Unfortunately international media is not capturing the gravity of the German government winding around and refusing to say they abide by the ICC decision.
Here is todays gov. press conference in German. Maybe Youtube provides auto-translation. I think the faces and the way they talk can be understood even without knowing German.
So what is Donny going to do worse? Complete the genocide faster?
Because Biden, Harris and the DNC have made it abundantly clear that they support the genocide and total annihilation of all Palestinians and to erase any last bit of Palestine from the Maps. They just wanted it to happen at a pace that allows to pretend not being white supremacist mass murderers to continue getting the votes of the minorities in the US.
The Dems need to be punished over this until they remove the genocidal white supremacists from their ranks.
That is the only way to create a political momentum to get a non genocidal political option in the US
Iran qnd Israel shared “warm ties” while the Shah was in power as a western puppet. His internal police was trained and worked together with Mossad and CIA to torture murder and dissappear tens of thousands of people.
The moment things changed is pretty straight forward. When the revolution kicked out the Western puppet. Unfortunately the revolutionary moment was seized by the theocrats who now also run an opressive regime.
You deliberately left out the paragraph right before that explaining all of this.
Motivated by the periphery doctrine, Imperial Iran and Israel had close relations, seeing Arab powers as a common threat. After the 1979 Islamic revolution, Iran cut off relations, but covert ties continued during the subsequent Iran–Iraq War. Iran trained and armed Hezbollah during Israel’s 1982 invasion of Lebanon, and continued to back Shia militias throughout the Israeli occupation of Southern Lebanon.[27] Even before 1979, Iranian Islamists had materially supported the Palestinians; after 1979 Iran attempted relations with the Palestine Liberation Organization, and later with Palestinian Islamic Jihad and Hamas. Israel fought a war with Hezbollah in 2006. Israel has fought several wars with Palestinians in and around the Gaza Strip: in 2008-2009, 2012, 2014, 2021 and 2023–2024. The 1982 Lebanon War and Israel–Hamas war have been the deadliest wars of the Arab–Israeli conflict.[28]
Still what he said doesnt make sense as the compound is added specificqlly to make the ethanol undrinkable and therefore not eligble for alcohol taxes like you said.
Russia and NK arent best buddies and neither China nor Russia were particularly fond of NK developong nukes either. Finally sanctions give an opportunity for smuggling and increasing dependency or it could have been a tit for tat deal to allow sanctions on NK in exchange for some other political gain.
Industrial ethanol? It is still just ethanol. It is not more poisonous because it is “industrial”.
When referring to “industrial alcohol” it always means methanol in that context.
And for industrial purposes fermentation is still the way to make ethanol, rather than chemical synthesis.
Finally, what is denatured alcohol even supposed to mean? Proteins can denature, but they are complex molecules. Alcohol cannot denature.
I am sorry, but what you write does not make any sense.
Why would Iran be a threat to Israel and the US? Could it be because of violently overthrowing the democrwtically elected leader and installing a puppet that murdered and tortured his people with US and Israeli aid for 30 years, so the US could steal oil from Iran?
Naah, why would anyone feel offended by this? Clearly they are just evil and don’t like bald eagles…
Also the US doesnt give a shit about Iran specifically. The US needs Israel as the rusty knife in the side of West Asia to sow division among the Arab and muslim nations. If they were to get rid of their corrupted leaders and Israel they could quickly grow to a power bloc that can’t be pushed around anymore.
The US needed perpetual war and instability in the Region. And Israel is a good means to instigate that. Meanwhile Europe suffers greatly from the US instability workings.
It wouldnt even have been about weapons, but rather Israel to also sanction Russia, not to have sold them military equipment used against Ukraine like drones they sold in 2015-2018.
But Zelensky sucking up to Israel will always be a bad stain in his record. While Israel supported the Russian invader after his annexatiom of Crimea, Zelensky chose zionism to be more important than protecting his people.
Obviously not. Russia is a permanent security council member with veto powers. None of the veto powers will ever get sanctioned by the UN, as they will always veto them.
Jewish Americans are at threat of anihilation by their regional neighbour Iran?
It doesnt matter if the ICC gains from it politically or not. Justice can only be served if equal rules are respected by everyone or at least most of the involved. Now it will be put to test, if nations like Germany, France or the UK actually care for a rules based international order, or if it was just a sham to get what they wanted. If the masks fall, at least it gives the other nations a clear fighting ground, knowing that there is no point in abiding by any rules with the countries rallying behind the war criminals instead of rallying behind the law.
Good. This helps building a case for the next row to be charged. I hope that at the end of this genocide and plethora of war crimes there stands a trial that will get everyone who committed or supported it to face justice and spend the rest of their lifes in prison. And if that means imprisoning most of active duty IDF and all the “settler” terrorists so be it.
Russia is the largest country and has access to all the natural ressources necessary. Also Russia has a large civil nuclear industry. Not only their power plants, but also production of Rods for nuclear reactors. A lot of the European nuclear plants run on rods produced in Russia.
Also the nukes are Russias main deterrent and western intelligence, in particular the US aren’t stupid. Maintaining a sufficient arsenal must have been Russias main strategic objective since 1990.
If Russia didn’t have enough working nukes for MAD, the western response would look very different.
Again i get the whish to think like this, but it is naive to believe Russia would have zero working nukes.
Israelis are largely in favor of it. Netanyahus approval has skyrocketed, when they launched the offensive on Lebanon and Israelis opposing the wars and occupation are increasingly targeted by the government and government affiliated “settler” terror groups. These terror groups have ramped up their pogroms in East Jerusalem and the West Bank and decent Israelis who get in their way are beaten while the IDF watches.
While i appreciate the whish that Russian nukes don’t work, it would be exceptional for none of their 10.000 or so to work. Even if only 1 in 1.000 work, that is still enough to annihilate some 10-20 million people or so.
Thank you for the clarification. It was the lingo used by western media these past days.
Probably a warning in response to letting Ukraine use western missiles deep into russian territory.
The total wealth is not an issue, but the distribution of it.
My uncle in France had his retirement lowered to 90€/month. You can buy maybe two weeks of groceries for one person with that.
Do you think the strikes that got us workers rights in the first place were legal at their time?
They were attacked by the oligarchy, sometimes with dozens of people killed.
You dont get anything done against an oligarchy if you play by their rules.
If you are an anti-zionist Jew in Germany you’ll face a brunt of repressions. German “anti antisemitism” comissioners even go as far as calling anti-zionist Jews “allegedly jewish”, thereby deciding who are “good” and “bad” Jews.
