Mr Yoon has been credited by the US for taking bold steps to overcome historical differences with neighbouring Japan to build up trilateral political and military ties and counter China’s growing regional influence and rising threats from North Korea.
In other words, they have been busy doing nothing helpful to anyone and catering to the status quo, just like Washington LOVES.
But the IDF does not allow an independent investigation so we’re going to have to take israel’s word for it that this was a little oopsie and definitely not a targeted attack on aid workers in Gaza. Israel would never lie right?
most of the aid is rerouted to militants and the leftovers are mostly sold to civilians at exorbitant prices, while the hostages get crumbs.
not giving aid and attacking militant hotspots quicker could’ve ended the situation sooner and would’ve enabled direct giving of aid to civilians. in addition to securing the hostages sooner.
This is why Israel “leaked” info about its “Lavender AI”. The idea was to place the blame for genocide onto something that cannot be held accountable, and defer the humans to the “just following orders” defence.
That I’d be OK with. Or just pocketing the cash and telling their own agents who’s bribing and how.
But this twat might be dumb enough to actually do some dumb shit in return.
Also 20k, are the Russians that broke? The dude so insignificant? Or this just the tip of the money pile?
So, in Germany, does anything happen to this Russia war enabler? Or is it like America where someone just screams “both sides” and “but his tan suit” and all courts and laws get disabled?
My logic says yes but mostly it’s gonna be PR issues. But reality says there won’t be any other consequences because politicians don’t like to oust other politicians and courts don’t wanna get involved with separation of power issues.
My guess is if this blows up enough and the far right can’t simply deny that it happened any more they will distance themselves a bit, perhaps throw him out.
Its just lip service though, the party is in large parts propped up by russia, and the members are all either corrupt shitstains doing the same as the guy who got caught or brainwashed idiots who themselves are the best argument against democracy and equal voices for everyone.
Well, his party is trying to make people forget he’s in there for fear of losing votes. Given that this party is the “presentable” face of the hard right I hope he gets as much media attention as possible.
Not sure anything is going to happen to him personally but he’s a politician and this is corruption so probably not.
We call them “exceptions” here, they’ll kick him out and say everyone else of the AfD is not like that. People will believe it and keep voting for them even harder because now. It’s a shit show.
Before Ukraine Russia funded right-wingers because they were anti-EU. Some of them were quite open about it. I don’t think anything has changed. Money just takes a longer route and people keep quiet about it.
