Genocide going well
US news media? Lie about America's geopolitical rivals? Say it ain't so...
How the fuck did Biden think a ceasefire was going to happen? Netanyahu wasn't consulted, Hamas was against it, and the "agreement" they tabled basically regurgitated the Israeli proposal that was already shot down.
Who is running the state department in this administration and how are they so incompetent?
The Palestine issue has drawn a very clear line between the West and the rest. All this smoke and mirrors surrounding the rules-based international order, human rights protections, helping developing countries develop, ending racial discrimination... it's all bullshit.
The only issue at the core of all of these problems is class conflict on a global scale. The overwhelmingly wealthy West seeks only to maintain the status quo, even when doing so puts them increasingly at odds with their own rules and their own systems.
Given that ships are reporting ties to China to avoid getting targeted and state-owned COSCO has stopped serving Israel in exchange for Red Sea transit, I'm not really sure what pressure the US hopes to apply here.
China doesn't care about the Houthis because they're not interrupting Chinese trade.
China is sending aid to Gaza, is pressuring regional partners to stop infighting, and Chinese weapons are "accidentally" ending up in Palestinian hands. Chinese shipping is blatantly showcasing the viability of Yemen's sanctions by restricting shipments to Israel in exchange for transiting the Red Sea (putting the ships at risk of getting caught in a US/UK strike). China, in general, has a policy off no-military-intervention outside of it's immediate vicinity and hasn't fired ammunition at an enemy since the fall of the Soviiet Union, and hasn't fought at scale since 1979. China does not express its power with "who has a bigger stick."
Are we also forgetting that China mediated the Iran-KSA rapprochement, which had direct implications on the Israel-KSA relationship?
North Korea supporting the side committed to ending illegal Israeli occupation and genocide, let's go!
This is a reflection of China's shifting priorities: it wants to change it's economic driver from being export-driven to being consumption-driven.
Explains why Canada is so happy to dick around in the Middle East.
It should either fall under "not our problem" or under "conflict bad please stop fighting." Those are the two reasonable humanitarian positions.
Argentina needs shock therapy to realize milei is a dumbass
lmao imagine thinking that the Chinese government gives a shit what you say on social media that can't be accessed in China
it's pretty simply just control yourself on Chinese social media as if you are in public. that's the only principle of the thing
