Reply to comment by fartuni4 in Pakistan mosque blast: At least 28 killed after explosion in Peshawar by pstbo
Ah yes. A “democratic” government handpicked by the Pakistan military, whose wannabe fascist leader Imran “Taliban” Khan called global terrorist Osama Bin Laden a “martyr.” The Pakistani military ousted Imran Khan once he fell out of favor with it. Spare us the conspiracy theories always blaming foreign interference. Pakistan has NEVER had a democratic government complete a single term. And that failure is on Pakistan’s rotten institutions, not the U.S.

> The [Israeli] Foreign Ministry announced on Thursday that it was able to cancel a planned demonstration in Sweden in front of the Israeli embassy in Stockholm, which was supposed to include the burning of a Torah scroll. Yet in a conversation with The Jerusalem Post, a Swedish-Israeli rabbi shared that it was actually leadership from the local Swedish Muslim community that assisted in persuading the organizer to cancel the provocative act.
> According to Swedish media, an Egyptian writer who lives in Sweden recently submitted a request for this demonstration to the local police.
> He told DN that he was advised against carrying out his plans by representatives from the Islamic League in Stockholm's mosque, and was quoted saying that “they [the Islamic League] say it is against Islam and I wouldn’t be representing Muslims when burning a copy of the Torah outside the Israeli embassy.”
> According to the report, he was also approached by Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, who asked him to “tone it down.” According to Rabbi HaCohen, a further meeting with the author and Muslim leadership took place, through the mediation of Amanah, in which he decided to cancel the request entirely.
> The 34-year-old explained to DN that he is “tired of his tax money going towards protecting right-wing extremist Rasmus Paludan's repeated Quran burnings,” most recently outside the Turkish embassy. His actions are intended to claim that Swedish law is hypocritical.

Coming to the defense of a sovereign nation against an illegal aggressor is not "the same thing" as supplying arms to an illegal aggressor and assisting them in their murder of civilian populations.

Okie dokie, then. I'm very curious about where they were going to get a Torah scroll from though. Those things are hella expensive - there are rules about it needing to be handwritten on specific materials etc. - it's not like printing a mass-produced book

Reply to comment by wastingvaluelesstime in US to renew efforts to reduce India's oil, military 'dependency' on Russia by Falls_stuff
Hopes are not reality. It would be nice if Russia lost a war soon. But the reality is Russia can sustain this war for a very very long time, Ukraine cannot. They're not about to lose anything other than their position in the world.

Reply to comment by REOreddit in Haavisto: Finland has patience to wait for Nato membership — with Sweden. by parandroidfinn
Absolutely - at a risk to themselves. Just like how we can help any of our NATO neighbors at a risk to ourselves. Given the current situation (Russian troops being tied in Ukraine) that risk is very small, but it is there.
There are also certain restrictions for access to information systems for non-allied (formally) countries. If Finland has a formal alliance with Sweden, then the opportunities for cooperation and coordination are much greater. There's much less red tape to worry about, and things will in general go much smoother.
Now, if Sweden doesn't want to be in NATO, then that's an entirely different matter. If they do, then I think we should support that in the best way we can. If that means being a "package deal", then I think that's in our best interests.

Not all airports are monitored by Israeli security forces trying to control Palestinians. They wanting their own airports is completely understandable.

Israel has picked sides from day 1. In the first month of the war they already sent over 100 tons of aid.

The airport was built a few years ago. The plan would simply give Palestinians a way to travel they didn't have before. And your excuse is even more lame than their dictator's.
All airports are security checkpoints, much of that prompted by Palestinians' pioneering work in aircraft hijacking.

Reply to Ukraine proposes creating mechanism for auditing US aid for recovery projects by progress18
Blockchain to track every dollar in & out - some of the largest US companies like Walmart have shifted to the 21st century accounting to keep inventory tracked as it passes thru multiple supply chains globally
The pentagon should b forced to update its systems from the 1970/80’s software that leads to them never passing an audit losing trillions not knowing what we own & making 35T dollars in accounting adjustments in 2020 alone - same w our Govt who spends 10’s of billions repairing old floppy disc drives rather than FIXING it but that would mean accountability
