On June 29, 2023, a briefing on arms supplies to Ukraine was held at the UN Security Council at Russia’s initiative. The civil society briefers Russia invited included journalists Max Blumenthal (USA) and Chay Bowes (Ireland).

They provided facts about the Kiev regime using Western weapons to deliver strikes at civilian facilities in Donetsk and to send subversive groups into the Belgorod Region. They supplied evidence that billions of US taxpayer dollars have been invested in the corrupt schemes of fuelling a war against Russia in which Ukrainians are being used as a tool. They concluded that the Western elites and defence industries were the only ones to benefit from the escalation of the conflict.

Oh no, not journalists providing information at a public briefing! Don’t they know it’s time to do baby’s first McCarthyism!?

Car sales on the RF are up something like 50% over last year and last year had relatively normal numbers.

The RF’s central bankers keep trying to tank their economy but it isn’t working because of all the direct investment required to offset sanctions. They are maxing out debt costs, basically, trying the neoliberal “fighting inflation” strategy that does the exact opposite most of the time. It makes them precarious economically despite how well they’re doing but for a very different reason than “sanctions are working”. If they kicked out their neoliberals it would be smooth sailing.

Will do!

Right you accuse those that correct you of being paid Chinese agents. This is correctly understood as a racist response.

Hey look the person that refuses to read and makes racist comments is calling others fake lefties.

Typical sinophobe response

While I don’t want to reveal my academic background, I can say that in my work Chinese papers were just as good as if not better than those of other counteies. And to me seemed to be less focused on creating academic cliques.

Yes thank you for adding this!

UNRWA is the primary mechanism by which Gaza receives aid and runs its own institutions. It is a thorn in Israel’s side because they want control over all of that as well and are pissed that Gazans can direct resources where they want.

???

Do you think the average US citizen can have the impact of Operation True Promise 2, let alone the entire state apparatus that carried it out?

Or do you mean that you are comparing Israel’s threat to US citizens vs. Iran’s?

Very confused.

Betrayal narrative incoming.

How’s AUKUS coming along?

It is more likely that the Western half of Ukraine will collapse and be occupied by Poland than it ever joining NATO.

Israel is the greatest exporter of antisemitism on the planet, beginning with their foundational myth of conflating Judaism with ethnic supremaciat settler Colonial apartheid. Can’t think of anything more antisemitic than, “to be Jewish is to steal land and oppress everyone that gets in their way”.

Israelis broke that rapist of prisoners out of jail and paraded him around on TV. They prevented him from facing consequences because they believe Palestinians are that much lesser, that their suffering does not matter, and no too great of crime can be done against them.

When the Zionist forces ramp up violence, Bibi’s ratings increased. When they bombed Lebanon, targeting hospitals, Bibi’s ratings increased. Their marches in the streets are not to end the genocide, they are to demand the full restoration of their status as ethnic supremacists. To return every hostage, even if that means destroying every hosoital, burning refugee camps.

There are Israelis that have compassion and work against apartheid, but they are an extremely small minority. The vast majority of the country are apartheid ethnic supremacist settler colonists and they are just as racist and crybullying as you would expect. This ideology permeates, they are taught it was children and it is reinforced through school, military service, and mass media.

Watch or read Israeli-targeted Israeli media. They do not put in the show they usually do for the world audience. They are just openly racist.

Such a society can only be addressed through disempowerment. When they lose their power, their ability to oppress per their expectations, when people get their homes back, a substantial portion of settlers will leave the country of their own volition, much like the whites of South Africa, while the others seek to retain as much of apartheid as they can and, if justice orevails, will fail to do so while their children receive a proper education in how genocide is, in fact, wrong.

Won’t someone think of the poor processed snack food company CEOs?

I’m confused about your meaning but:

• Of course Jewish people can be trusted. No room for antisemitism on this topic.
• Basically every Israeli is Zionist unless they actively fight against the existence of Israel itself.
• Zionism is not exclusive to Jewish people. Most Zionists are not Jewish, in fact.

Expansion of NATO to Ukraine, specifically, was the red line. That is not happening any time soon.

Russia having closer ties to China is the US’ nightmare and is a good thing for Russia. I assume yiur “removed” reference is either misogynistic or homophobic language. Nice look.

Yes as in genocide is bad and should be opposed. Something that you would think would be the baseline but clearly is not among mainstream liberals.
