Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Troops from DPRK have not been in Ukraine, they are only in Russia. They also don’t indiscriminately bomb civilian areas, that’s Ukraine. It’s clear you have gotten a distorted and biased stream of information on what this war has entailed. If Russia was so desperate, why are they winning on all fronts? What are you even talking about? Russia could easily flatten all of Kiev and Lviv overnight if they just carpet bombed them like you claim they do. That’s how Israel and the US fights, not Russia.
Russia slowly pushes an advance with artillery and only uses precise missile strikes on weapon depots, drone manufacturing, energy, oil depots, etc behind the front-lines. Civilians evacuate from these areas and they become grayzone in the frontlines, with monthlong artillery duels going on and pushes with a couple dozen armored vehicles. They use drones to attrition enemy supply lines.
None of this is "indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas" there's always a military target.
Whereas Israel and the US just do indiscriminate air strikes taking out city blocks until the entire populated area is reduced to rubble. They did this throughout Asia and the Middle East. This kills tens to hundreds of thousands of civilians per month. The Russia-Ukrainian war has gone on 3+ years and has less civilian casualties than Israel's recent massacres since Al Aqsa Flood which are 1/3 as old.
