These moves reinforce what has already been apparent: the EU and Britain are obstructing efforts toward a ceasefire not because they believe Ukraine can prevail militarily, but because they fear the political and financial consequences of acknowledging that their approach to the conflict has failed, causing thousands of deaths.

it would make things so much easier if they just admitted it

A total of 433 lawmakers participated in the vote, with 173 in favor, 244 against, and 16 abstentions, the group said.

do they have quorum rules? because this is the sort of situation where you deny a quorum to force the issue.

the last time i heard of this group was in the context of them winning the egyptian election and obama quietly supporting the military coup to reverse this democracy in action; i wonder if there’s a clearer sign that trump and obama are the same side.

both are golfing-centered movies; you can be forgiven for it since they’re essentially the same story. lol

and take away food stamps and health insurance subsidies.

you can be more certain of this if the negotiations fall apart again by another poison pill from trump.

and the poor are the most enthusiastic about it because they’re conditioned to by the rich.

the icing on this shit cake is that the poor will get angry at you for trying to make them aware of this fact.

this would be the lamest or funniest video ever if it existed. lol

feels light and silly to me.

Money talks.

and standing for justice is expensive.

should I consider getting checked out for autism??

do it because it’s much more common than people realize.

also, it’s called a spectrum for a reason; there are varying degrees of “strengths” and “types” of neurodivergence. (there’s actual words for them but my memory is useless before coffee).

i need to get into the habit of adding tags like these because i’m almost never serious and it never fails for someone to miss the sarcasm/snark each time i do it.

probably why they’re banned in so many places

it’s not in the new york times or the washington post or the bbc, so they can’t understand it without the western propaganda to help them understand.

i envy you for not knowing who the rock is.

it makes you wonder where they’ll start the next one to keep the profits rolling in.

i bet it’s either venezuela or nigeria.

The attempt to trap the Russian tanker could be an indication that Trump …

yet another reason to doubt bric’s prowess on the world’s stage (for now atleast) and a big warning to anyone else in latin america considering getting closer to china.

even after the us empires loses it’s control as a world power around a century from now; it’ll still be a regional power w most of latin america as its region thanks to its bases in cuba and puerto rico; like they’re currently being used to threaten venezuela.

the best case scenario is another south africa; which isn’t entirely bad because i would expect the isrealis to denuclearize its samson option before handing the keys over to the native population as it finalizes its white flight like south africa did w their nuclear weaponry.

i don’t expect to see it in my lifetime and, by then, i suspect that there will be as few palestinians as there are isrealis today.

my inner pessimist expects isreal and the palestinians to play out the same way that the united states and it’s native americans did; or canada and its first nations did; or australia and its aboriginals did, or new zealand and its maori did, so normalized in the west where even the notion of reparations is openly laughed at by its anglosphere-aligned leaders.

do the isreali’s give a rat’s ass about being in the un?

you would think so because that’s how they were created, but they keep calling the un antisemitic.

then again, they call everything antisemitic. lol
