Me: . o O (Why would anyone claim that truth makes the world worse? Oh! It’s someone from Hexbear trying to make the world as shitty as possible. How utterly expected.)
At least it will be free so anyone interested can watch it directly and not get someone else’s biased interpretation
Some people will naturally only want the lazy option, but I think a large number of people from across the political spectrum will watch at least some parts of the trial
Lmao when was the last time the american public watched a presidential debate on its own. There’s a reason you have such a large amount of infotainment that cuts those things down to cute soundbites.
I not talking about boycotts. I’m talking about giving him attention and publicity that he wouldn’t otherwise get. Like live streaming his trial, for example.
They said they weren’t talking about boycotts - as in they are not shaming us for participating in the discussion of this.
They then say

As in that the live streaming of his trial is a bad thing.
They talked about the trial the whole time, you two just misunderstood each other, it’s what happens.
EDIT DISCLAIMER: I really wish this publicity stunt wouldn’t happen at all because it’s likely to get the fascist clown re-elected, but if it’s going to happen, I may as well peek in on it here and there or at least read about it. doomer
I find it interesting how nationalistic machismo handicaps countries on the world stage. Refusing to negotiate and browbeating other countries might play well internally, but it wins you 0 friends to rely on later.
Ukraine has alleged that Russian drones landed on Romanian territory during a series of strikes on a neighbouring Ukrainian city.
Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba told reporters after a news conference in Kyiv that Ukraine had photographic evidence supporting its claim.
Mr Putin said the deal, which Moscow abandoned in July, would not be reinstated until the West met his demands for sanctions to be lifted on Russian agricultural produce.
Since the latest attack, something of a war of words has followed between Ukraine - which insists that one or more drones landed across the river, inside Romania - and the government in Bucharest, which says it didn’t happen.
If a Russian drone did land on Romanian territory, without it being the result of an interception, then this would mark the first time Russia has directly, if accidentally, hit a Nato member state.
The image was published to social media on Monday morning by Oleg Nikolenko, a spokesperson for Ukraine’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The panel rejected claims made by the US ambassador to South Africa that a Russian ship was loaded with ammunition and arms in Cape Town last December.
“The panel found that there was no evidence to support the claim that the ship transported weapons from South Africa destined for Russia,” the president said in a televised address to the nation on Sunday.
A spokesperson for the US embassy in Pretoria said the US appreciated the seriousness with which South Africa had investigated the claims but declined to comment on the report’s contents.
Writing on social media after the meeting, Mr Brigety said he was “grateful for the opportunity to… correct any misimpressions left by my public remarks”.
“None of the persons who made these allegations could provide any evidence to support the claims that had been levelled against our country,” Mr Ramaphosa said following the inquiry’s conclusion.
South Africa has sought to maintain friendly relations with Russia since its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, drawing criticism from the US and other Western nations.

”No permit was issued for the export of arms and no arms were exported."
I'm fairly confident they're playing word games here and if they're found out they'll claim some narrow definition of "arms" (those are bullets, not arms!), or say they only shipped peaceful items from the dual-use lists and it's not their fault if Russia decided to give "military-grade construction helmets" and night-vision goggles and demolition materiel to their troops ....
