All the complaints about supposed violations of international law that the US has made in the past really ring hollow now that Johnson has said the quiet part out loud: international bodies are designed to control the "impoverished, barbaric" Global East and South, not the "enlightened" Global West.

Camp David Accords? To shreds, you say?

filoria OP ,

Usually not the biggest fan of bellingcat because they tend to be overconfident (and often wrong as a result), but when you have a surplus of information like in this case there's little they can deny...

filoria OP ,

April Fools right guys? Haha... ha...

filoria OP ,

China doesn't typically intervene in clearly foreign affairs unless Chinese citizens are harmed. This is as true in Sri Lanka as it will be in Pakistan. Balochistan's days are numbered.

Edit: isn't it just a little odd that Russia, Iran, and Pakistan (but really China) just conveniently got hit by terrorist attacks in the first 3 months of 2024?

filoria OP ,

China and Taiwan is a domestic issue stemming from civil war, which you'd know if you ever picked up a history book. There's a reason Taiwan's current territorial claims are larger than the entirety of mainland China's (China signed some treaty with Vietnam, which Taiwan does not recognize).

Real "cultural genocide" is when your schools have specific halal canteens in the dining hall.

Freedom and democracy is when you outlaw Islamic schools.

Gee it sure sucks that Evergrande collapsed. What a horrible sign for the Chinese economy!

America is driving Germany’s deindustrialisation ( unherd.com )

The cat is out of the bag. After months of denial, it is now conventional wisdom that Germany — and Europe more generally — faces deindustrialisation due to the end of cheap Russian piped gas. “Germany’s Days as an Industrial Superpower Are Coming to an End,” reads a headline on Bloomberg....

Recession is a fact. PMI contraction is a fact. When your government has taken on debt with the assumption that number keep go up, that's a problem.

Instead of evil Russian fossil fuel producers, you now have very nice very cool very reliable American fossil fuels producers.

Exxon Mobil publicly denied global warming for years but quietly predicted it

‘Worthless’: Chevron’s carbon offsets are mostly junk and some may harm, research says‘Worthless’: Chevron’s carbon offsets are mostly junk and some may harm, research says

They cleaned up BP’s massive oil spill. Now they’re sick – and want justice

The third holiest site in Islam. Access restricted.

Huh.

filoria OP ,

I'm not saying it's because of Tesla's unionbusting bullshit, but that certainly doesn't help.

Swedes Are United Against Tesla’s Union Busting

Solidarity for all labour ✊

filoria OP ,

The funniest part about this ban is that it puts intense scrutiny on US supply chains, which are heavily reliant on prison labour.

The absolute horror of research in Antarctica. Clearly a sign of colonial intent.

filoria OP ,

Terms seem rather agreeable and a far sight better than any peace deal that would be signed today.

Why the fuck did they not sign this? It properly codifies security guarantees from the UNSC, only properly relinquishes Crimea, leaves the LNR/DNR up to diplomacy, and makes Russian an official language along with Ukraine (which captures the fact that some 34% of Ukrainians speak Russian).

Hundreds of thousands dead and wounded, millions fled from the country, Crimea still lost, Bakhmut lost, Avdiivka lost, and for what? To "prevent another war" despite more comprehensive security guarantees from the UNSC? To "bleed the Russians dry" despite being outproduced by the sheer industrial output of Soviet-era machinery in Russia? To "stand up for sovereignty" despite clearer and clearer signs of covert US intervention during and following Euromaidan?

What a fucking mess.
