I’m glad to hear it. I guess that the incursion into Kursk made Biden reconsider as Russia’s “red line” has crumbled.

He’s still the pope, of course he’d say this. However, the majority of Indonesians are Muslims. As if the opinion of a Catholic leader would matter much.

Speaking of satellite surveillance, there definitely will be a race to create weapons that could destroy satellites and even create space weapons. This war will be studied in years to come to come up with new weapons; not just take advantage of pre-existing technologies for future warfare.

Colour of the Ukrainian flag.

Ironic isn’t? The victims of fascism are now the fascists.

Same in Ireland. Over ten years of underfunding services and lack of affordable housing and then over time many refugees are coming in, which competes with the already strained infrastructure. Then in the recent local election, the far-right have gained more influence than before. And yet the media narrative has always been about these working class riff raffs giving the Irish bad name; or Russia amplifying discontent in social media. No one mentions that the working class and homeless have been made to compete with immigrants and refugees, through no fault of their own, are coming from regions wrecked by war, corruption and climate change. This has been a boon for the elites-- having more people create demand for artificially-made scare resources to increase the material value. Hotels are paid enormously by the government for taking in refugees and the owners are all too happy to do so.

Then fuck him as well.

Because fuck you if you are tankie apologist.

There are governments that support Palestine, including Spain and Ireland. I guess the latter two are anti-Semite then.

Assuming you’re in UK or Ireland, most of the world still pays for SMS.

He’s just going to say invest in stocks to amplify your income.

Many people change their minds at the last minute before casting their ballots. Polling is science, but not quite so at the same time.

Well, if the communists have ever been democratic. The only communist group that is democratic is the Japanese Communist Party. They get respectable 1 million votes in parliamentary elections and denounce violenc and human rights violations of other communist groups.

Sometimes, putting ships out of action if the damage is so bad that is as good as sinking them. It costs valuable resources, time and manpower to repair heavily damaged ships which can take months if not years. Putting these ships out of action is a force multiplier.

More dynamism, people could give better ideas and less corruption than in more authoritarian countries. In authoritarian countries, everyone is relying on one person. What if that person is incompetent or dies?

I just want to point out that imperialism is not exclusive to democracy. There are absolute monarchies and dictatorships that are imperialistic. Maybe your criticism of democracy as being imperialistic is more about capitalism and drive for exploitation and profit, not at democracy?
