The three day victory bullshit story is so boring, you guys repeat it ad nauseum. Get better talking points.

And it’s so funny since it was the US/ Nato that mentioned the three day bullshit story. There’s not one record of Putin or any Russian official even saying such a thing.

Lmao you guys are pathetic

stmcld ,

Exactly that. They’re achieving their goal by careful and thorough advancement.

The priority is liberating the Russian part of the Ukraine from the Zelensky dictatorship and his neo nazis. Why would Russia want to occupy western Ukraine? It will just be a nazi filled mess to govern and be targeted. That’s how i see it. I’m sure I’m way off on certain things lol.

But these losers will say that Russia is losing because they can’t make it to Kiev, or some such nonsense.

I hope they supply Ansar Allah and Lebanon, Iran and Syria

Not being a suckup, but I’ve never seen a .ml mod or admin ever be a MBFC apologist. in fact i’ve seen the opposite; a .ml mod or admin saying why using MBFC is meaningless. So maybe the reason they are giving you is legit?

On the other hand, I’ve seen multiple mods on .world worship MBFC as the holy grail 🤮

Although i also agree with what [email protected] said

Why does the telegraph get away with such shit articles and non articles. This isn’t the first time an article from the telegram was posted here which was terrible at either conveying the correct information or just straight out non factual rumours

stmcld ,

Fuck Marcos, he’s been terrible for the Philippines

Watchdogs 1 was the best for me, miss playing that game

stmcld ,

Swak. And sad :(

stmcld ,

Nice. I hope the DPRK can bypass more of the US imposed sanctions to improve everyone’s lives there.

stmcld ,

I wish the US could get kicked out of southern Africa too. I think they have a base in Botswana

The sheer fucking arrogant entitlement of this woman.

“I’m not doing this for you, I’m doing this for me.” As one of the men are telling her she’s destroying private property.

Can confirm. Prices of decent houses in Cape Town are fucking ridiculous, not even to mention the absurd prices for tiny flats.

stmcld ,

Very true, it seemed like bad faith arguments. But I’ve learnt quite a lot from the answers to that user’s asinine questions, and I’m sure I’m not the only one

stmcld ,

I’m pretty sure the diplomatic solution is for israel to stop it’s genocide of the Palestinians, and for the US and the others to stop being complicit in israel’s genocide.

I mean, the Yemeni’s were pretty clear from the outset about this.

stmcld ,

I must be honest, whenever i hear people from the US say/chant ‘vote blue no matter who’, they genuinely sounds like cultists to me.

stmcld , (edited )

So the ceasefire is only for two weeks. No wonder the US abstained.

Edit: the ceasefire is for the rest of Ramadan, the rest of Ramadan is about two weeks.

stmcld ,

Absolutely not. That’s why when i heard the US abstained i had to double check why, and predictably it was because of the length of the ceasefire.

Also, demanding the change of language from ‘permanent’ ceasefire to ‘sustained’ ceasefire was scummy and probably also part of the reason why they abstained and let the vote pass.

stmcld ,

Oh, i think i see what you mean? Yes, the fact that it does count as an actual ceasefire is a good thing.

Sorry if I’m not understanding, english isn’t my first language.

stmcld ,

Ah i see what you mean, thanks for the clarification. Yes, i agree with you there on why they voted the way they did.

Democracies under threat around the globe (www.dw.com)

The hard facts are sobering: According to a new study, the quality of democracy has deteriorated over the past 20 years in 137 countries that are considered developing or emerging economies. According to the Bertelsmann Foundation’s “Transformation Index,” there are now 63 democracies compared to 74 autocracies. In other...

stmcld ,

This, in my opinion, is the biggest problem. Neoliberalism, unchecked corporate capitialism is the main threat to democracy.

It might sound like hyperbole to some people but i also really feel like it is putting the whole of humanity in danger. With the unchecked plundering of resources around the whole world, and the destruction of ecosystems just for more profits for the ruling class.

stmcld ,

lmao he has to be an imperialist shill right? I can’t believe that someone would be that clueless, and still be insistent on staying that clueless after being spoonfed multiple public sources

stmcld ,

Then why are you reading and commenting on this post?

stmcld ,

Then the news is probably not as boring as you claim because it caught your interest enough to read and comment, and reply

Norwegian salmon farms gobble up fish that could feed millions in Africa: Report (news.mongabay.com)

Norwegian salmon farms are taking huge amounts of wild fish from West Africa, mining the food security of the region, according to a report from the U.K.-based NGO Feedback.

These european countries steal everything else from african countries, so I’m honestly not surprised that they’re stealing our food as well.

stmcld ,

We live in the suburbs a bit away from the city centre. The stink was god awful in the city itself. But i remember when we woke up that day, opened the door and was smelling something strange. We were so confused lol, at first we thought it was just the sea air but there was an underlying stench that didn’t belong.

So getting to the city a few of us said we’re working from home and left. Bosses didn’t deny or penalise us.

We all thought it was a sewerage problem until they cleared up what was the cause.

He was a baby, a baby starved to death because of Israel’s genocide.

Let them do it, use the frozen Russian assets. I’m sure Russia knows that they won’t be seeing that money again.

Let the western financial system finally fucking collapse.

stmcld ,

This is africanews.com where the focus is on Africa. As in South Africa. As in SA.

