Number crunching

A year or so ago @TonyasTaters lamented, and rightly so I add, 450 Ukrainian children dying.  Hell, he called me a war criminal supporter even when I posted UN Human Rights Commission figures that show Russia has only killed 9,600 some odd Civilians. 

See for yourself:

Truly, a terrible amount of people and inexcusable.  Its also why I hate war as in war no matter how hard you try to avoid it and Russia has certainly shown far more restraint than the "rules based" world order nations of the US and Britain are capable of (Iraqi civilian dead per year were at least 35,000 and maybe as much as half a million).  Now Tony, Tonya, Bill, whatever, I agree 450 children dead and 10,000 civilian dead is a tragedy.  

So I ask you Tonya, what do you say about Israel's killing of Palestinian Children? Per the UN 160 children are being killed a day because of the current Israeli war.  10,000 people have died in two months and we may never know how many are dying because unlike Ukraine, nobody's propaganda organs has any real reason to keep track of civilian death.

The loss of any human life is a tragedy. I feel horrible for the citizens of Gaza and it is a tragedy what has happened. Please remember Russia attacked Ukraine that's a fact and all trustworthy news outlets have proven that. You are not an expert therefore you lack the expertise to challenge that information. Hamas who is a terrorist organization in Gaza, who by the way were voted in as the government in charge attacked Israel. It's also worth noting prior to October 7th there was a seize fire. Guess who violated it? Hamas and they attacked families killing women and children even severing their heads off and placing them in ovens. Were the civilians of Israel given a chance to leave. NOPE! Isreal has given the Palestinians a chance but Hamas continues to hold them at gun point and use them as human shields. Btw why don't you ever talk about the 100's of Jews who are being held hostage? This is a very sad situation all around but yet again you defend the perpetrators. You fall for this as you think you are an expert but you are not and therefore lack the knowledge to determine who is right or wrong. You must rely on the experts and you will better understand the world we live in.

What credentials do you have to challenge "Trustworthy news outlets". It's pretty simple you are an expert or you are not. Sorry that's how it works.

It's advisable for anyone to question the current brainwashing.

If you don't recognize it as such, that's your issue.

du bist keine Experte.  

Bahaha! Why didn't you finish the PHD? No kids and a job you have time. You and I know why... The BS you spew here can't be done where you have to provide reliable sources. Especially when you have to defend your doctoral thesis.

Interesting.

Truth is decided by "expert" opinion.

What makes one an "expert"? Getting paid for one's opinions?

Pros are experts and amateurs are fools by definition?

When you want the truth, do you say "Find out what all the experts say so I know what opinions to believe!"?

That's why using proper sources matter. Yes the experts are experts for a reason. If your car breaks down do you drive to the movie studio to get it repaired. Come on now ...

In 2002, all the "experts" said Iraq had WMDs.

A million people died as a result.

Use your fucking head.

Qualifying someone as an "expert" is only a guide.

It's not a guarantee of truth.

After all, I'm sure the Spanish Inquisition considered themselves "experts".

Not all experts agreed with WMD's. Remember the experts are human so they get things wrong. Like when you go to a doctor you get an opinion. You are waaaaay to black and white. The experts are often more right than wrong than say a lay person in a given topic.

Exactly.

So, blowing off someone's considered opinion because they disagree with the "experts" is foolish, because expertise is only a guide, not a guarantee.

Yes but when someone takes a completely different approach or opinion they should have the expertise to do so. You and I are lay people when it comes to foreign policy. You or I don't have the specific knowledge to provide a substantial challenge. In court of laws they just don't bring in a random person to testify as an expert do they? No they don't. You have to provide credentials and experiences. You or I would not be considered an expert to testify in court as it pertains to foreign policy. You don't go to a contractor for a second opinion for a heart condition, you go to another doctor.

Speak for yourself.

I've been doing this for 22 fucking years and I've been proven correct every time..

So, why am I disqualified from expert status whereas blonde bimbos and paid mouthpieces at CNN and MSNBC qualify?

For fuck's sake, use your head.

It's supposedly what we're here for.
