    I don’t get how this was downvoted. The ambiguity of “minimizes” along with an article literally minimizing civilian casualties is 100% the onion. Maybe it’s too depressing to be funny. I certainly can’t laugh at it, it’s more that it makes me feel even more cynical about the world, but it does feel like the onion to me.

      That’s what I thought too. The claim is over the roof… “THAN ANYONE IN HISTORY!”

      In all of history? Give me a break, JPost lol

    Oh, another news about “who said what” on a social site crammed into 10 posts with 2 sentences each?

    Back in the day they would have straight up banned you from most forums for that.

      There’s nothing more ironic than this, and it reads like an onion post. Why should I be “banned” from “most forums” for this?

        I was talking about the twitter post the article references? Its almost like my first sentence has something to do with the second.

          Okay, I was confused because you said:

            That is a pretty standard to phrase it that way. I cant make you invest more brainpower into reading my stupid comments but I cant downgrade my phrasing any more than this.

              Is this rudeness really called for? I’m just asking you to explain what you mean by this clearly ambiguous sentence. I’m not trying to imply anything, just trying to understand what you’re saying.