The title of the article uses SA for South Africa, so I’m sure they have enough respect for their readers to distinguish between Saudi Arabia and South Africa when reading an article from africanews.com

stmcld ,

But Melkath never even mentioned jews. He specifically said Israelis throughout his post. And he pretty clearly compared the Israeli people to nazis, not what you said, which was comparing jewish people to nazis.

It feels like you’re doing exactly what the German government is doing, which is equating criticism of Israelis and of Israel to antisemitism.

U.S. racks up munitions costs in indefinite fight against Houthis (www.washingtontimes.com)

Those strikes come with a significant price tag. In some cases, U.S. forces have used Tomahawk missiles, which can cost about $2 million each. But even beyond the costs themselves, analysts warn that the U.S. is quickly depleting its weapons stockpiles, which were already running thin after years of military support for Ukraine...

stmcld ,

Yes, and now you know why most of the world’s inhabitants hate the USA

stmcld ,

Fucking thank you. When i tried to say that this current war had some historical context of US/nato meddling, i was called a tankie.

I don’t even care for or support either side, i simply said it has a historical context, the same as the 7 october attacks in Israel had a historical context.

stmcld , (edited )

Thanks, being called a tankie didn’t bother me. It just took me by surprise because i wasn’t even saying anything untrue.

Honestly I’m learning more from hexbear and lemmygrad than lemmy.world, amongst others. I had a vague idea about the geopolitics and history of certain areas but the posts and discussions on there really shed a lot of light on that. And a lot is freely available information if you want to search for it. On the other instance they’ll rather spit venom at each other than exchange information.

Ok, not everyone is bad on lemmy.world, but I’ve come across the most hateful, asinine users there.

stmcld ,

No, you can’t give context. China bad! /s

On a serious note, reading a while back about what happened during the opium wars was horrendous. And also finding out that South Korea was governed by murderous fascists until very fairly recently, while the US was supporting the South Korean regime was also an eye opener to me.

stmcld ,

Yes, you’re right, the US has shut down so much positive change in the middle east. It seems like the other day that i read about how the US effectively destroyed the democratic Iranian government, and installed a puppet religious fundamental government.

I suppose it makes sense for the US to impose a fundamentalist government, they just want the middle east to be like themselves

stmcld , (edited )

Well, for weeks before the Houthis said that the reason for the blockade is Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza. And that once Israel ceases their attacks on Gaza they would end the blockade.

Instead of using their political leverage to get Israel to stop their bombing, and thereby ensuring the end of the Houthi blockade, the US is instead attacking the Houthis and providing even more cover to Israel to continue it’s genocide.

But yes, of course the US and allies would value the delays of shipments and providing genocide cover for Israel more than stopping an ongoing genocide against Palestinians

And yes, it’s a major worldwide shipment route. So why does the US not use their political capital to stop Israel and thereby the blockade instead of attacking the Houthis on their own territory and greatly exacerbating tensions in the region.

That is why i said that there is a disconnect in what the US says and what it does. It has a diplomatic route to take but instead starts warring. And no, saying that the Houthis should just stop the blockade without Israel stopping it’s genocide is not a valid diplomatic route.

So that begs the question if the US is truly concerned with the blockade of a major shipping route or if they’re simply providing cover for Israel to continue bombing Gaza and terrorising the West Bank.

Replying from my alt account

stmcld ,

South Africa places Israel’s actions since October 7 in the context of a history of “apartheid, expulsion, ethnic cleansing, annexation, occupation, discrimination, and the ongoing denial of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination” … “during its 75-year-long apartheid, its 56-year-long belligerent occupation of Palestinian territory and its 16-year-long blockade of Gaza.” Notably, South Africa points out that Israel has been carrying out extreme violence against Palestinians even before Hamas’s actions on October 7 (which it unequivocally condemns but notes cannot justify genocide).

africasacountry.com/…/understanding-south-africas…

stmcld ,

And yet people will argue that the US is being charitable and concerned about a justified ( in my opinion) blockade of a major shipping route.

stmcld ,

Hehe yep

Edit: and i just realised i posted this from my other account and not my dbzer0 account lol. But point still stands

stmcld ,

While this is good, i would have hoped that the secretary general would have used much more strong language at this point.

He should have absolutely condemned the mass murder perpetrated by Israel and called for a total ceasefire, not a humanitarian ceasefire.

He could have at least done that much, since not many in power are willing to call what is happening a genocide and ethnic cleansing, even though that is what’s happening.

stmcld ,

Just fyi. Apartheid didn’t end because of peaceful protest.

The ANC had been peacefully opposing the Apartheid government. But that all ended after the Sharpeville massacre commited by the Apartheid government.

Then MK was formed ( uMkhonto we Sizwe). MK was the armed guerilla resistance that Mandela and the ANC saw was needed, because the Apartheid government wasn’t giving in to peaceful opposition of their government.

You’re probably confusing what people say was a ‘peaceful’ end to Apartheid because civil war was avoided.

And it was only truly avoided because the resistance had to make so many unfair concessions to the international liberal powers that be ( imf, the US etc.) and the Apartheid government. Otherwise the Apartheid government was gearing up to actually start mass murdering the non white population (aka genocide).

There truly are a lot of parallels between Apartheid south africa and israel

stmcld ,

Exactly. People don’t want to accept it but i see a lot of parallels between MK and Qassam brigades as liberation armed struggle. When peaceful protest fails then violent opposition is inevitable.
