I actually think they're trying to leverage it to gain back what was originally in place instead of caving in like everyone else.

Like right now Macron is talking big about announcing recognition of Palestine in September. He's giving the US 2 months to bring a better deal or risk losing unilateral NATO support over American foreign policy in Israel.

I mean its good that they're actually deciding these things for themselves, but if Trump hadn't blown up the global market with delusional tariff wars and hanging "allies" to dry, France probably wouldn't have blinked an eye for anything the US demanded so long as they get paid.

Even if you assumed the test successfully filtered out an educated voterbase, it would take all but five seconds for X party to cheat their exams, kind of like the "grandfather law" which essentially bypassed jim crow era literacy tests for everyone who was white.

This community is still in denial from last year I see, I guess none of you braindeads learned your lesson huh

Even funnier now that the DNC approved candidate is running as a 3rd party in NYC after losing his own primary. Suddenly no issue voting for an independent candidate there.

Just like how Pakistan administers Jammu & Kashmir and India administers AJK & Gilgit Baltistan, both of which are across the Line of Control in the opposite country's border lol.

Pentagon wasted tax money on facebook bots to convince people in East Asia that the chinese covid vaccine was poison, so no one is really buying the "China human rights abuses are what allow China to succeed" idea anymore.

Especially since you can just as easily point to Japan's infrastructure projects which achieved the same thing under US supervision post WWII, meaning said human rights violations aren't even a supposed cost if there's less evidence of it that of UAE literally pirating in immigrants to build their lavish towers and stadiums.

Of which the US fully supports, so this just goes back to the blame game of who is worse.

Yes, China has some shady ideas of what is considered acceptable behavior and work output from citizens, but the point is that they are using it to rapidly grow their infrastructure, unlike NA which take a decade for a single transit system to get approved all while car OEMs are pumping out dumpsterfire vehicles of whose parts are overwhelmingly made in China.

Doesn't really make sense for either of them though. IWT was regularly abused in the opposite way where India would allow flood water to go full downstream since the treaty only really makes provisions for droughts.

If they build a dam, all that water would rapidly collect on each country's side which even with a planned lake location, probably won't be enough to absorb it all.

Can I have my 3rd party now, especially since the DNC is already running as a third party in NYC after they forgot to rig their own primary again.

They shot at the Israeli captives who were waving a white flag after they escaped Hamas two years ago.

DNC normally: "3rd parties don't function in our two party system, there's no point in voting for them"

DNC after losing their own primary: 3rd party it is

Lol I remember Dunkey complaining about this guy and twitch streamers in general showing up to E3 because "The only Twitch streamer that plays games is Pete Dorr, and he wasn't even on there"

A military enforced trade blockade is too much for some people to handle who think battling a state responsible for genocide can be done without violence... which is exactly what a military specializes in.

Of course now that the US has gone home, no one is there to intercept all the antiship missiles, so any vessel aiming for Israel should really take the alternative route.

 

I would have posted an article/picture version but ONN didn't write one lol.
