dudebro, in Global hunger shows no sign of reversing

People in the first world need to get their bidets first.

CanadaPlus, (edited ) in Australia and Japan conduct war games in contested waters as China watches closely

I heard the Japanese flagship ended up leaving because it was scared of a plane, though.

/s, but every time the Japanese navy does something that’s what I think of.

mufasio, in G7 countries sign declaration outlining long-term security guarantees for Ukraine

The Group of Seven wealthy nations on Wednesday revealed a long-term security framework for Ukraine, saying it will seek to implement a reform agenda to help provide Kyiv with “the good governance necessary to advance towards its Euro-Atlantic aspirations.”

Move along, no imperialism or neo-colonialism going on here.

lemmyshmemmy,

There is imperialism here: Russia’s violent and genocidal land grab.

polskilumalo, in North Korea fires intercontinental ballistic missile after threatening US
@polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml avatar

The sanctions on the DPRK are enough of a crime and yet the collective west still pushes the country to see how far they can go with bullying them. The sanctions ought to end now, so that the people of the DPRK get access to resources they need most for a better life. But the constant scare mongering just continues, as the small nation struggles for it’s right to exist against the genocidal American regime.

mim,

It’s an absolutist monarchy with communist aesthetics.

No

How is this basically not a monarchy?

But ya, go off king. family dynasties are unique to the DPRK

mim,

Nice whataboutism you got there.

I’m not American, so I that’s not a burn, in case you were trying.

Tell me, were those in power for decades, and then passed on their direct rule to their son without an election?

Did they also create legends about themselves? Really absurd stuff like they don’t need to poop?

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

You clearly have done no research on the DPRK to think that

mim,

So the current guy in charge was not elected in a free election, and is the son of the last guy. And the last guy was the same thing… 🤔

Tell me again what system is this?

bushs, rosevelts, adams, clintons

mim,

Again: not American, that’s not a burn mate.

You’re also comparing a country with a flawed democracy with a country with no democracy at all.

You’re either a retard, a troll, or the dear leader is making you work really hard for those food rations.

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I don’t care if you are American. You’ve fallen for American propaganda.

mim,

You’re literally listing powerful American families and comparing them with a country with an enforced direct lineage from father to son. In case you’re not aware, this is called monarchy.

Tell me: was Biden Obama’s son, and Obama Bush’s son?

The American political system might be highly flawed, but at least they are not sending the family of the ones who dare to leave to prison camps.

And if you say that North Korea does not do that, then you have fallen for North Korean propaganda.

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Monarchy?! Hahahaha, each is elected to a position that in actuality doesn’t have very much power. Elected. Show me where in the DPRK’s constitution it calls for a monarchy. You’ve fall for American conservative propaganda and fall hard

mim,

You are a certified full blown retard, I’m wasting my time arguing with your single neuron.

Awww is baby so sad they don’t have any points to make that they resort to pretending to use inappropriate words?

mim, (edited )

Awww what happened? Did you get out of lemmygrad and realise that people can hurt your feefees on the internet when you support regimes that send people to labour camps? :'(

They may even call you a bad word?! How will you ever be able to deal with that? I bet your life in the US is so hard.

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

I’m sure you’re a very mature person lmao

mim,

Mature enough not to fall for North Korean propaganda.

Enjoy your time outside of lemmygrad posting ignorant takes from the comfort of your home in the US.

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Dude, you have the maturity level of a 10 year old. Once you see you have no evidence besides delusion you decide to pretend to cuss.

mim, (edited )

Evidence?

You presented nothing besides pointing to the North Korean constitution and believing what is written there. You also believe that the D in DPRK actually means they are democratic, and that somehow power passing from father to son without any election is normal and acceptable. Except if countries without a communist aesthetic do it, then it’s a monarchy.

Just admit it, you are an American Gen Z LARPing as a revolutionary. It’s easy to talk when you never had to live in a 3rd world country under an authoritarian ruler.

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Do you not know what the burden of proof is?

mim,

I do.

My source is all the UN reports on human rights abuses.

What’s yours? The Pyongyang Times?

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Please provide a reliable source as with you making these claims, you have provided absolutely zero sources, reliable or non-reliable even though you initially made a libelous claim

mim,

Are UN reports not reliable enough for you?

Do you want me to Google search them for you?

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Why are you mentioning UN reports now? You haven’t used them to show any proof

mim,

Why would that matter?

Are you going to refute the UN reports? Go ahead. I need some entertainment.

rjs001,
@rjs001@lemmygrad.ml avatar

Why are you mentioning UN reports? You haven’t shown any that back your ludicrous claims

Ok, it seems I got the tankie bot stuck in a loop.

