Problem is, this is not Chinese land. They built a base there in 2016 (Tawain, Vietnam, and the Philippines had bases there for decades already). This does not equate to sovereignty.

Avro Arrow wasn't allowed because it was better than the jets in the US military at the time.

I guessed which one was Forbes based on which of the two women looked most like a religious fuck nugget and I was correct.

IS claiming responsibility, extremism is becoming a major threat in the Sahel.

She increased her vote share in the last Scottish parliament election. Has passed the nomination requirements to be in the running. Sturgeon even appointed her as the finance secretary. She isn't a fringe element.

The article doesn't say it's a minority, it says "the German population is split almost evenly on tank and arms deliveries".

What bothers me more is the 600,000 Germans signing the petition which is "demanding Berlin step up efforts for diplomatic negotiations. “Negotiating does not mean surrendering. Negotiating means making compromises on both sides.."

Elon Musk (is a dick) was saying this and got loads of stick for doing so, as are political members of the far right in the US (who have previously been criticised for being too friendly with Putin).

I don't think there is any reason for backing off one centimetre against Putin's invaders, to let them off in any way is saying it's not so bad invading ex-Soviet countries and committing war crimes against Ukrainians.

Bravo to all the Germans who are for repulsing those invaders in Europe, and Sláva Ukrayíni! Heróiam sláva!

I ashamed that this is the first i’ve heard of this country

Genuine question - what would your opinion be if it was a Chinese navy aircraft 12 miles off the coast of the US?

Most people over here are in favour of sending hardware. Today though there is a big protest of "pacifists" who even joined hands with the far right to get their message across.

They are a minority though and simply refuse to understand that Putin cannot be repelled with "pacifism".

> OUAGADOUGOU, Burkina Faso - The Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for killing more than 70 soldiers, wounding dozens and taking five hostage, in an ambush on a military convoy in northern Burkina Faso.

Without Russia withdrawing, “peace talks” amount to surrender.

After turu-lobe said the above. Everyone went silent.

Doesn't most of the developed world have a labour shortage and falling real wages? Germany are the most developed that also have a big reliance on gas so it makes sense.

She's ahead in the polls.

Kate Forbes is a religious fucknugget and shouldn’t even get a look in

If only you could just know geopolitics nuances.

If you are so knowledgeable, just tell me what were the recent voting in UN assembly, and tell me how they'll fulfill it regarding Russia-Ukraine.

Otherwise it's better not trying to sound cool

What the UN resolution did.

This reads like a WhatsApp message

It has reached "Oh yeah, well I triple dare ya" level...

You seemingly don't understand just how pivotal egocentrism is in modern russian mentality.

Russian widows are not shaken by dead husbands, but by receiving a sausage instead of a lump sum of money as compensation.

Putin will literally send millions of russians armed with just forks in waves at Kyiv and we won't see a russian uprising

Ты просто вообще не понимаешь русских людей

Well, think of it this way. This isn't some academic fact-finding mission. There's intent behind it, especially since this is a Washington official.

>“Up until this point, we don’t have any evidence that U.S. assistance is being misused or misspent but, again, the key is not resting on anybody’s good will or virtue,” Power said in response to a question posed about Ukraine’s history of corruption. “It’s checks and balances, the rule of law, the integrity of officials.”

>Ukraine has struggled with corruption throughout much of its time as an independent country since separating from the Soviet Union in 1991, but Ukrainian officials have taken steps in recent years to institute reforms to limit corruption, most recently under the administration of President Volodymyr Zelensky.

>The USAID leader said Ukraine has seen a strengthening of its institutions fighting corruption since 2014, when then-President Viktor Yanukovych was forced out of office amid widespread protests over his close ties to Russia.

>She also explained that the U.S. Government Accountability Office launched a new initiative to help Ukraine expand its auditing institution, which she said will be needed for the reconstruction of Ukraine.

>...Zelensky removed some officials in his government last month as part of a push against corruption. Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov also shuffled some of his top staff earlier this month over corruption allegations in his department.

This isn't some new article. It's the same parent article.

So to counter "we don’t have any evidence that U.S. assistance is being misused or misspent" with a "doesn't matter if there's no evidence, it's happening!" and an article about a thing that's already addressed in the parent article like it's something new, that's the gotcha.

To grab at points without evidence, that's not "just having a question."

At the end of the day, we're just random posters on a content aggregator site. So get as fired as you want until the next coffee break. lmao

It all started when India abstained from voting in recent UN votes. Where 141 votes to stop Russiad-Ukraine situation, around 30 abstained India one of them.

France was especially mad given India-France relations and asked why India did that. India asked how are you going to stop Russ-Ukr situation with this vigorous voting (cause such voting were going on for a year). Everyone went silent

Canada should turn this into a jobs program. Design and build a tank comparable to the abrams and leopard. Design and build a jet more suited to Canada’s needs (Avro arrow).

And if this goes through it will do what exactly?
