  • Yes, using WP in general is not a war crime, but that’s because it’s usually used for illumination in large open fields, not in densely-populated urban centers.

    Using WP over Gaza is. There is no way to avoid civilian casualties when using WP over Gaza because of how densely populated it is. There is no way to know who will suffer, how many, or for how long. All we know is that they definitely won’t get the medical treatment they need because Netanyahu’s government has been preventing humanitarian aid from coming in, prevented them from having access to food or clean water, and shut down their access to electricity.




  • Then let’s play Occam’s razor: who wins if Nordstream is permanently out of commission? Who wins if Balticconnector is permanently out of commission?

    It’s not Russia, because they’re not pumping gas through the pipelines anyway. In fact, it’s rather harmful to post-war Russian reintegration with the EU.

    The easiest explanation isn’t that Russia would attack third-party infrastructure between two NATO countries when, by all accounts, US support is drying up and EU support is dropping like flies.
