What’s the use of that information? They have that problem now.

It appears to be an internationally occurring problem.

That might be a good idea, but I think that folks need to examine fundamental factors underlying the rise of the far right and the ways in which limiting speech may be a weak remedy.

Someone correct me if I’m mistaken, but aren’t these a massive undercount because they’re only counting combat casualties and omitting the starvation and excess mortality of complete civil collapse?

According to the Lancet, indirect deaths are typically 3 - 15 times direct deaths. So a conservative estimate is that the actual death toll is around 200k, or ~10% of the prewar population.

It should be noted that northern Gaza is in a deliberate famine during winter. Words just fail me.

This is so tragic.

It must be pretty stressful to be the president of a country like Azerbaijan in this situation. What are you going to do? I’m surprised he has been this frank in his anger. Calling out Russia under Putin in a situation like this seems like it has a lot of downsides and no real upsides.

Good for him. People shouldn’t die like this.
