70 House Republicans voted to cut off all US military aid to Ukraine
Brazilian neighbour here, how has this change impacted the old issues with inflation? I remember there always being lots of complaints from colleagues employed over there about that and it also getting exploited a lot by our tourists, but the BRL to ARS exchange rate doesn't seem to have changed much.
Film workers will get better working conditions, and we won't have more buzz about Marvel movies. It's a win-win.
Also a good amount of productions were already halted due to the WGA strike that has been ongoing for 70 days. Unionize, y'all!
Enemies there refers to during war in which the USA is not, and giving "Aid and Comfort" there means material aid and has literally no relation in the text to whether you receive something for such aid in return. By interpreting "giving them aid" as promoting foreign policy that helps a rival nation as "treason" using that text, you have to completely ignore the part about "bribes" and assume that it applies even in peacetime, which means that every foreign policy decision that helps a rival would be "treason". I'm sure the USA has some other backwards law that prevents lobbying but only if the lobbyist is not white or is a foreigner (and would be happy to have anybody who actually reads laws send it to me), but it is not in the text of the constitution and to claim it is is just either blatantly false or some Ouija-board-level spirit of the law shit. You should definitely read before you write.
You do realise you haven't been banned yet, right? You are still allowed here as far as I know, but you'll have to contend with the fact that spez isn't here to protect you.
I know what sealioning is. However the effort you took to fetch that bookmarked Wikipedia page you could've used to provide me some source for your nuclear threat claims for us to discuss and analyse properly as is typical of a news forum. Given that I'm actually putting a bit of time and effort to reply to you and that the point of this forum is to inform, assuming everybody who comes here has access to every information about whatever remote country you may live on and what specific threats you are referring to is just a waste of bandwidth and account and you might as well just remove yourself from here.
For instance, those threats could've come right after similar threats from your random country in which case it would be escalation (and you'd link me to the wikipedia article of Whataboutism rather than whatever source you find actually interesting, as you people like to do). I have no way of knowing what "constant" threats you are talking about because tensions between some American countries and Russia have been ongoing for more than 10 years now. So far you have made a very strong unsourced claim and then proceeded to waste this comment section by assuming random shit about me. If you don't have anything of substance to say, go back to Reddit to updoot your narwhals in silence.
Edit: fucking finally you provided it, too bad it was on an unmarked edit. Either way I'm not sure I'd consider something from the height of the war a whole year ago "constant", and the threat is being made by a TV show. In their own words "Moscow says it went into Ukraine as a pre-emptive strike against NATO, as Ukraine was seeking nuclear weapons.", so it would still fall into an escalation rather than a blanket threat. Typical thing done by opposing Nuclear Powers since nuclear bombs were invented.
It literally doesn't. RTFC.
Ever since Trump they've taken a strange faux "anti-interventionism" isolationist perspective. This is why they have pulled back from Afghanistan, tried to ease tensions with Russia and generally focused on their "American jobs" rhetoric. It is obviously not applied consistently, like anything in the United States since the preamble to the declaration of independence saying "We hold this truths to be self evident that all men are created equal", but this is somewhat consistent with their newer Dovish and isolationist insistence of avoiding getting tangled into conflicts abroad. Ironically for all his racist base and his constant hawkish and white supremacist rhetoric, Trump is one of the few modern Presidents to not have started any significant military intervention abroad. They have however also done a heck of a job making life as a minority in the USA way worse and wasted a ton of potential with the trade war on China and also the atrocity of giving moral/covert support to fascists abroad.
Oh, so you get to claim whatever on a news forum, but then when pressed I'm the one who actually has to find out what exactly you're even talking about? And in case I can't read your mind, I'm the sealion? How would I even know what events exactly you're even trying to mysteriously hint at? Come now, if you don't wish to show me wrong or inform literally anybody beyond vague hearsay what exactly even is the point of you posting here? This ain't Reddit mate.
No idea about that either, maybe I have a fan. I don't see how a single meaningless upvote is that important though. But it's also crazy how you insist on replying within minutes without backing your claims. Have you anything to say that is not just hearsay?
I guess the issue is that Unitedstadians conflate "aMeRiCa" the country with themselves as citizens. Russia is definitely a much bigger threat to USA global hegemony than any Middle Eastern nation ever was, but some dudes in Afghanistan really did admit to killing a bunch of civilian Stadians that one time. There are probably individual cops in the USAAA with more civilian Stadian blood on their hands than the entire Russian Federation, but usually those victims are considered Others like Latino, African or Indian (both types).
