Imperalist russia has s long history of murder and colonization of its neighboring countries. It’s completely appropriate and justified for then to join a defensive alliance. russia has no one to blame for this but themselves.

Tbh, I’m still mad at Sumeria

Not always.

Yeah, I generally agree with you. Just seems unfair that China gets to reap the rewards for the efforts of people working elsewhere. The fact that billionaires just pocket all the rewards anyway makes that point a bit moot.

Yeah, I’m with you on this. China has been a much more responsible member of the international community than the US. I strongly disagree with what China is doing with regard to Taiwan, the South China Sea, and suppression of free expression, but otherwise they’re the lesser of two evils.

Sure helps when you just steal the technology. Seems to be a theme over there… https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/dram/cxmt-planned-to-use-stolen-samsung-ip-to-develop-its-dram-court-hears-former-samsung-engineer-who-jumped-to-chinese-memory-maker-now-behind-bars

I guess that makes sense, but he used that same army against the people of Syria, so I’m not sure how great of a thing that is.

It would be great if the terrorist state if israel didn’t create the need for such complicated powers.

This is a rare long post on Lemmy actually worth reading and illustrates the complexity of middle east dynamics correctly.

I can’t believe you’re actually supporting Assad, who has killed countless Syrians and operated an extensive network of truly horrific torture prisons.

What is wrong with you?

I’ve been craving a feature like that. Maybe it’s because I use YouTube Music Desktop, but there’s no damn report button!

Yet YouTube Music is absolutely rife with AI bullshit. So much fake-ass viking, cowboy, or other ‘badass’ AI generated slop.

You are absolutely pathetic and repulsive for supporting the imperialist russian regime. They and their supporters deserve nothing but death for the lives they have cost because they wanted to steal land and enrich themselves.

The fact you’re regurgitating their lies is just sad. Do something better with your life.

Israel intentionally makes the biggest response to even the smallest comment about them. They’re only interested in furthering their fascist takeover of the Levant. Absolute shit country.

Estonians absolutely want and welcome the US presence. It’s a difficult balance because there’s also a huge dickhead in charge of the us right now and it’s impossible to ignore israeli atrocities. Kaja Kallas is a former leader of Estonia and is in hot water with israel right now for calling them out.

Despite what tankies try to say, russian imperialism was and is a horrific experience and is not something they are willing to repeat. Basically every single family in Estonia lost family because russians are barbaric monsters.

Can we convince trump to go in there and get it with his bare hands because he’s the best at everything and would do it better than anyone has before?

Yeah, would be nice, but they are fighting for their survival and russia should have never put them in this position to require this. I can’t imagine a situation where Ukraine would have come up with these if not out of necessity.

Same reason I can’t fault iran for lashing out at non-military targets because the US is illegally attacking them.

Russia needs to get the fuck out of Ukraine

For 40 years, china required 50% Chinese ownership of foreign automakers who wanted to sell in China, technology transfer requirements, and other restrictions. It’s only very recently that these restrictions have been eased. Combined with their decades of currency manipulation and other protectionist limitations, I don’t think it’s fair for them to expect unfettered access to other markets.

I actually like and admire a lot about China, but this just seems hypocritical.

Are you familiar with Chinese restrictions on their domestic market? Why do they think they deserve unrestricted access to the US and other markets when they do not extend that same privilege to their own market?

To be fair, there is someone who 100% deserves to be shot
