The USA used the existence of any n-th degree of separation from any al Qaeda member to lay anyone down for about 2-3 years after 9/11.no, it means that you adopt the same basic principles that every other modern country would consider when it comes to at least verifying the wherabouts of those hostages before unleashing an entire war's worth of ordinance on an area that could fit inside Florida with space to spare. this cut and paste "but hamas" shyt is only good for reddit threads and echo chambers - it doesn't hold up anywhere. this is clear fukking logic lol
why would you saturate an area that contains your people? you have to go through gymnastics immediately to say its a good idea or a reasonable one
Its been months. They couldn't even contain reports on their forces killing their hostages because they failed to properly ID the bodies in triage like any professional force would've.
Give it up, or get laid down. Thats how it works in the real world.
Again, I dont think yall paid attention to what Israel did after Munich
Because Russia is fighting a first world opponent backed by the USA. They have to maintain even professional military standards.ukraine and russia were doing prisoner swaps over uncontrolled railways before control over areas was even clear, america isn't above straight up paying the bill for hostages, ghana will openly leverage international support to retrieve people, etc. israel legit does not care. like.... its pretty objective fact at this point
Contrast that with Russias actions in Africa or Syria. Then come back and tell me it’s the same. Or even Soviet Afghanistan.
Even Russians know when they want to get fast and loose with this shyt.
This is why this comparison fails.
