These libs are so used to having stopped caring about a war 8 years before it’s lost that they don’t even recognize what losing a war looks like. They think they can copium their way into Ukraine getting better terms.

yeATO

I’m supporting the decision of the Georgian state to improve relations with Russia, its neigbour and the regional power. I support this because improved relations can lead to security and trade agreements that improve the material conditions of the Georgian working class. If the state ultimately backs away from this decision due to it being a ploy to gain leverage over the west, then I will absolutely be critical of such a move. On the other hand, I can imagine how following through can be beneficial for the ruling class as well and I don’t think that your conclusion is a guaranteed outcome.

As others have said, the article is about Georgia’s decision to strengthen its relationship with Russia at the expense of its relationship with the west. The rose revolution is important to understand Georgia’s current position on this.

Has IvanishviIi not already established a regime? In what way does improving relations with Russia allow him to further consolidate his power? While I certainly don’t support oligarchy, Georgia’s struggle against western imperialism is surely worth critical support.

I’m not familiar at all with Georgian politics, but if what you say is true, I do kind of agree that the author should have included some discussion on the matter. That being said, I don’t see how this makes it not “great news”. Regardless of who holds power in Georgia, do you think that having better relations with Russia, its neighbor with which they share a border, will be a bad thing for Georgians?

He just banned his opposition from running in them. Certainly not the same thing.

Lmao. You’re going to need to provide a source for that one.

There’s a pretty long list of other world leaders who if they went out violently like this, I’d be all ripbozo smoking on the prez pack. Unfortunately, Raeisi is not one of them.

The problem with liberal democracies isn’t that representatives are elected, its who those politicians represent. It’s not the working class, except when it is and those politicians get Salvador Allende’d 💀.

Hell yeah!

To be fair, it was also unhinged when the Kiev regime did it. I say this because to me, it feels like a glorification of war. This isn’t to say that I disapprove (not that that matters). As you say, it’s a direct response and I still think it’s pretty funny.

This is funny, but also pretty unhinged.

Oh yeah, totally. Because the US state apparatus would never abuse the legal system to punish dissidents. They have the national guard for that.

You didn’t read the article.

The Kremlin has denied any state involvement. Last month, Putin called Navalny’s demise “sad” and said he had been ready to hand the jailed politician over to the West in a prisoner exchange provided Navalny never return to Russia. Navalny’s allies said such talks had been under way.

I apologize if I misunderstood you, but there is no both sides here. The united nations recognizes the right to armed struggle against occupation.

UNGA Resolution 37/43 (1982) reaffirmed the “inalienable right” of the Palestinian people “and all peoples under foreign and colonial domination” to self-determination. It also reaffirmed the legitimacy of “the struggle of peoples for […] liberation from colonial and foreign domination and foreign occupation by all available means, including armed struggle.”

It even mentions the Palestinian struggle explicitly.

Killed by who?

A separate report published in Haaretz noted that the Israeli military was “compelled to request an aerial strike” against its own facility inside the Erez Crossing to Gaza “in order to repulse the terrorists” who had seized control. That base was filled with Israeli Civil Administration officers and soldiers at the time.

An Israeli woman named Yasmin Porat confirmed in an interview with Israel Radio that the military “undoubtedly” killed numerous Israeli noncombatants during gun battles with Hamas militants on October 7. “They eliminated everyone, including the hostages,” she stated, referring to Israeli special forces.

While being held by the Hamas gunmen, Porat recalled, “They did not abuse us. We were treated very humanely… No one treated us violently.”

She added, “The objective was to kidnap us to Gaza, not to murder us.”

I’m aware that some of the hostages that were taken were children. All accounts suggest that they were treated well, for hostages anyway. Its important to recognize that the Zionist regime keeps thousands upon thousands of Palestinian hostages, many of which are children. The Zionists could have negotiated an exchange, ensuring the safe return of all Israeli hostages. Instead, they decided to bomb the living shit out of Gaza, pretty much ensuring their demise.

That’s a pretty serious claim. Do you have any evidence to support it?

Settlers are occupiers and therefore, not civilians.

Oh okay. So you’re genuinely interested in the DPRK’s participation in earth hour due to having electricity at night. Even though theres nothing about electricity availability mentioned in the article. Got it. Real thought provoking stuff.

I can’t understand how anyone can think building housing for a population is a bad thing. So do you want the quality of life for people in the DPRK to improve or do you not care as long as your idea of what it is, is proven correct?
