[OFF TOPIC] Politics Thread

Recommended Posts

Next elections in Poland are in 2023 so if Law & Justice ever wanted to play hardball with the anti-abortion law, the perfect timing was last fall especially with COVID still being somewhat relevant. The bill was passed last November, now it's just being made official. Thankfully for L&J teenagers either don't have the right to vote (if someone is 14yo or 15yo today) and this group is usually the least reliable among voters anyway (unlike seniors and elders who simply don't have better things to do than to go and vote). Come 2023 there will be a ton of other topics on the agenda, two years is forever in politics.

I may bias but biden got no clue about what is going on here, and he goes on to make big descion just like that ,speaking to a palastinian guy i know, he said this is a sign for a bad years to come, here is some facts, more then 95% of the aid is going on weapon and missle purchese, palestinan who need medical care are going to israel to get the health care most of the time for *free* , this is a video from a month ago when Hamas had a drill of rocket lanching and soldiers kidnapping, well it's funny when me and my Arab-Israeli, and Palestinain freinds agree that much but it's happend now...

So when is Uncle Joe going to wave the flag of democracy in Myanmar? :d

Never. Myanmar has nothing that would interest USA and all Western democracies. It was only useful for the British Empire due to being a passage between China and India for trade purposes. That's no longer important. This place became equally as irrelevant as Cape Verde when the slavery trade from Western Africa collapsed.

Myanmar is of China’s interests, there are some major China-led infrastructure projects under construction there, especially the gas pipeline linked China and Indian Ocean. If US put some sanctions on Myanmar, it will only push it even firmly on China’s side. Actually it already happened when the West together condemning the so-called Rohinga genocide.

Acording Global Times, China is under the "coup of state" in Myanmar, with your post i understand more that supposition.

    • Rather negative     Both towards Vollering and towards the coach, who has been making a mess of this for years now (like Tokyo). Vollering literally said "it was not good for me that Markus and Vos were still in the front towards the end"     One of the most well-known journalists (albeit a bit of a drama queen, but in this case, he's right): "Absurdly bad race by Vollering. Unbelievable."   An entire analysis titled "Vollering only thought of herself and threw away and almost certain Dutch medal": https://www.wielerflits.nl/nieuws/demi-vollering-dacht-alleen-aan-zichzelf-en-verspeelt-vrijwel-zekere-wk-medaille-voor-nederland/   Vollering: "They were all riding just to make me lose"   https://www.gelderlander.nl/video/productie/vollering-mij-laten-verliezen-wk-zurich-772648?referrer=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2F   The 100th time Vollering shows she should simply not be in a team like this. It is always trouble, every single time. We need a team with like 6 Marianne Vos clones, she has the experience, she can read a race like absolutely nobody else in the world can and she plays her role, whether that's the team captain or working for someone else, without complaining and to the fullest extent.   Vollering is the exact opposite of Vos. Vollering rides for Team Vollering, which consists of Demi Vollering. No matter what.
    • What did Dutch press make out of it? It was one of the worst "teamworks" I have ever seen in cycling.
    • There is a ton of evidence, even if you don't believe the Bible is real,  that israel is our ancestral land.  And we simply took what's ours.  And in fact there was never anyone named Palestinians there.   Simply a name given to the region by the Roman's.  But the actual people is just a collective of individuals from different Arab countries where they were kicked out from.  And we are expected to cater to them.   There are plenty of other countries that should take them.   Iran, qatar, Iraq, Kuwait, Yemen, Algeria,  libiya, Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco to name a few.   
    • Completely lost track of when the other final, but I just finished watching the pre-recorded version of it.   Team “Magic Mike” McEwen defeated Team Gushue 8-3 to win his third title (and in a row) of the season. 
    • Massive win indeed, a 80+ kilometer solo in the world championships, damn  (I mean, Sivakov jumped with him to try and help him of course, but couldn't do anything but sit in his wheel until he got dropped )
    • If even Erdogan calls you a psychopath, you're probably been....bad.    
    • Meanwhile:         https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maher_al-Assad
    • Sure, some things are simply historical events retold with a kind of fantasy layer over it, to make it more appealing to read and/or - most importantly - to put some lessons into it, which is fine (and which is the main way to read most religious texts, as 'lessons' and messages by the writers instead of actual historical facts). But let's not pretend that things like Moses splitting the sea or the entire exodus have a significant historical basis, based on actual evidence. Anyway, like I said: I'm well aware people who believe the religious book of their choosing is a historical book aren't going to ever believe otherwise, I grew up in a town full of similiarly minded people
