Oh. He wants to hunt to the sheep. He wants to create them, let them loose, and then hunt them.

I was imagining the sheep would be his hunting companion, like he’s a modern day Paul Bunyan with a giant sheep instead of an ox.

Russian men are being inseminated in the military?

“When Beijing says that, on the one hand, that it wants peace, it wants to see an end to the conflict, but on the other hand is allowing its companies to take actions that are actually helping Putin continue the aggression, that doesn’t add up,” Blinken said at a media briefing.

“Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go call for a ceasefire in the Middle East while we continue to supply Israel with weapons.”

Just keep in mind, this is anonymous hearsay by someone on Blinken’s team.

And even if it’s true, they wouldn’t have leaked it to the media without some kind of agenda.

“Is destroying art worse than destroying the whole planet???”

It’s a fair question.

Everyone cares so much about protecting this painting. Why don’t they care as much about protecting the planet? (And the painting isn’t even in any real danger. It’s behind glass.)

The vandalism is practically thought-provoking performance art in itself. It’s probably one of the best pieces in the gallery.

Good for them.

They’re getting media attention for their message. That isn’t easy to do.

Ghettoes were neighbourhood where Jews were forced to live in Nazi Europe, so I’d say that sounds worse.

I want to be buried with cheese too.

The US withdrew from Vietnam in 1975. The UN recognized the PRC over the ROC in 1971.

It was only removed to kiss China’s ass

You are greatly overestimating how much influence mainland China had in 1971.

This “Jill Stein is trying to spoil the election” makes no sense.

Jill Stein did not found the Green Party. If Jill Stein didn’t exist, the Greens would just choose another candidate. The outcome would be the same.

She is not an independent like Bobby Kennedy. Are you suggesting the entire Green Party is made up of Russian plants?

This is the one that matches OP’s map:

You’re misunderstanding the situation.

We’re not asking Kamala to get involved in a foreign war. We’re asking Kamala to end the US’s involvement in a foreign war.

I know it’s confusing, because Biden and Harris keep talking as if they’re doing all they can to stop the fighting. But the truth is, Biden and Harris are the ones providing the weapons.

but shouldn’t we be more worried about the terrorists on our home soil before fighting foreign lands

Probably, which is why Harris should stop giving weapons and billions of dollars of war funding to Israel.

And the worst part is: I STILL don’t know who the bad guy is. Israel? Palestine?

Again, I understand your confusion, because Biden and Harris keep talking about the need to protect Israel. But Israel is the one carrying out a genocide of innocent civilians (with US support).

Time travels

It’s yesterday once more.

uninhabited rocks in the middle of the sea

Well, part of the issue is that they technically aren’t uninhabited anymore.

The largest naturally occurring island in the area is occupied by the ROC. A grand total of four civilians live there (and 220 troops). It has an airport that occupies the entire length of the island.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taiping_Island

Is four people enough to claim an island? Taiwan seems to think so, and they are a vital US ally.

Also Taiwan is claiming to be China and all that because the PRC wants to keep the status quo.

Taiwan actively asserts its ownership of the South China Sea.

China’s claim is the same as Italy claiming the whole Mediterranean as their own because at some point the Roman empire claimed it

The claims of both the PRC and the ROC are based on their continued and historical use of certain islands in the sea. Vietnam makes the same claim. The tribunal ruled that those islands are too small to count. (Vietnam accepted the ruling. The PRC and the ROC both rejected the ruling.)

The Philippines, Malaysia, and Brunei base their claims to the sea on the concept of an Exclusive Economic Zone, which under international maritime law extends 200 nautical miles from their shores.

most of us can’t really do anything but watch this shit happen.

Join your local Communist party.

MBFC: Least Biased

Lol. Now I see why no one likes Media Bias Fact Check.

100% powerless to stop any of this.

Join your local Communist party.

My examples are proxy wars where the locals retiliated with “terrorism”.

Doesn’t that describe Vietnam?

We’re achieving our goals in Ukraine right now, as we did in all my examples above.

Is your point that the US goes to war to fund the military industrial complex rather than to achieve victory? Because otherwise I’m not understanding your point.

I don’t think any of those conflicts (including Ukraine) went the way the US wanted them to.
