That becomes moot when it’s war, and the coverage in question is about the internal political situation of the people they are currently fighting. The same applies to any country at war, and their domestic press coverage of their opposing force, or country.
Does this mean I should use AJ to source credible information on internal Israeli politics? How about Russia Today for reporting on Ukrainian morale?
Seriously, stop posting wartime propaganda and pretending it’s credible journalism.
I don’t know, I feel it brings something…a bit of good cheer and comic relief, which is always needed when discussing…checks notes… Ah yes, colonial settler violence, indigenous displacement, and ethnic cleansing.
You’re using American verbiage, which is incorrect usage for this situation.
Conservatives traditionally conserve i.e. conserve traditions, nature, etc.
This is liberalism, in the classical laissez-faire sense, not the bastardized American usage of the word.
Call me a traditionalist, but I much prefer the antichrist.
Foreign policy is always about power, end of story.
America has been trying to remove itself from the ME, or at least significantly shrink it’s footprint, without leaving a power vacuum for Iran to fill. The plan was to have KSA and Israel fill that void instead, along with Turkey.
Morality and principles only directly impact foreign policy decisions if they impact the domestic political calculus. For example, if MBS believed moving forward with the Israeli partnership would result in him losing power.
This is not reflective of my own feelings or values. It’s just a neutral observation and assessment of the situation.
You’re not wrong, but maybe you’ve noticed that whenever any country announces they’ve arrested a spy, or foreign intelligence asset, the country they’re accused of spying for always, without fail, denounces it as political persecution and denies the allegations of spying.
So…while there’s recent precedent for political detentions of citizens under false pretense of spying, it’s not like it’s that hard to believe they were a spy.
The only real evidence we have that they aren’t a spy is that they weren’t summarily, and quietly, executed.
We’ll just have to wait and see how they proceed. Will they be used for a prisoner swap of detained Chinese intelligence assets? Or held indefinitely.
Because indefinite detention probably means innocent of spying, and waiting to be used for a political bargaining tool.
No, that’s not what’s happening.
Poor women and women in poor counties are used as baby ovens for the wealthy, or those with the means to rent their wombs. Which is why he specifically refers to it as the “commercialization”.
He’s saying that’s exploitive and immoral as there as children waiting to be adopted. So instead of “renting” a poor women’s womb, adopt a child instead.
Also, FWIW I’m pro-choice, but that doesn’t mean I should pretend everyone who thinks differently is evil.
Opposing abortion isn’t always about a misogynistic need to control women. For some people it’s a genuine belief that life begins at conception, which is what Pope Francis appears to sincerely believe.
That doesn’t extend to everyone, and I’d go so far as to say most of the Evangelical American pro-life movement are just reactionary hateful shitstains who are genuine misogynists that wouldn’t hesitate to get their mistress an abortion.
Anyways, just my $0.02
Funny headline, but less dramatic article, and explanation.
There’s currently no active sailors capable of taking over for the one retiring.
Using LinkedIn to reach RETIRED naval officers with the requisite qualifications to come back for a 2 year position.
Also, they already use LinkedIn for recruiting in similar situations, although this is the highest ranking officer role they’ve used LinkedIn for.
Sure, if there is one thing we know about former Anglo-British colonies, it’s their inate pacifism and inability to field and maintain competent and formidable militaries…
Not that I’m going to defend the honor or integrity of the American lead neoliberal order, but reading this made me laugh, and loudly:
China’s foreign ministry spokesman on Friday urged Washington to respect international trade rules and market-based principles
China takes all the worst parts of Western capitalism, and finds more ways to make them even shittier. Including enshitifying the already beshitted aforementioned principles.
Because of Russia’s vast geography and relatively limited waterway access, it’s better to think of their different fleets almost as individual smaller navies.
Especially in the context of the Black Sea fleet and Turkey’s ability to restrict access of military vessels through Bosporus and Dardanelles Straits because of the Montreux Convention.
So to answer your question under that more narrow scope, I believe it’s roughly 20% of the Black Sea fleet has been destroyed.
