Israel: Make sure the hate continues into next generation by traumatizing children, so that even if Hamas is destroyed, there are seeds for new islamic terror groups 🤦🏻♀️ This will never end like this…
Sounds a lot like that claptrap about brown people uniting to take over the world before 9/11. Afterwards the entire world helped in hunting down the groups that had taken it to a level of terrorism.
It’s always projection from colonist/imperialist types. They can’t imagine social structures beyond oppressive colonial ones, so of course them not being the oppressor automatically makes them the oppressed.
Imperialism is sometimes a two sided event. One wants to be imperialist while the other is already imperialist. America is one of the biggest imperialist on the planet. I wish Europe and Asia wouldn’t be so reliant on them it just screams imperialism without imperialism on the menu.
Imperialism is a one sided relationship, although there are of course inter-imperial rivalries. The US empire is the imperialist, its allies, largely former colonial nations themselves, are really nothing more than vassal states.
The heavy reliance of US allies on the US is by design. These nations didn’t have a choice in the matter. That’s one of the primary ways the US has survived so long as such a dominant imperial power. Of course these vassal nations participate in adventurism and neo-colonialism in the global south because they have their material interests to attend to, be those nurturing the relationship with the US, enriching their own capitalist class, or staving off revolt in their own populations.
surely terrorism couldn’t be because of the overthrow of s Democratically elected leftist governments in the Middle East that spawned multiple right-wing theocratic regimes…
No, they’ve been here from well before the Reddit migration. It was just that the activity from Reddit migrants had died down and now you’re seeing more of what Lemmy was beforehand.
You think state actors are targeting lemmy? That seems like an incredibly bad investment. Do you think the troll farms boss would be happy with me posting on here instead of facebook or twitter?
It’s actually far more likely that your opinion (including this hot take right here) has been formed by many an organization or rich dude throwing money at promoting their views in both traditional media and social media. Of course this place here seems out of place to you, you’re the one that has taken the propaganda at face value.
Actually, there is high value in posting where their upvotes matter a lot. That’s why Russia hijacked r/conspiracy - because they didn’t have the numbers to overwhelm some of the bigger subreddits.
A new medium like Lemmy is easy to hijack. And clearly it’s happening. I read a very broad cross section of news, and a lot of the stuff that’s getting upvoted here is simply lame anti—west propaganda.
Reddit is manipulated for sure. I didn’t say it wasn’t.
I said that Lemmy shows all the signs of bullshit propaganda. I think the US has its pros and cons, but I can tell RT like content when I see it.
A small social media platform is easy to manipulate as well. The goal for Russia is to divide the West and anger people. When only 15 upvotes will get something to Top for the day, that’s pretty ripe for abuse.
According to Articles 1 (2), 2 (1) and 74 of the UN Charter, the imposition of unilateral sanctions violates the principles of the Charter, the principle of equality of states, the development of friendly relations and good neighborliness, and consideration of each other’s interests and well-being.
The UN Charter is the foundational document that the UN is built on. UNCLOS is a convention (one that, for what it’s worth, the US never ratified). The PCA is a non-UN body that’s sometimes used as an arbitration mechanism between two parties to avoid conflict.
Do you have any grasp on international law, or do you just enjoy whataboutism?
The article was a little confusing, he was a high ranking member but never the leader. Tirofijo was the leader from the late 60s until 2008. Alfonso Cano led for a few years before he was killed in a raid. He was also a hardliner, peace would have been unlikely.
This is not a super surprising move. The last FARC leader Timochenko is free and the president of the successor political party, I’m sure the US would prefer he and others were also in a US prison instead of Colombian politics. They seem to be doing a good job of reintegrating, at least from the outside. There are dissidents that continue to fight, but in much smaller numbers.
They did. The headline using “despite” is somewhat confusing and makes it sound like the sanctions were simply ignored. TT advocated with US leaders and petitioned for a waiver, which was granted.
It is an opinion piece against the sanctions, because they make everything slow even with the license and any access can be modified at the whims of the US.
Not exactly sure on his exact wording but Ledezma, a lawyer, called for deaths and confrontation between Venezuelans. Whatever his angle was, it seems to have backfired.
Found more details on it for you, according to euro.eseuro.com “an arrest warrant against the former metropolitan mayor, Antonio Ledezma currently in exile, as well as his extradition from Spain.
The measure announced on August 21 by Saab, in a speech broadcast on VTV, obeys statements made by Ledezma during an interview with journalist Patricia Poleo in which he stated that the only way to register Maria Corina Machado as a presidential candidate it was “setting civil disobedience in motion.”
He even mentioned that he talks with the military without revealing names, but he clarified that it was not a matter of conspiracy.”
But you’re right, weird it wasn’t referenced. I’d assume the article’s intention was to tell folks in the loop the latest development as it’s an intricate storyline.
