You’re right. They should let a warmongering group point their missiles at them without recourse. If you ignore it, they will go away. Right?

No you see they haven’t announced they are at war. They are there on a peace keeping mission. Those are bombs of peace

Though given western aggression, I can’t say I blame them tbh. It’s how the DPRK has avoided being invaded by the west. I just wish American and all its puppets would would fuck right off and stop starting shit just to keep its shareholders happy.

Because at the end of the day, it’s some guy who needs to earn a living being told to kill some other guy who needs to earn a living, just so some rich removed can keep control over a bunch of people who are just trying to earn a living.

I mean, if a government keeps saying we need more guns in schools to prevent school shootings, are you surprised that they are also saying this?

I’m glad you’re here doing Mao’s work. Otherwise the “pro-empire” folks would have an uninhibited platform.

They could also stop abstaining from votes pertaining to Palestinian statehood. Start expanding our options for trade, be more aggressive with the “rule of law” with regards to our trade relations with the US.

There’s a lot more that can be done than supplying the weapons and funding used to kill Palestinians. In fact doing nothing would be better

Obviously. To minimize the effect of what little say citizens have, you make it as difficult as possible to vote.

Given that the existence of the US as it is (i.e. 5 companies in a trench coat) is completely dependent upon continued neo colonialism, I’m surprised it took this long to auto-enroll citizens for the draft

Decrease civilian crime in favour of state crime. Woo.

I think it would be wise for them to open state distribution outlets. Have the cops seize drugs, then resell it at a discount. It would help pay for the cost of policing and increase the GDP!

I think you are right (erasing culture is part of a genocide). But why target scientists specifically? To boycott, divest, and sanction (BDS) a country committing genocide, you target what you can. A university can divest from Israeli companies, and boycott their universities through the cancelling of visiting academics, joint research projects, etc. beyond that the university has little direct action they can take.

Why would you believe this? First you would have to answer why the scientists are being shunned. Then, is this the same problem in these other countries? Then you have to ask why would it be a bad thing for them to work elsewhere? What about the countless good scientists in the west who are unemployed? Why not be worried about them going to other countries?

I suspect you aren’t involved in science at all. The default is that scientists travel between countries for opportunities. There are far more scientists than jobs for them, especially when you consider the scientists trained in very specific fields. To be concerned with the shunning of a specific nationality of scientists ignore why they may be shunned. And to be concerned with where this specific group will then go, is low-key racist.

When you consider Purchasing power, Russia is fourth.

Where are you getting this information? Anything I’ve heard , even from fairly typical western sources, say Ukraine is not doing great and that Russia (given that it’s the world’s 4th largest economy) is clearly the victor.

It absolutely sucks that Ukraine was invaded. But this is what happens with war. The alternative is to continue dying, as they really don’t stand a chance with the Milk toast support from the west.

I hope they have a reasonable counter offer so that the innocent civilians can stop suffering, or they accept defeat.

It’s good when you can see the bias buddy. Because there always is one. If they present themselves as unbiased, well they are biased but they’re hiding it.

I wouldn’t mind either for those in power tbh. Though I think in some cases we should at least give the American dictators a chance to be re-educated and become productive members of society.

Ohh good. I was wondering when the US would realize simply surrounding China with military bases wouldn’t be enough.

I don’t know why I find this so funny. Like, human rights abuses are awful. It’s probably hitting me right in what remains of my learned western superiority complex.

As someone of Irish descent, I’m so happy I’m considered white now.

Beautiful! The same tactics women used to get the right to vote.
