Unfortunately most of the Middle East is run by US puppets, so Hezbollah/Lebanon can expect very little external aid from countries not named Iran. Syria’s current government would also (quite justifiably) rather die than give Hezbollah any support. There’s just not enough juice in Lebanon for a Ukraine. A Vietnam is absolutely possible if they tey to occupy territory though.

I… uh… think the Dutch ruling class is quite used to being on the wrong side of history.

I mean why would they pay taxes if they’re not a money-making enterprise?

That makes a lot more sense.

Uh… Why do you think terms matter for Putin? Though either way he’s popular enough to win a somewhat fair election.

First off, there’s no need to be that combative. Second,

Here’s a hint, look at the first 3 letters of the word “oxidation.”

There’s plenty of oxygen dissolved in water.

But then again there’s only a few countries that do and none of them are superpowers.

Really? Which ones?

Absolutely, 100%. There’s a reason those 17 (???) sanctions packages didn’t hit all at once in February 2022.

That’s like saying “diarrhea and shit, the classic combo.” You can’t be nationalist without being at least a little xenophobic.

Atheist Zionists aren’t any less insufferable, though.

Yeah, and that’s not a nothingburger. Like I said I’m objecting to the focus on school education in Mandarin in thr article, not defending China’s broader treatment of Tibetans.

I’m not defending China’s treatment of Tibetans in general, but a uniform language of instruction is a nothingburger. Not a nothingburger I’m happy about to be clear, but still a nothingburger. Otherwise at least half the world would be engaging in cultural genocide

China’s conduct towards ethnic minorities is pretty bad at times, but this seems pretty lukewarm.

I mean to be fair China is helping Iran with intelligence so these companies are providing an actual military service to Iran. Not to say Trump isn’t being stupid, but this isn’t just about saving face.

“Challenged” in the same way a blind man is visually challenged.

Relevant SCP.

Bluish white.

Which part of “aspiring fascist dictator” implies a respect for the law?

Yeah it’s not like investing in renewables would’ve avoided 75% of the impact or anything.

No, the exact opposite: The EU should encourage the minority of Israelis unhappy with Netanyahu and co to resettle. An Israeli mini-exodus is already ongoing, and encouraging more of that would do more to hurt Israel than shutting Israelis out of most of the developed world. As a plus, an influx of liberal highly educated immigrants is always nice to have. That’s of course different from tourists, which absolutely should be banned from entering the EU
