tiredturtle , 1 month ago to World News in Italy calls for Ukraine truce, peace talks with Putin

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.

tiredturtle , 1 month ago to World News in France joins China to condemn Israel’s Rafah attack plans in sign the European power is veering from US on key issues

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 , 1 month ago to World News in Italy calls for Ukraine truce, peace talks with Putin

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).

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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