  • BUT THE WEST

    First off there is support by European countries and the US for Ukraine, though I agree that the decision for giving up their nukes should have come with harder guarantees; second Ukraine wasn’t as connected to the EU or the US as Iran was to Russia.

    Russia is in no way legally obliged to help, but we’ve already seen what happens if they are (with Armenia not officially withdrawn, but having stopped paying membership fees and not participating in the CSTO). Russia is projecting weakness and offers no incentive to align with them for other countries, their words in this matter are not only hollow and hypocritical, but also embarrassing because they presented themselves as a military power, yet they only talk once an actual military power attacks an any.

    The fact that Zelensky is still alive after four years while Chamenei was killed in the first night of the war (both a result of intelligence) is a very hard reality check, regardless of what one thinks is right or legal, which my post isn’t supposed to claim anything about.



















  • They do because that’s factually correct. But is it worth reporting that a government website reflects events?

    It would be news in my opinion if there was an actual message behind it. But since there’s no warning, not even partial, it doesn’t carry political weight – which in my think the headline implies (though the article makes it clear that it’s not).

    Basically, the headline can be reduced to “German agency does its job”
