Very unserious understanding of world politics.

Of course they’re viewed more positively in middle income than high income countries. The high income countries are all part of a global military alliance focused entirely on destroying communism and have fed their populations anti-communist propaganda for decades.

They’re one the main geopolitical adversaries of the political block that all the rich countries have formed, whereas they are investing in and helping develop poorer countries.

It is an absolute laugh though that all the countries that destroyed the Middle East over the last 30 years think China is a threat to world peace.

Why is it necessary to cancel all consular services for Ukrainian men if they’re so eager to fight? Are you sure the bloodlust and desire for battle you’re perceiving isn’t your own?

OK, so China has looked out for its own interests and created an economic advantage for a fraction of its own population.

If lifting hundreds of millions of your poorest into the middle class is just naked self interest, why are Western countries so unwilling to do it? Are they stupid?

The modern American fascist is too soft to hear dissenting opinions.

Typical

As someone who wants the end of Western hegemony I have to say: do it

Oh yeah, I knew about that part but I think I assumed the defederation would stop all visibility in both directions, and I guess they can see us but are hiding from us, like, as you say, cowards.

Could a told you that 2 years ago when Boris Johnson sabotaged the peace talks so his masters in DC could benefit from Russia remaining at war.

EDIT: I guess I don’t understand completely Lemmy, because some lib is calling me a Russian troll under this comment and I can’t see it unless I go to the original/non-hexbear post.

Well American civilization has been deliberately constructed to require cars for survival outside a number of cities you can count on one hand and cars from US manufacturers are getting so expensive that even used cars are becoming unaffordable to large and growing segments of the population, so I don’t know that I care that Ford’s bottom line will be impacted.

Sure, as long as the US permits them to accept a ceasefire.

Probably just the anglo intelligence assets that pass for moderators over there removed all the cool comments. What can you do

This poor boy. A child should never experience this kind of trauma.

This genocide will be a stain on humanity for eternity. Anyone supporting Israel should be ashamed of themselves. This is what they support.

Really makes Boris Johnson sabotaging those earlier peace talks look like it’s responsible for a bunch of death and destruction and nothing else huh.

If you’re concerned about talking heads putting a spin on something, maybe you’d like to see some on the ground reporting from within southern Gaza?

Warning, I guess, it’s CGTN, but the reporter is in front of a hospital in Gaza and discusses what she’s seeing (and you see with your own eyes) for about 10 minutes.

Wait, so your ideal is instead of negotiations, in the same vein as Afghanistan, Ukraine experiences this horrible war for another 9 years and then becomes a state ruled by the fighters involved in the war with the most extremist far right ideology rule it as a theocracy? To be clear that ideology in this case is Nazism.

You don’t sound like an ally of the Ukrainian people.

Cannot wait to see how well this comment ages. All the Hexabear stuff is just comedy gold in the long run. Thank you for spending your life force creating it.

Can’t imagine thinking commentary, wrong or right, about brutal trench warfare, could be comedy gold.

The edit was to edit the number of people Iranian police killed during the Jina Ahmini protests

Nah, you’re lying. I do specifically remember you comparing official execution numbers of Iran, Saudi Arabia and America (~600, ~100, and 18, respectively) to try to make it sound like the US was less murderous. I don’t know why you’re doing this but you’re being dishonest in a way that both paints the US to look less violent than it’s foreign enemies (and it’s allies too, as long as their foreign enough. They’re certainly not as bad as Iran though, right?) and then obfuscates the fact that you’re doing that and I don’t know why a multiple year old Hexbear account would do that but I do remember the general thrust of the original comment.

EDIT: actually I was wrong, we can confirm that you’re lying, look at this quote from GarbageShoot’s response to you

For instance: In 2022, Iran had minimum 596 executions (likely more), Saudi Arabia had 146, the US had 18,

Well you edited your original response right after seeing this but your original comment talked about how the US only killed 18 people last year but these foreign countries in the middle east were more violent and killed hundreds, and how, even if you include police brutality this still “stands true.”

It’s hard for me to include your exact words since you took steps to obscure them but I think if you’re honest with yourself you can admit you were downplaying the violence committed by the US on its populace relative to Iran.
