Damn, what is the non-fossil-fuel-sponsored version of COP now, since this is just a farce to cover a fossil fuel enthusiast conference? Does the IPCC organize anything credible?

50000 would not be near enough to push to Sumy, let alone Kiev. But they want to make sure they retake Kursk before the conflict is frozen.

My opinion is he knows the other powerful dudes who did it, so they can’t go too hard on him.

you really didn’t get the point, did you? Anti-bibi, anti-genocide, anti-whatever-israel-is-doing. Nitpicking about words and trying to own the moral high ground instead of focusing on the only path that gave you a little leverage. But again, it is not your fault, it was mostly a successful two-pronged campaign by disinformation centrals coming from the left and the right.

Harris was campaigning and bibi knew he had leverage, because the worse it got, the more anti-israel pro-palestine vote she’d lose. Lose-lose-lose situation for Harris, Palestine, anti-israel voters. That the left was not more strategic about this (e.g. Bernie’s stance, which was strategic), I blame on great russian disinfo and agitators, not just shit intrinsic takes from the left.

Who could have predicted this???

Is this true, have you read it in the original japanese? Because this nuance can get lost in translation.

This is how it started in most EU countries: one MP who is an idiot, but gains in representation every election by also taking advantage of the contradictions of governing. These idiots did not use to grow, but now they do…and they are networked too now.

Is it Japan’s turn to have a go at surfing the wave of stupid?

“Virtue and Vice police” lol

idiots who obsess over the Koran and do not understand the least bit that virtue can only come from your own choices, not from coercion, that would be easy for god to do. This is why religion is bullshit. A devout evangelical couldn’t spot the antichrist right in front of them.

If you can’t even do the most basic thing to help push the tiniest bit to prevent the worst from happening to you, why would anyone else care?

They were courting anyone from the political spectrum who was still a constitutionalist, lefties included, to unite against whatever trump’s mood happens to be that day.

And throws anyone caught in public with a palestinian flag in jail…they really showed it to genocide Joe.

I’d rather russia had just embargoed Ukraine, for the 2014 “revolution” instead of invading. And that China embargo Taiwan instead of invading if that ever comes to pass. Don’t you? It’s not even a siege as some people are portraying it, there are no secondary sanctions.

That said, I’d rather the embargo were lifted and relations were normalized, maybe Cuba would turn into a sort of Vietnam, but that would take more than just the US lifting restrictions, it would take reform on Cuba’s part as well. Even China agrees that Cuba needs market reforms e.g. https://www.diariolasamericas.com/america-latina/china-rompe-acuerdos-comerciales-cuba-ya-no-es-el-sugar-daddy-del-regimen-n5365604 and won’t invest in a dying economy unless they change, same as the US.

Is the EU “funding” them? I thought all arms to Israel were for profit. Because if they aren’t, they should be sent to Ukraine instead if possible.

Everything just stayed the same plus one less headache to deal with in the EU. Not bad, really, considering all that’s been going on in the last 10 years.

Certainly not the guys who made speeches about and plans to break the previous ceasefire. Nothing improved, so why would they have changed their minds now?

Syria was WW3’s Spanish civil war.

Maybe, but you are missing a point too. Even if it was a mistake to create Israel in hindsight (the world was very different just after 1945), the fact is that there are millions of people who live there, call the place home and will do anything to keep what they have.

Good luck “making them disappear” by basing all your reasoning on dismissing them as zionists and a settler state who cannot possibly feel like they truly belong there.

The best you can get is a palestinian state and expulsion of settlers from the West Bank, but for that you need assurances that Iran or anyone else won’t be placing missiles 20km away from any major Israeli city, which anyone who thinks like you will never be able to guarantee, because of what you believe.

Now compare that to russia, largest country on Earth, with infinite resources, enough nukes to destroy every major capital, huge strategic depth (less than the US, more than most countries) acting like they are the victim against a country that committed the crime of not submitting to their influence and then annexing 5 Israels’ worth of their land.

If Ukraine had done to russia half of what hamas and hezbollah have done to Israel, nobody would be rushing to Ukraine’s defense, like nobody rushed to Iraq’s defense.

Human rights can at most make you neutral about Israel vs its opponents, because none of Israel’s opponents give a crap about human rights either. Not the case with Ukraine, they at most match russian escalation.

Israel, despite being captured by fucking brutal idiots right now (whereas before Oct7, bibi was eventually going to jail, gee thanks hamas), has always faced some existential threat of some kind, whereas russia never faced any realistic threat from anyone and still brag about their willingness to break all rules for “russian greatness”.
