“In view of these horrific images, I have urgently appealed to the ICRC and the UN to record yet another human rights violation by the terrorist country,” Lubinets wrote.
Didn’t Ukraine congratulate Azerbaijan in autumn 2020 and in subsequent events? Dismembering a PoW seems to be so mundane for Azeri army, that I’d expect Ukrainians to accept the other side’s brutality as men, not cry to the whole world, or something like that they’d say to humiliate Armenians? They can also quickly surrender to stop all this and stop angering Russia, I think I’ve seen that advice from Ukrainians in the web to Armenians as well.
On a serious note, this is, of course, disgusting, but even if you normalize double standards, they are not something that really works. They are unnatural for humans, however strange that would seem. If “approved” militias eating PoWs’ hearts in Syria were fine, if what Azeris were and are doing is fine, then this inevitably trickles down to how any combatants are treated.
a petulant kid that are lashing out because they had their feelings hurt
or it was too long a text for you to grasp?
I’m saying that the usual Ukrainian advice to Armenians is to stop angering Azerbaijan.
Anyway, I think I’m again looking to be offended.
Just … this amount of indignation about one guy chopped up. Nothing close to what a few countries which are not under sanctions openly do. It’s as if they really thought their lives are worth more.
Everything. I meant that most Ukrainians are fine with dismemberment when they don’t like the side whose PoWs get dismembered. So the emotion in that article is funny.
You employ heavy whataboutism and generally jump all over the place in your comment. Okay, you put Azeri-Armenian conflict there for some reason, but then you briefly mention heart-eating in Syria? What are you talking about? How it’s related to the thread under that article? It feels like I’ve jumped into an hour-long discussion at the end, but no, that’s what you start it with. I believe, if you put it there, you want people to understand your point and interact with you, but you yourself need to be coherent for it to be possible.
The fediverse is a tight camp yet we don’t need to agree on everything and who knows where we’d meet next.
There though I say I don’t understand why you put these things together before even arguing your point or jumping on you. I didn’t see any side condone that kind of violence in Azeri-Armenian conflict, only a mere support of one side over another due to political support of the side suspected behind them. Moreso, I don’t remember it getting any coverage in worldnews at all, or someone having any stakes beside the parties involved and their close partners. It’s not the exact thread to do so, but you can raise awareness about that if you will.
I feel like you can explain the connection you made.
Worldnews has nothing to do with this. The indignation in the article is funny in comparison with the emotions I’ve encountered from Ukrainians in TG and elsewhere about Azeri war crimes. Which is why I feel like laughing at it. Not at the crime itself.
I also don’t get what you are trying to say, that most people here don’t have the context to understand? That is their fault. I’ve described it briefly, they may politely ask if that weren’t clear, just like they’d ask their professors in college if they don’t understand something.

The only olympics I have watched and don’t know when is when me and a bunch of friends got shitface at a bar and were taking bets on the slow walking sport…may not be called it but I won. Have never watched anything else besides that and plus the Olympics do more damage to society and environment than what they are worth. Even tv networks who sign contracts to televise it always bitch about losing money about a couple weeks after it is over. And they will do it again this year.
I always like the premise of Olympics improving public infrastructure: “Yeah we had the money to do this all along but we couldn’t be arsed, but now that we’re going to host a big TV thing we’ll get it done.”
No. We exchanged eight Russians held in non-Russian prisons for 16 prisoners (some Russian, some not) held in Russian prisons. After Navalny’s death the concern is that people imprisoned for opposing Putin will die in prison.

They can’t even follow the special rules they made for their special court. One wonders why they don’t just take KSM behind the woodshed since the outcome is obviously the point of the process.
When you see what a kangaroo court the US Military runs, remember that millions of Arab residents of the occupied territories are under military jurisdiction while their colonizing neighbors enjoy rights under civilian justice. Israel is the only country in the world who’s military runs juvenile courts.
Fourth paragraph includes “As a result of low construction costs, due to the use of existing sport infrastructure, coupled with a reliance on private corporate funding,[5] the 1984 Games generated a profit of over US$250 million.”
As for the 2028 Olympics, most venues are existing, with some temporary venues for minor events and shifting of some events to other areas with adequate infrastructure including Oklahoma City. Upgrades to city infrastructure like LAX and the region’s mass transit network were already planned and deemed necessary before bidding for the Olympics; the only difference has been in pushing forward some schedules.
There don’t seem to be any glaring white elephant projects for 2028. A lot of what kills most budgets is building mass infrastructure that doesn’t get used. That isn’t happening in Los Angeles.
I will take that bet. I will say this that nowadays everyone just reads headlines or memes it off others. People don’t wake up early or subscribe to the olympics no matter what the platform is. It has been 30 years since 1984. Shit has changed so you can’t use that as an example. Oh by the bet you have to donate to your local humane shelter that is no kill.
I get to watch the Olympics this year for 8 bucks on Peacock. Absolutely terrible UI, have to refresh the browser periodically because it causes Firefox to eat RAM, but I can watch any event I want, whenever I want. Kinda sweet. Some of us exist and have been begging for something like this for years.
Just because you don't care about the Olympics doesn't mean others share your opinion.
Funding for television rights goes to the IOC, not the hosting city. It has been that way always.
And I provided an example of how Los Angeles came out ahead in the last two Olympics and showed that the city is implementing the same strategy for this Olympics.
The reason a lot of cities go over budget is because they build too much and don’t have uses for the infrastructure after the games. That isn’t an issue for Los Angeles; Los Angeles has everything it needs for the Olympics already.

July 16 (Reuters) - The United States is at risk of losing both the 2028 Summer and 2034 Winter Olympics if American law enforcement over reaches in its investigation of Chinese swimmers, said former senior International Olympic Committee (IOC) member Dick Pound.
Ok after reading your comment just going to put a comment that probably everyone was thinking after they read it. Dick Pound lol there is a joke to be made there.
