Well, you can really zoom in on the individual, and decide. But if the person is in the military, or completely on the Russian government’s dime, they are spokespeople for that government. That government is not welcome, by extension the athlestes are not welcome. The olympics should not be a platform for idols of the russian federation to gain a platform.
Yes, the Kurds are pumping up the oil and using it to fund their military machine. Hence the strained relationship with Turkey… They really dislike Kurds.
The US denies oil revenue to a crazy dictator selling it to fund his crazy antics and prevents Russian proxies from capturing the fields to fund their crazy antics all with minimal troops.
It’s not as if the alternative would be that the oil revenue is used to buy happyness, health and prosperity for the Syrian people.
Or, how the government failed the people by allowing healthcare to be an unregulated for profit market.
It is perfectly fine for commercial entities to be present there. The conversation should be on acceptable profits and transparency in costs.
Situations occur where for example a knee operation always earns the clinic the same, private clinics wil only do the simple ones and make a killing while referring complicated cases to hospitals that take a loss on the procedure.
I personally really disliked the latest Far cry. Graphics where nice, story was ok-ish but the outlandish aspects of the gameplay (supremo’s… pets…) made it a snoozefest without any challenge. Setting the enemies to bulletsponge made it even more unbearable. I’ll be waiting for the bargain bin for the next installment.
You could watch some Perun videos on the subject. But THE question seems to be what victory looks like. Russia never was explicit on their objectives and what they would call a win.
Even if Ukraine would receive less help, Russia is not going to steamroll a country filled with people that know that losing to Russia means they will be starved, beaten and murdered.
I hope we don’t have to find out, but ita going to be a long and bloody road regardless of outcome.
Natural gas … Gaza. In the mean time less than a million dirt poor Guyanans are sitting on the worlds largest reserve. Getting in on that is way less of an issue for anyone.
You are drawing lines that are not there. Gaza is horrible enough without inventing nonsense around it.
You seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill. Attacking the tone of the message adds nothing.
The “pull yourself up by the bootstraps” view of the world is something most Americans ascribe to. It might not apply to an individual but it definitely describes the group.
Yes years of corporate propaganda made an impact, I hope for them they can be the change they want to see.
