Six officers from North Korea were among the 20 soldiers killed in a Ukrainian missile strike on Russian-occupied territory near Donetsk, intelligence sources say.

      I also like to laugh and make jokes about people who die after being born into totalitarian dictatorships, and have to join the military to feed themselves, or their families.

      Oh wait, no, I don’t.

      You can support Ukraine, and not be glib about, or rejoice in, specific deaths of soldiers on a battlefield.

      A good first step would be to stop watching war porn of soldiers getting merked with grenade drops, if that’s something you do, I don’t know.

        Their comment was hardly, “lololol dead soldiers”, learn to not be triggered so easily.

          Well that’s good. That would have meant my description of it being glib, would have been inaccurate.

            Your comment is not an overreaction for calling it glib, smartass.

              Would you mind giving me a list of the type of jokes that are, and are not, okay for me to call out in this context?

              Because first it was because it’s wasn’t “lololol dead soldiers”, then it was just that I called it out… so I’m confused.

                  No, you came in and tried to apply obscure and undefined rules to my speech.

                  When I politely ask you to define those rules, you instead tell me that I’m a fool.

                  Someone here is certainly a fool, but it’s not me.
