The US loses to Russia and China in popularity across Africa
  • I'm sure that will never change. Russia and China seem like great chums who would never mistreat anyone for profit or power. I hear Ghana is getting a nuclear reactor from China! I'm sure that the Chinese will be happy to forgive those debts when Ghana inevitably can't pay for it like the IMF has done regularly.

  • Over 30 pro-Palestine protesters arrested at Ohio State: what we know
  • "Back in my day" people protested knowing that they'd get arrested. I don't know why this has apparently been forgotten and they're surprised by the arrests? Is the civil rights movement not taught in schools anymore? As long as we avoid another Kent State this is just how it's always worked. Whining about it by the protesters just shows a lack of understanding in regards to how the world works. Have they not even seen Greta Thunberg getting arrested? Amateurs!

  • Russia to grow faster than all advanced economies says IMF
  • Also, when your economy is doing so poorly it's easy to do better. When your economy is doing well, it's more difficult to improve.

    Mathematically, if I give a naked homeless person with no worldly possessions a sandwich, they have infinitely more wealth. It's still just a sandwich though.

  • Bloomberg: War in Ukraine Is Turning in Putin’s Favor After Months of Stalemate
  • For anyone who's been following along, Russia should have been able to take Avdivka over a year ago. For it to have taken this long really says everything. If this is a "turning point" in the war, there is still quite a lot of room for optimism.

  • UK accused of hypocrisy in not backing claim of genocide in Gaza before ICJ
  • I feel like we're getting hung up on the definition of genocide. It is reasonable to believe that what is happening in Gaza does not fall under the definition. That doesn't make it any less horrible. People are having a semantic argument while others perish.

  • US Vetoes UN Resolution for Ceasefire in Gaza
  • It would put Israel "on the back foot" in regards to the conflict. Israel would be tied up negotiating for hostage release which is exactly where Hamas wants them. It stops being a question of who is winning a battle and turns it into "how much is Israel willing to sacrifice".

  • Palestine-Israel Crisis Megathread
  • "European settlers" in the sense that they hadn't been in Israel since the Romans kicked them out in '65 for causing too much trouble with all their messiahs and religious zealotry.
