That’d be like saying “The people of the Confederacy did not support the Union invasion”, with “the people” only referencing the white citizens of the Confederacy and not the millions of black slaves, Native Americans, and white abolitionists.

Of course the “people of Tibet” would not be rejoicing at the PLA operation; as those people were part of the 5% of the population that owned the other 95% as slaves. I’m sure that the 95% were distraught they were no longer enslaved against their will.

Also Haiti didn’t have slavery because they themselves wanted it. It was imported on a mass scale from a colonial power. Tibet had slavery because it was baked into their religion and culture with a vile caste system and violent repression.

A country that is built upon 95% of their “citizens” being chattel slaves does not have a right to exist and be tolerated by countries around it, and such a state genuinely should be invaded if the aim of the invasion is to sweep aside a vile system that is keeping millions of people as nothing more then livestock.

Don’t forget that as a slap to the face to students calling for divestment from Israel, both parties sneakily shoved in another bill alongside this one that sends another 26.3 billion dollars to Israel.

It’s very common to shove several unpopular bills into one that is more popular or has better PR.

Let’s Congress sneakily avoid PR disasters while getting their way.

I don't know, sometimes I wish I could use my skills and powers for evil and live a cushy life funded by the infinite coffers of the US MIC and State Department.

Then I remember I have a conscious and basic human morality.

Communism is when no Internet discourse with fascists. I love it so much. It’s so fun seeing the degenerates of the Internet get turned to dust and not tolerated like they are on Reddit.

Belarus and Ukraine were never satellite states of the USSR, they were quite literally founding members and part of the 14 republics.

I don’t know what you think satellite state means.

AirPods were seen as a joke, with people mocking them incessantly and demanding the headphone jack back… then one month before Christmas a mysterious “Oh no he can’t hear us! They have AirPods in” meme, shows up on Reddit, propagated by almost entirely bot accounts.

It highlights the noise canceling, and it made everyone think of AirPods. Next thing you know everyone wants then and they’re now one of apples top selling products.

This doesn’t show much of “rising tension”, that’s just media fearmongering.

All that happened was that the loan agreement ran out, and they haven’t gotten around to making a new one. The pandas have been prepped for movement for weeks at this point.

This isn’t just between the US and China. Zoos cannot legally buy and sell animals for cash, favors, property, or any other asset, in an effort to undermine animal smuggling and poaching. Instead there is an international system of trading where zoos will trade and loan animals to each other like Pokémon cards.

This isn’t a political move either; a lot of US zoos are private entities and thus a lot of them treat their animals like shit. There are some beautiful incredible zoos in the US, but a lot of them should be razed to the ground in their current state.

The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.

All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.

In the seconds after this meme, Walter(Russia) proceeds to shoot and kill Mike(NATO).

I don't think the Libs thought this one through...

Also the Soviet Union was overjoyed at the thought of a Post-War continuation of the Allies, and because the fact that the entire West German leadership were Nazi's, they readily applied for NATO membership, in fact they were one of the first countries to do so. They thought they could avoid hostilities with the US, and prevent an arms race or possible WW3. When they were rejected, they somberly realized what was going on and quickly organized the Warsaw Pact.

The Soviets also offered on two separate occasions to reunify Germany and establish it as a neutral country outside either spheres of influence. This would include the withdrawal of all Soviet, American, French, and British assets and forces. This was soundly rejected.

In Operation LAC, US Army engineers sprayed St Louis with radioactive particles, biological, and chemical agents over the course of several decades to see how long term NBC and fallout damage affected civilian population centers, and the human body.

The sprayed a dangerous bacteria to mimic anthrax, zinc sulfide (highly radioactive), and various chemical weapons from planes, and from dispersal trucks parked on the downward slope of the mountain overlooking the city.

The targets were primarily schools, hospitals, elderly care facilities, and residential areas, as they contained the largest amount of targets.

This was part of a larger experiment as well. Other targeted cities include, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Corpus Christi, Springfield, Detroit, Toledo, Toronto, and Vancouver these are the ones the Army had admitted to as they covered up most of the operation.

Other tested areas include vague references to “All states east of the Rocky’s”, “Entire Mississippi delta”, “Native American reservations”, and “The entire Canadian border”.

They also covered the entire North Eastern coast of Britain.
