Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It was a “partner nation” aka the bootlicker club.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And Colombia is, like, bootlicker of all bootlickers of US empire.

Now Argentina holds that place, together with Ecuador and Peru, but the biggest bootlicker in south america is still Paraguay.

The president announced a thorough purge of the diplomatic corps and intelligence officers who have sabotaged his foreign policy, particularly his relationship with China. “All the ambassadors — those I call white because they were raised in feudal diplomacy — are leaving.”

He added: “The change in embassy staff in China sabotages relations, changes my schedules, cancels appointments without our knowledge.” He also criticized the intelligence representative in the US and proposed suspending the deployment of officials to that country: “We’re going to replace all those representatives. In fact, I think none of them should go to the United States anymore.”

holy fucking based. finally a leader who remembers how to purge the ranks. fidel-salute

Apparently there are a gaggle of countries that are "Global Partners". Some of these make sense (dogs of the empire such as Australia and Japan), but I have no fucking clue what's up with the rest.

Pakistan was/is due to afghan war. Mongolia for the biolabs that will be used against china & russia in any coming war.

[–] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 38 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Well,Iraq and Afghanistan are self explanatory

Pakistan sided with the US in the Cold War

Only one that doesn't make sense is Mongolia wtf

Damdin Sükhbaatar rolling in his grave. Which is impressive cause he was cremated.....in 2005 after being exhumed which feels weird. To make room for new monuments apparently. Replaced his mausoleum with one for Genghis Khan. Gotta love ethno-nationalism

[–] LeninWeave@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Replaced his mausoleum with one for Genghis Khan.

Unspeakably awful.

[–] RomCom1989@hexbear.net 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mongolia is very wierd, being somewhat close to the west,but in between the two biggest enemies of the west

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

And also has a very good relationship with Russia.

[–] newacctidk@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Yeah still a lot of fraternal feelings there

[–] CommCat@hexbear.net 57 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Never knew Colombia was part of NATO, no wonder there are so many Colombian mercs fighting in Ukraine. Petro is too based, I worry for him.

[–] SickSemper@hexbear.net 61 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Colombia was the US empire’s #1 dog in the hemisphere for decades before Petro, your worries are real

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 days ago

Hence having the biggest narcos around (until oir leaders in Mexico outlicked the asses of the gringos)

[–] The_Filthy_Commie@lemmygrad.ml 32 points 2 days ago

Old Testament Petro is making a come back, and I'm all here for it.

[–] ColombianLenin@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago (3 children)

They can very well fucking try

[–] SevenSkalls@hexbear.net 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Fucking loving Colombia's leadership lately, comrade. You must be so proud.

[–] ColombianLenin@hexbear.net 5 points 2 days ago

Absolutely! It's great to have a president at the vanguard today. Sadly he is the exception and not the norm

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 8 points 2 days ago

you can be sure they will

[–] jack@hexbear.net 14 points 2 days ago

You think they haven't been desperate to since the moment he got elected?
