Look up the siege of Leningrad, idiot

The trope that “German’s Fled to Latin America after the war” is overinflated anti-Latin American propaganda at this point. The US and broader west took in just as many if not more Germans who fled.

Wtf, even Venezuela?

bingo

Its just highlighting big cities, as most maps do when show a country.

try telling this to a Palestinian and see what happens." - Are you giving me a death threat here ?

Interesting that you seem to assume that Palestinians will try to kill you for just talking to them.

You keep talking about Westerners, I have no idea why, maybe you think I am one? And the Rohingya issue has been discussed by communist parties where I am, I don’t know about what is being said in the west, but I don’t care, it doesn’t matter if they address it or not, its a problem for Myanmar and those in the region that are actually able to affect it.

I get the feeling you’re just debatebro-ing me at this point, but I’d prefer if you didn’t lump me in with the average cracker who has never stepped outside of Wisconsin, thats all.

Then what exactly do you mean by calling yourself a “practical man”? If all you’re really doing is saying “something bad is likely to happen”, thats one thing, but resigning yourself to that and saying “It does not matter now” is absolutely doomerism, try telling this to a Palestinian and see what happens. No Palestinian benefits from random commies on lemmy saying shit online, but they certainly don’t benefit any more from people claiming they’re a lost cause because their oppressor has nukes.

When did I bring up the “Western Left”? You assume that I’m some sort of champagne socialist that parrots what I hear on the internet? I have been to the region and spoken to Palestinians myself, don’t delude yourself into thinking its anywhere near “finished” for them. I don’t care what the west says, nor what Lavrov says, I simply stand with the Palestinians, and if they say that its not over, then it isn’t fucking over. You can say something is “practical” or not based on whatever your own concept of the word is. Is it practical to allow the genocidal regime in occupied Palestine to keep doing what they’re doing? Maybe you say yes, maybe most non Palestinians will say yes, but I don’t care what most people say, because it sure a hell is not practical for Palestine, thats where I take my cue.

Russia doesn’t have to care, neither does China, what is changing is that the west is becoming weaker, due to the actions of Russia and the growth of Chinese economic power and diplomacy, the Saudi-Iran deal being a great example of this. Western support is the primary root of Israel’s power, and in a multipolar world that support will wane. This doomerism that nothing can be done is only under the assumption that Israel will remain backed by superpowers forever.

Also just as a side note, South Africa did actually have nukes, up until the 90s. They collaborated with none other than Israel to develop them too, as it happens.

I’ve lived in all three, currently newly moved into a pretty tiny village in the middle of nowhere. I’ll admit I grew up in a big city and spent pretty much most of my life in one, and recently I’ve lived in a smaller quieter town, which seemed slightly better. But circumstances have led to me currently residing where I am, and I have to say that initially it’s great. Everyone knows everyone, theres less noise, you can actually see the stars, and it seems wonderful. But then idk, I guess its might just be me, but I have started to slightly lose my mind from boredom, since nothing ever happens here. It’s too far out of the way from any big places for a quick trip into town, and it’s agonizingly dull at times. Keep in mind I’m in the third world, so I don’t know how it would compare to such a place in Europe or the US, which is where most of you seem to be, but out here the experience isn’t ideal if you’re a relatively young and ambitious person. Maybe when I’ve retired and need someplace quiet to sit around while I wait for death, but right now I can see why everyone below 40 here is either itching to get out to a big city, or go abroad and never come back.

Isn’t it today?

Bashar Al Assad’s birthday also happens to be on 9/11, Ba’ased

You can say whatever the fuck you want about Ceaușescu or Tito, but the opinion polls don’t lie, most Romanians and post Yugoslavs today preferred life under socialism, and no amount of made up atrocities seems to have changed their mind on that.

Ukraine haven’t been “sovereign” since 2014 so it doesn’t apply here

Mate, Germany is in nato, the UK is in nato, Poland is in nato, now Finland is in nato, all of these bastards have invaded Russia in the past and have historically hated Russia and want it’s land or resources. To claim anything else either shows complete disregard for history or willful ignorance.

Recession, Depression, government bails out corporate sector, working people suffer, cycle repeats