Edit: Removed incorrect implication.
links or sources? "There are tons of videos of" Obama playing Fortnite with Trump. This is a forum about news discussions so if you're expecting anybody to come here and not ask for news and sources backing your claims and to trust what you say blindly, you might be a bit lost.
So you admitted your sources are made of thin air. Excellent. Back your claims buddy, I never claimed to know every single thing every European does to themselves. What is your opinion on the FRG9, Sir Knowsalot?
That fund's goal doesn't even cover $1B per country and is done voluntarily from good will and even private institutions. From the other article you can see that the fund is basically just an investment gig for loans rather than donations out their well intentioned hearts. The USA has to pay compensation for Operation Condor at the very least, and that should not be something they can just opt out of. And that should only be the start if they want to get treated like allies and equals.
Gringos wash their hands of their historical crimes, what a surprise.
Not sure why you're insisting on schoolkids when the article is specifically about state university. RTFA.
They're meant to be using link aggregators like Google Scholar to find papers, not Facebook. Definitely not TikTok.
Thank you for clarifying you're not part of the group you're speaking for. Next time, preface your replies with "I didn't read the article and I also have no experience in the subject matter, but I think my opinion is very important because it aligns with the government." That will make it easier to separate the wheat from the chaff.
And idk what it's like in your country
And apparently neither in yours. Go talk to a(nother) researcher and ask them if they could ever work properly if YouTube or Twitter were banned in their lab computers. Now extend that to reaearchers who specifically have a line of work that depends on TikTok. Then consider you might not know either what you're talking about or how such work happens in practice. And finally RTFA.
But if you insist on focusing on school children who are not the subject matter here, I'll have to accept that your expertise in high school trumps mine, I guess.
Care to provide a source to all those nuke threats or should I roam the informational warzone on my own? And also explain how that would be one-sided Russian aggression rather than escalation between two great power as has been tradition for 70 years now? Even if what you say is true, mere threats of warfare don't equate to training terrorists and backing Al-Qaeda, which the Taliban is known to have done. Those were literally United Stadia's enemies, one of which even did a successful attack on USA soil that killed 3 thousand, as you'll never forget. If not financing a foreign country's war with Russia is treason, then everybody (in and out of government) who advocated for pulling out of Afghanistan should be tried first. Obviously I don't believe that either of those actually are treason, just pointing out how nonsensical this notion is.
"Cyber attacks" and "information warfare" are just hyperbolic terms for things every non-allied powerful country engages in. Even allies like the USA and EU spy on each other.
It’s not the same as supporting pulling out of Afghanistan because Taliban is no threat to the US.
You're going to have to provide some source as to how much more threatening Russia is to the USA compared to Taliban, since the USA explicitly fought a war "of self defence" against those ones. Conceding defeat in a war on foreign land being considered "high treason" because you don't like it would make most freedomnian military adventures since the 60s very dubyous as well. Russia doing whatever it is you think they're doing still doesn't make them your explicit enemy until you actually declare on war on them, which even the most hawkish Democrat will caution against.
Russia is a global threat with its disinformation, blackmail and bribery campaigns that interfere with US and global politics. That makes it much more of a threat to the US than the Taliban.
Virgin literal terrorist training Vs Chad news website and "bribery"
Edit: someone down thread says that selling votes to foreign governments is treason in the US. Sounds reasonable but I don’t know.
I doubt that is true and you shouldn't trust hearsay on the internet, but if that's the case then your whole lobbying industry should treasonous as well. You can go read the law to see that is not the case, but you'd have to be very naïve to think such law could even be applied properly in the USA anyways. Pre-empting your knee-jerk response, "giving them aid" does not apply to "stopping the giving of aid to the enemies of our enemies".
Research is way more than just "valid sources" as though it's only based on what is cited on the final peer-reviewed papers. In the process of researching something you might want to watch lectures, see different short materials, tutorials on how to set up specific software and access all sorts of educational and information YouTube. Besides that social media is frequently used by scientists themselves both to communicate between each other as well as to make accessible materials for non-scientists. And that is not even including research that requires looking into those social media, like say social media analysis.
I'm not sure when have you last taken part in academic research but social media has been an important part of researcher life for longer than it has been for the average public. Get down from your high horse if you know nothing about that.
- rude
- Russia is Ukraine's enemy not yours, unless you ascribe to seeing this as a proxy war. That's like saying pulling out of Afghanistan was treason because it concedes to Taliban's victory.
Please don't parrot incorrect statements without bothering to read the rest of the thread from a position of arrogant ignorance. This claim has been repeated over and over yet not a single person has bothered to back it with any actual law. It's not in the constitution, if that's what you think.
