In what was a stunning comeback for the controversial politician, Fico won a third term as Slovakian prime minister last October after running a campaign that criticized western support for Ukraine. Fico had pledged an immediate end to Slovak military support for Ukraine and promised to block Ukraine’s NATO ambitions in what would upend Slovakia’s staunch backing for Ukraine.
Ahead of the election, Fico made no secret of his sympathies towards the Kremlin and blamed “Ukrainian Nazis and fascists” for provoking Vladimir Putin into launching the invasion, repeating the false narrative Russia’s president has used to justify his invasion.
When she shows the map of countries sanctioning Russia, you can see that most of the world isn’t participating. I don’t think the sanctions will produce any outcome except make Russia more independent.
Individualism goes against human nature, and it is probably why people are lonely and homelessness is epidemic in the US.
This goes against everything I’ve learned in the states, where we consider individualism a necessary part of being a responsible and moral person, whereas collectivism strips us of our humanity and turns us into subhuman insectoid creatures incapable of thought.
Reza Pahlavi, the eldest son of the last shah of Iran, is the founder and leader of the National Council of Iran, an exiled opposition group, and a prominent critic of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s Islamic regime....
US is now reeling because they’re starting to realize that they’re now on the receiving end of this game in sectors that are far more important than media.
Before Al-Aqsa Flood I thought Israelis like her were 30-40%, but it turns out from various poll data that over 90% of Israelis support the genocide in Gaza.
They know that this strategy won’t work but they continue anyways. They know they can’t restock their ammunition but they still fire them. What am I missing here?
I did write here two months ago or more that the US has no path to victory or a definition of what victory means. But I thought it would take much longer than this. It took much longer for US defeat in Afghanistan to be apparent. Unless you start counting from when the US first started fighting Ansar Allah in 2004.
Fun fact: it was the USSR that helped get South Yemen’s missile program started. Later this technology was transferred to Yemen after reunification. So it isn’t just Iran supplying them.
In Arabic we have a saying يجيبك الموز يا قرد “the bananas will make you come back oh monkey”. The monkey here being the US and the bananas are the hope that China will solve the problems it starts.
“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”
“Praise Allah, for soon every American city shall be plagued with disaster and hardship,” al-Zawahiri said in the video, which includes several minutes of footage of young, masked al-Qaeda militants casually sipping beverages as they thumb through the latest issues of Time and U.S. News And World Report. “The infidels have brought this pain and destruction upon themselves through their arrogance and callousness. Soon, the United States will watch in horror as its bridges crumble, its desperate citizens suffer in want of medicine and paying employment, and its once vast riches are reduced to naught. The righteous warriors among our ranks must now unite, get comfortable, and look on from afar at the calamity unfolding in the West.”
The US military has illegally occupied Syrian sovereign territory since 2014, preventing Damascus from accessing its own oil and wheat. The Senate voted 13-84, rejecting a resolution to withdraw them.
