It’s funny that this post is spreading such a distorted image of Finland during WWII, but it comes out being more reasonable than others because you’re not an armchair warhawk. These countries are bourgeois democracies beholden to the international ruling class, and therefore the USA. People are being made to fall into the scheme, and quelled.
You should read the Tuomas Tepora book on the Finnish Civil War.
Maybe we should distinguish the workers who fall into a category that benefits from the exploitation and murder of another global category
Oh my bad I gotta check if I’m double posting smdh
Is it true that a lot of the army sympathizes with Hezbollah despite not being a part of their real base?
Well at least they seem incapable of disarming Hezbollah
Would be epic if the whole Lebanese army was into that too
Maybe die fighting for Poland, who knows? Scandinavians deserve all of what they are asking for. They’ve participated in plenty of interventions themselves in countries they considered inferior.
Can’t wait until they turn you into Ukrainians
Yeah, GMO is such a broad term now & what it calls to mind is Roundup Ready. Even without that kind of malice there is the risk of something unforeseen happening with the wider rollout of the crops, perhaps disease or pest issues. Would hate to see it politically hamstring critical technologies for adapting to new shittier climates. With nuclear or agricultural science it’s difficult to build and maintain a talent pool domestically
I hope we don’t find ourselves in 2030 having to look back on this situation like those Hezbollah already endured in the 2000s, and there is a continuation of this larger confrontation with Israel that actually brings it to an end. In the meantime all there is to do is study
I mean as long as they’re not sacrificing food sovereignty through IP rights I hope they can make use of GMOs, not sure, honestly agriculture is too abstract in my mind. It’s an area of production that needs to be prioritized first, mechanized and streamlined, but what does that really say other than “be like Vietnam and China”?
I wish there were some threat of harm to Westerners, but sadly it’s just rhetoric
Can’t refuel across the Pacific or build ships, I’m curious what the game plan would be. “Pivot to China” almost seems harmless now (not really since it involves meddling in subcontinent + SEA + Oceania)
Israel used years of Patriot supplies in less than 2 weeks and all they can do is lick their wounds, nothing to show for it
“They will catch up” “commitment to increases in military spending”
Oh right I keep forgetting that Russia is winning because it has more expensive weapons, so spending will fix everything
You just said Zelensky was wrong about Europe being unable to compensate for US military aid. Without wading into the industrial capacity issue (which European nationalist redditors refuse to acknowledge), can you explain why is he saying this? Why is the Washington Post saying it?
Moreover, why is the US unwilling to make these deliveries? Even when pulling out of Vietnam, the US wasn’t running out of weapons like this, it was restructuring the financial system to pay for the war, and unable to match the tenacity of the proud Vietnamese people. What’s going on? Where did all of the Patriot missiles go? Did they fall into the couch cushions?
While we’ve got you on the line, how many Patriot missiles does the US produce a year?
You didn’t think we were joking about all this the past few years, did you?
So why is Zelensky lying?
Lemmy.ml should abide by Brazilian laws because otherwise they’ll get blocked in that country. I’m not much of a free speech fanatic. Ideally if people post a bunch of Nazi shit then Brazilian ISPs will be legally obliged to block it. The socdems in Brazil are rather lame so I have little faith in all of the “dark humor” Fb and Telegram groups getting nuked.
I’m not a lawyer, but, if you understand this isn’t even a new law and it’s just the end of impunity for US companies I don’t see why you would frame this as an imminent threat to free speech. That’s why I doubted you read.
It covers the whole historical debate over fascism and the USSR in Finland. If you enjoy it I’ve got more recommendations regarding how western academia has turned the humanities into propaganda departments, fascism in Ukraine, you name it. Just get it off of Anna’s Archive if you need to, I must have everyone read it 😁
