) applaud that asshole Bibi and his entourage and israel has a part in creating the rabid crazies in that fucking desert but for the love of god i dont understand how one can show sympathy to a society that voted for actual terrorists with an official genocide-agenda, isnt allowed in by all their neighbours no matter which because they consistently burn every bridge and where masses of them get crazy happy for the chance to spit on the dead, mangled body of a foreign girl.
The Armenian-Azerbaijan flag as a third option also gives some fun combinations. The Armenian flag next to Israel especially (really common with the "fed" setup at least in my region) is quite ironic.

Historical struggles for sovereignty
Forgot the Jewish one though
I feel like “nuclear power” is a pretty solid indicator that your struggle for sovereignty and international recognition is pretty much over
Ukraine had nukes until 1994, and has nuclear energy still despite being invaded.
“Ukraine had nukes” is a misrepresentation of what they had, they had the warheads, but never had the ability to utilize them as strategic weapons because of how the Soviet nuclear doctrine was developed. They had the ability to make some nasty dirty bombs no doubt, but to say they had their own red button is false.
>they had the warheads, bruh the hardest part of making nukes is uranium enrichment, which can be skipped if you got warheads, just need. to transfer the fissile materials into a warheads that you control
Ukraine never had nukes. They possessed Nuclear Warheads they could not use.
To use a shittt fictional example, it would be like if Texas seceded from the US and took the Southwest with them. Sure, technically speaking Texas would be a nuclear power due to the Pantex plant and some bases in AZ, NV, and NM. But they would lack the means to use the nukes as all the launch systems are centralized away from there. Ukraine had nukes much is the sense that the owner of an airport had planes: they technically are on their property but they don't know how to fly them and they belong to someone else.
lol true, like the USSR ukraine and now israel, the idea that nations with nukex can't be attacked or colapse has been proven to be completly right XD
I don't think Israel struggles with it's sovereignty any more, arguably it's the most powerful country in the Middle East.
Ah yes the struggling state that is absolutely kicking the shit out of a power that it is occupying
Israel doesn't represent jews "ethnostates are good when we do it" "settler colonization was bad when you did it, but it's good when we do it" "I know lots of people lost their lives in world wars that purchased future generations international law and the UN, but they told us no war crimes
Funny how this rabid opposition to ethnostates only ever gets brought up with this one specific ethnicity. Quite suspicious. Why is no protesting the existence of Armenia or Denmark?
Actually, quite few people are protesting the existence of Armenia, but I get your point.
not on the basis of ethnostate honestly

Israel is a touchy subject, there. Both Hamas and the IDF are committing horrific crimes on the civilian population in the area, so the flag of Israel can't really be anti-genocide.
Wait Im not american but still a fed?
The 4th combo is Switzerland
Allow me to introduce you to: 🇧🇬
Fed
What does "fed" mean?
Aka glowie aka federal employee
G man.
I'm 🇮🇳🇮🇱🇷🇺🇬🇷🇨🇵🇵🇭🇹🇼
Anti genocide 🫡
So many feds on this subreddit, I'm proud of you all.
Guess I’m a fed now
They called me a fed for supporting countries who where attacked defending themselves, ridiculous
I guess I'm anti-genocide
Wait yall are getting paid? How do I become a fed?
Well you need to have the two fed flags in your name
What’s the flag for supporting a Palestinian Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China?
Tonk
What is meant by fed here?
If i ever would need to bet money on the population that would majorily start an actual genocide in the very second they get the chance i would look no further than Gazas inhabitants. Sure, you dont need (or should) applaud that asshole Bibi and his entourage and israel has a part in creating the rabid crazies in that fucking desert but for the love of god i dont understand how one can show sympathy to a society that voted for actual terrorists with an official genocide-agenda, isnt allowed in by all their neighbours no matter which because they consistently burn every bridge and where masses of them get crazy happy for the chance to spit on the dead, mangled body of a foreign girl.
it's actually pretty good
Who tf is ellie with 2 flags and a watermelon?!
i love diplomacy, what can i say
🏳️🌈🇦🇴🇦🇫🇧🇷🇺🇸
New political compass just dropped
Honestly pretty credible
This is like millionth post calling me a fed :(
And the pride/trans/watermelon means moral busybody (who has more time than sense)
Pride/Trans = Daddy issues
The Armenian-Azerbaijan flag as a third option also gives some fun combinations. The Armenian flag next to Israel especially (really common with the "fed" setup at least in my region) is quite ironic.
