this is so farcical, does anyone actually believe these US 4D-chess explanations of how unwavering support of Israel and impudent demands of surrender to the resistance constitute an effort to “defuse” the situation

pouring gas on the fire and screaming “i’m trying to put it out!!!”

Not exactly a large fighting force

they’re not there to hold down a trench

there were not decades of cuts. Obama’s “modernization” efforts were categorically expansion and escalation.

im confused, what is the point of this if the current ballistic missiles on the subs could hit anywhere in China?? cruise v ballistic seems like grifting on a nuclear level, tactically/conventionally there’s a difference but 1,000 nuke exchange it doesnt really matter how they fly everyones dead anyway

also a deeply unpopular politician on the mainland so it’s also a show of good faith

unlimited genocide on the memory of the white butcher of shanghai and taipei

what does shutting down sex work and bars do unless children are at bars & doing sex work??? classic carceral thinking, making whatever processes/institutions that enabled this more oblique and underground than transparent

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…

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
