urging the french people not to be ‘cowardly’

Israel became the first non-European nation to compete in Eurovision in 1973

huh theres another petrol derivative called naphtha in english lol, shared etymology for related substances

NAFTA?? who’s she?

yeah but catching libs in a bind about it when 60% of their ideology is malding at hypocrisy is kinda funny

like i don’t give a shit about tuck but in what reality is simply talking to the “enemy” some kind of punishable offense. y’all supposed to be all about free press, are they not free to speak to bad people?

yeah okay 12 years of solitary is pretty bad, though amenities are better in norwegian prisons than elsewhere. they should probably put him with other prisoners or release him, he’ll probably get killed pretty quick but if that’s what he wants…

GOOD

what’s karma about this?

No damage or leaks were confirmed.

you called it a fairy tale, genius

Drug Trade

LMAO i trust you’ll believe a US government rag whining about the Taliban’s successful anti-opium campaign (opium the US puppet regime definitely disapproved of, right?)

that’s not the exonerating testimony you think it is. 25% of the money, to say nothing of the proportion of arms, logistical or political support is a substantial contribution to a project that has locked Afghanistan in warlordism for 45 fucking years

Have you seen a middle-eastern market? Of the kind where they bargain. Like in fairy-tales

imagine citing a fantasy trope to justify economic policy jfc

you’re only allowed to call the PRC “totalitarian” or undemocratic if you condemn the “democracies” of the english speaking world. the US president isn’t even the person who gets the most votes🤡

Taiwan does not “generally” have a stance against reunification, some independence parties are a bit more popular than they used to be, but them becoming a legally independent state requires vast constitutional and international changes no government has even begun to implement

Say, what would the data show if we measured cumulatively instead of pretending history began in the 1990s?

46% of s. Koreans support unification versus 26% against, the United States constitutes the single greatest obstacle to this & Korean soverignty

military presence in the country is pretty different from occupation

45 fucking years the US propped up, armed, and aided the dictatorial rule of conservative and military governments in South Korea. South Korea’s army still comes under US control in wartime, but sure 2 decades of just mostly corrupt “democracy” means they can just opt-out of US military garrisons. nothing bad would happen to the government that demands that, no matter how popular it is with the Korean people

if you’re not willing to concede anything

the US won’t concede basic demands like moving their troops off the border! fucking ridiculous equating Korea’s refusal to expose itself to attack with US bases thousands of miles away from the US

chronic food shortage stricken, ostracized

i wonder why a country under economic sanction from the US & its allies for decades might have economic trouble. i wonder why they’re rude to the US after the US bombed and murdered their people for 3 years & still occupy the southern half of their country

white folks who have had their brains rewired to justify the genocidal histories of their peoples always think genocide is the default, against all fucking evidence

can’t blame Israel

i most certainly can. the instigator of violence always has the option to not continue and to make reparations. israelis are only targets for violence so long as they make life intolerable for palestinians.
