400 mil - I guess every little bit helps …

I mean…not invading Ukraine would’ve assured Russias survival but that’s not good enough for the scrotum with eyes

Weird place to put a monitor station, could have chosen a much prettier place like Saturn or Jupiter, the view of the rings there is awesome.

what is this nonsensical strawman, he said for Israeli settlements. 3 people in a row intentionally misconstruing his statement, is this a raid?

and he's right. find one (1) palestinian home that was bulldozed to make way for an israeli settlement.

because it doesn't exist; forget Israel's justifications, you think settlements and arab cities? that destroying palestinian homes will somehow 'make room' for the settlers? lol. No Jew is building homes in Nablus, you can be sure of that. Palestine has already ethnically cleansed all of its Jews well before Israel took the WB in '67, and no one wants them for a neighbour again.

That would require Putin to actually care about the future of his country over his blurb in future history books.

I think they’re just being realistic. People feel good about their leaders virtue signaling by sanctioning Russia, but it’s just a slap on the wrist. They’re still doing the same thing they were doing a year ago, with or without sanctions. Supplying Ukraine with weapons likely goes a bit further to aid things, but we’re still handing out guns, one year later.

Up next; can Russia survive Putin? Stay tuned to find out.

I wonder how long it'll be until he unironically says "We have always been at war with NATO"

Wow those skeeving conniving Palestinians purposely wanting to lose their homes and possessions to make people feel bad for them!

so France is still looking for someone to surrender to. But that far away ?

We’d have to sanction the countries that are supplying Russia, which probably also supply the rest of the world, so we hit an invisible wall. Sanctions are just virtue signaling.

the fact that they allowed themselves to be kidnapped by a lunatic will make them a pariah nation for generations. If that does not happen, it's a signal for others to claim : " but , we did not know , he lied to us, we innocent "

Piano wire holds more weight than tape.

Ahh Swiss banks and embezzled money name a better combo

Hey, don’t forget the benefit of having our world leaders signal virtues! They’ll get re-elected for sure! And all without actually having to do anything that would have realistically prevented a full year of needless deaths.

This is the mature, relevant participation in the international dialogue that the mainland is absolutely devoid of. I’m glad that in Taiwan, Chinese people are free to be activists.

A battle for putins survival, more like.

Now sanction France and belgium

Mexican here, this is the context: Plan B arose as a whim of the President after the failure to pass the Electoral Reform which was intended to make the Electoral Institute, broadly speaking, less autonomous and that the government could be more involved in it.

The government claims that the intention of the reform is to "spend less" because "in the neoliberal period, a lot was spent and politicians were served as if they were kings" which is misleading, the government has even provided comparisons with other Electoral Institutes around the world but it is misleading since our electoral institute not only counts votes, but it is also in charge of giving official identifications when you are in legal age in México (credential which you can vote with it) and it is also the autonomous institute that judges electoral crimes.

Among all the things proposed in the reform there is only one good thing: to give less money to political parties (a lot of money is allocated from the treasury since there are about 8 different Mexican political parties, and frankly, it's silly to give money to all of them when only 2 or 3 are popular in every election), however, this is the fallacious argument used by the government and through their bots in social networks: "Are you opposed to the reform? It is because you are classist, you oppose that politicians stop receiving money, surely some relative of yours benefits from this", when in fact we criticize more aspects of such reform, not only that particular aspect.
