To where? Do you really strive for the Soviet air travel experience where people often had to sleep in the airports on their bags? That was due to over-demand of tickets at the existing price point. Communist air travel have been tried, so

Many capitalistic countries do not have that. Everywhere I flew the order of boarding was "whatever". This was even when flying out of USA on non-US airlines. Failing that - regulation.

Ground offensive makes it worse but it's already very bad. Worse than most of the stuff seen in the Russo-Ukrainian. The question is actually a different one: about the collateral damage. But in the case of both Palestine and Israel, t

Again, this is one missile (maybe it was shot down by AA rocket, or just went off course). And most of the building is still standing. The point of this launch was likely some military target. Compare that to Palestinean videos where a doze

Launching "a missile" at a target pales in comparison with a row of apartment blocks levelled by air strikes. And no, ground offensives are not the same. I hope we won't see those in Gaza - there is still chance.

As it was already noticed, it was not due to unannounced airstrikes in Bakhmut but due to ground offensive. Any civilians could and should have been evacuated by then, or at least took cover. If we will seee ground offensive in Gaza, the pi

So on display is an apartment block being hit by "a missile". That would be our exhibit A. However, the issue is that exhibit B is whole rows of apartment blocks hollowed out, visibly mangled or even levelled out by Israeli air st

As a fact, no, I don't. The amount of carnage seen on Palestine photos and videos is not matched. Of you read words written by press, you may get an impression that it is comparable. But you will struggle to find evidence backing it up

They won't be if Russia decided to start with a massive air strikes campaign before even starting ground offensive. But that's not happened - not against the apartment blocks, anyway.

Because the Gaza footage is quite a mess. You will have hard times matching it with Ukraine footage. Sometimes, whole neighbourhoods of civilian high rises were levelled. Meanwhile, obviously the carnage of civilians during the initial Gaza

I'm not sure how "undermining Russia" is supposed to get you any votes (popular support, followers) in that Russia you are undermining. Grant money that can yield all right.

My thoughts are that the press (and moreso twitter) has a very skewed way to report stuff. It is designed for entertainment value and not for rigor, and also to push a narrative. Having two sets if inputs regarding somewhat similar events a
