I wonder why those Americans were shooting people in a river in the first place. That’s their solution to everything, shoot people. Got a problem? Shoot at it.
I guess that you are joking, and I disagree with their stupid policy, but it’s not really that weird for policies to be different in the border of a country with inter country borders. It’s not a double standard, they are clearly two well defined different standards.
That’s the thing, no? US has laws against immigrants and acts according to those. Now, the dude didn’t follow it’s own laws and yeah we know that they are corrupt and he won’t get shit, but what I’m saying is that laws about interacting with fellow citizens will always be different than laws interaction with external people
Sure but then I don’t get which double standard you were mentioning with this incident and the issue that the rest of the US has with texas.
I’m not defending this fact at all, I genuinely don’t understand why is there a double standard with Mexico-us policies and non texas us-texas policies, they are different laws, double standards exist where reality works differently with how it should happen.
Are you saying that you should be allowed to shoot texas that try to go to anywhere on the US that is not texas? People jump quite fast to aggressive comments as if I was implying that what happened is remotely okay, I just don’t get how your double standards comment makes sense.
It’s worse than that. The shots were fired across the river into Mexican territory. The national guard should know their authority on that type of situation. This was a major fuck up and they are definitely being chewed out for the mountains of paperwork he just created. Stuff like this isn’t easily swept under the rug, especially if our southern neighbor pushes the issue.
So an injured migrant (how did he get injured?) was on the Mexican side of the border. Was approached by a guy on a motorcycle. And the Texas guard decided to shoot the guy? Because, according to the Texas Guard, e was trying to harm the migrant?
So… Obviously made up story to justify what is still an illegal act.
These guys have abandoned all pretense of adhering to the rule of law.
Thats two people under the same command, and the entire command wants to make it go away ASAP so it doesn’t look bad.
Rape is a huge issue in the military, but it’s a lot different when something happens to a foreign national and both countries press catches wind of it.
Sexual assault is a systemic issue in the military mainly due to chain of command. There have been recent pushes to change the process on how it is handled since there have been too many reports of the issue being swept under the rug due to team cohesion. These are two separate issues though and should be approached as such.
So Pope, do you not class defeating a war mongering fascist dictator as protecting human rights, security, and peace? Appeasing dictators doesn’t work as we found out with Hitler AND Putin.
On an unrelated note, the Catholic Church including the Pope almost certainly knew about Preists smuggling Nazis to South America. Just some food for thought.
Now you’re not talking about peace with this nazis, you’re talking about justice. But the Vatican has its own view of justice, which you may not share. Let’s just say it’s completely unrelated to the war in Ukraine.
Does Venezuela have enough electricity to sell? If so, I suppose this is a good thing. More cooperation between neighbours, clean energy, remote communities with (cheaper) access to electricity…
I’m totally opposed to Maduro’s regime, but isolating Venezuela is probably not going to improve the lives of average people there.
It’s a complicated situation because this will improve the lives of people in remote communities while at the same time some (or a lot) of money will end up in politicians’ pockets. Still, hopefully this will be a net positive.
Well, there has been an exodus and I assume a lot of those who stayed can’t afford electronics. I’m gonna guess all this energy has just gone unused.
It’s just so weird how Bolsonara’s supporters use it as an accusation that Lula is turning Brazil into Venezuela. It’s mental. How can people be such dumb mofos?
Not a great situation but cutting ties hasn’t helped either. Perhaps with some commercial incentive there can be some change. Or maybe not. Still though, the Venezuelan government won’t starve without this money and at least hundreds of thousands can benefit from a utility we all take for granted.