You’re not entertaining anymore.

When you take into consideration that Sarkozy took money from Gaddafi to run its second presidential campaign who was, allegedly, using that as leverage against him, maybe not so incomprehensible after all

bernieecclestoned, in EU looks to take lead in metaverse world, avoid Big Tech dominance

So big tech invests billions, and the EU is going to take the lead how exactly?

The scheme includes bringing together creators, media companies and others to create an industrial ecosystem, setting up regulatory sandboxes to help companies test out the metaverse and rolling out skills development programmes as well virtual public services.

Meh

RandAlThor,

They want to carve out a piece of the metaverse for European companies is basically the message. We’ve learned in the past 30 years that large firms dominate different aspects of tech space. Take a look at what they’ve done in aircraft manufacturing - they’ve elbowed into the space that Americans were dominating. Now there’s just 2 - Boeing and Airbus which is theirs. They are going to seek to replicate that, learning from the mistakes in tech in the past.

bernieecclestoned,

Boeing and Airbus bought up every competitor to create a duopoly, and Boeing’s 737 MAX issues have hurt them recently

I just don’t see how the EU regulating the metaverse will result in a competitive advantage over the billions that Meta for e.g. have invested in their headsets and software

RandAlThor,

They bought up the small ones because they were failing. That industry requires huge economies of scale and the smaller ones couldn’t cope. EU created Airbus out of the scrap pieces of dying European aircraft manufacturers and injected capital into it and gave it a captive market. In metaverse they are starting to behave this way - currently Threads isn’t allowed to operate in Europe. They are going to create regulatory barriers around it. Allow European alternatives to grow - i.e. Mastodon, etc. And provide any kind of support - regulatory, capital, incentives, etc. European governments have used their might to create industry giants so that their countries remain relevant and that wealth creation and innovation remains rooted in their countries. It will be the same in this case.

bernieecclestoned,

Unless they lose more court cases because their subsidies break WTO rules…

ustr.gov/…/us-wins-75-billion-award-airbus

What’s stopped EU tech companies previously? I can’t think of any European tech companies other than OnlyFans lol

RandAlThor,

Well that’s just IT. They don’t have a significant presence in the tech space and they are trying to create barriers to develop home grown companies. (To answer your question SAP and some anti-virus companies top of my head but there isn’t a lot.)

bernieecclestoned,

Creating barriers isn’t a great way to go about it. Protectionist efforts just get returned with tit for tat exchanges in the exact same way that has happened with aerospace.

zephyreks,

Not for Canada. Bombardier couldn’t do shit as Boeing filed a case with the DOJ and bled Bombardier dry for… Well, no reason, really.

We still can’t do anything to Boeing or the US about it.

bernieecclestoned,

Bombardier sold to Airbus?

And the EU did do something about it, for 17 years

www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-54877337

zephyreks,

Bombardier sold their commercial aviation industry (aka the CSeries). Now they’re only focused on private jets.

bernieecclestoned,

Which they sold to Airbus, which is why Boeing went for them I guess.

zephyreks,

Boeing didn’t want competition in the US domestic market. They thought they could squeeze out Bombardier, but weren’t expecting that to come around and have the A220 get sold to Airbus (who are now doing really well with the A220, since the A220 is legitimately a really nice plane).

Tilted, in As NATO meets on Ukraine, Russian officials fire warnings at West

Endless warnings with no meaningful actions to de-escalate.

knfrmity,

The reality of the situation is quite different.

Potatofish,

Wut

knfrmity,

Russian officials have been making very clear demands in terms of international relations for two decades. Russia has been calling for a return to the Minsk II ceasefire agreement, and before that calling for the agreement to be followed by all signatories. As the byline of this article notes, Russia has long opposed Ukrainian membership in NATO, and for well communicated reasons. They were even promised a generation ago that NATO would expand no further eastward than the former DDR, in response to their security and economic concerns.

fuser, in Biden Defends Decision to Send Cluster Bombs to Ukraine
@fuser@quex.cc avatar

Speaking to CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria on Friday, President Biden said he needed to send cluster bombs because Ukraine and the US are running out of ammunition. “This is a war relating to munitions. And they’re running out of that ammunition, and we’re low on it,” he said.


the FY2023 presidential budget request was $842 billion en.wikipedia.org/…/Military_budget_of_the_United_…

not enough for ammo, apparently.

Landrin201,
@Landrin201@lemmy.ml avatar

The pentagon would not survive an audit. It’s unfathomable that with $800 billion they can’t afford to replenish ammunition supplies.
