Not a controversial stance for an European nation but the joint statement is interesting. Could this be a part of a deal for China to flip on Russia. Does China choose to stay with an ideological reactionary ally or move towards collaborations

tiredturtle ,

The headline is a bit misleading. The article elaborates some, for example:

In other remarks, Crosetto said that if Russian troops were to occupy Kyiv, it would "inevitably lead to a clash with other nations, which would not accept Russian tanks on their borders."

European nations have been voicing the need of peace from the beginning, it's just that the negotiating third parties can't get Russia to participate in a dialogue. Which leads to desperate stuff like France asking for China to do their part (desperate because they'd need some unlikely deal incentive to flip).

I was thinking of that situation as well, and I remember there was some foul play around that plan. The gist might have been that the Russian envoy did appear at the location but wouldn't negotiate. Time will tell if we ever find out the truth.

Maybe it's like a "takes one to know one" situation, as both the USA and China meddle in the Middle-East and Africa with an infantilizing attitude.

Echoes of the 30s. Putin following the checklist from the Austrian painter and other news are displaying escalation after escalation

tiredturtle ,

Yea lol, every other day it's that "collapse imminent" and every other time it's "turning around and winning everything"

tiredturtle ,

Yeah it's true that even though the term West/western is so varying, it is difficult to include Russia in.

But the point of imperialism rising is valid, US might be losing grasp but Russia and China are grabbing what they can to oppress as well.

Worldnews .ml modding is on par with reddit's censorship

I know that lemmy's moto is if you don't like it here make your own, but for communities with big sub numbers and where current event discussions happens. banning controversial political opinions is not what I would have expected from the fediverse after having left corporate media, which could be excused for having to answer to...

I've joined this instance because of the rules and the communist lean

No bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia. Code of Conduct.

Be respectful, especially when disagreeing. Everyone should feel welcome here.

However it's clear that the worldnews modding rotten. Fascist/xenophobic/antisemite users have their posts alive while those who call them out get hidden or even banned.

As it is the main news community of the instance, I understand how it can be seen as an instance issue instead of user preference to use some smaller community.

tiredturtle ,

Good ideas. Blocking actually only hides content from the user, it doesn't lead to admin action.

Didn't they attack in France/Germany/Spain some time ago? Or are they exempt from being the spooky West

tiredturtle ,

How west we talking about? Europe has an existential self-interest, USA has a capitalist military industry profit self-interest. Even going further to the west, China's involvement serves self-interest.

tiredturtle ,

Let's not forget that Hungary is aligned with China in addition to Russia and Israel

Musk supports Russia so what's the play here

tiredturtle ,

Huh, found that news on Google. So Musk is quite publicly doing something in secret, with the CIA and Russia. Definitely fishy

tiredturtle ,

Far right and the rest of the capitalists are pro each other until it no longer benefits them

tiredturtle ,

Fascists collaborating with fascists claiming to not is not very believable

As neonazis commonly say that antifa are the true fascists, how many truly believe and why

tiredturtle ,

Then again, Donbas backed by fascist Russia and Ukraine having neonazi groups fighting each other, anti-fascists can't support either. Mathematically considering, Russia's invasion succeeding would promote more fascism to spread. What would prevent them or others in the future?

tiredturtle ,

Yeah, Azov is a bad look for Ukraine, even though they fight against Russia's fascist forces

Edit: some seemed to misunderstand. Nazis are always horrible, even when used against a larger threat.

tiredturtle ,

They don't seem like a lib tho. Mistaking Russian rightwingery with communism isn't their mo

tiredturtle ,

I'm not going to go comment stalking. Usually libs just oppose right wingers for the sake of opposing their authoritarianism

tiredturtle ,

Did they? I get the objections towards auths, who doesn't. But I've never seen them conflated with communism

tiredturtle ,

Yeah. WaPo is a Bezos media, stirring shit between other fascists just for its own benefit. Trump, Bezos, rest of the capitalist scum are all like red fash with power, it's ridiculous that they try to use it against each other. I guess we can give a point to libs for opposing those in this case.
