  • Good point, but unless the ustashe independently invented it, I'd consider it a Nazi salute.

  • Maybe they're only a Nazi if they're a card-carrying member of the NSDAP, otherwise they're only a sparkling fascist.

  • How is a "pro-Nazi salute" different from a "Nazi salute"?

  • Can you expand on why they are suffering? What led to this current situation?

  • OK, then why is the first reflex to suggest that the west "step up"? Is this Schroedinger's intervention, both desirable and not?

  • Please step up, Europe.

    How is this Europe's fault? The people of Afghanistan soundly rejected western assistance when they kicked us out and reinstalled the Taliban. Afghanistan has a government, the one its people supported and wanted. Let them take care of their own rather than turn to the "imperialists" they were so glad to be rid of.

  • I'm reminded of that Talib who was interviewed after the US pulled out; he missed the revolution and his new office job was sucking all the fun out of life. Who'd have thought those guys would make terrible administrators.

  • This roughly aligns with my xperience, although if they really get to know you some will be more forthright about their politics. Many look longingly to what we have in the west.

  • Not really startling. No big player other than Russia has ever been on China's side RE Taiwan.

  • It's always the ones you most expect...

  • Trump is so used to declaring bankruptcy that he thought declaring a ceasefire worked the same way, something you do unilaterally.

  • The USA was already not a serious country but this is so pathetic that it wouldn't make it into a movie script for being too far-fetched.

  • Can you update this with a different source rather than Quds News?

  • Perhaps the reason the genocide is tolerated is that the West, unlike in earlier eras, is in structural decline and it needs to hang on to it’s strategic assets at all costs.

    I agree that this is probably a factor. Everything is on shaky ground. If the US weren't run by a lunatic we might see a more coordinated condemnation of Israel, but I suspect the war in Ukraine is a major factor here, and China's ticking deadline to make an attempt on Taiwan.

  • The strawman is the user saying I'm defending Israel's actions, when I've done absolutely nothing of the sort. Their entire government needs to be brought to the ICC.
