Thanks for the link, holy shit. The TMR interview actually did mention that article but didn't really put it in context.
What is interesting though is that they provide a bit more background to Imran Kahn as a Trump-like populous that got co-opted by the Pakistan military and his own election in 2018 was also quite questionable (previous PM was jailed). Until they had a big falling out ending in riots and mass arrests.
Overall this story reminds me a bit of Patriot... so much shady dealings and then falling flat on their faces, including now failing to properly rig the election lol. I'm not even sure if I should root for Imran Khan here. Hasan Ali describes him as willing to do pretty much anything in the pursuit of power.
But it's scary how precarious all this is and the role of the IMF and US. They get the bailout but have to cut energy subsidies which leads to protests and political instability... I feel like more and more the wheels are coming off in all these meddling affairs around the world.
In every official statement they say that their attacks will continue until "the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip stops, and medicine and food enter the Strip." With the entry of the international coalition to fight against Yemen, the Houthis announced that American and British targets in the Red Sea also were legitimate targets.
Their "demands" are pretty reasonable. They are a pretty shit (islamic) regime but they are "just" imposing sanctions against Israel.
The ICJ order states that Israel HAS to stop killing Palestinians and provide humanitarian aid. So Yemen imposing sanctions is legally absolutely justified. Instead the US and all the countries removing funding from UNWRA are making themselves complicit in genocide.
So it's the US and the UK who are the aggressors here. They have also attached the Houthis for a decade. Also note that the Houthies are not a proxy for Iran, and what they are doing here is in their own political interest to stay popular with their own people. Israel is really fucking up the region.
Its also interesting that you can recreate an accurate miniature reddit with a fraction of the users
Yeah I'm honestly surprised how well it works. Yeah you don't have the niche communities but you could absolutely move a whole niche community over from reddit and it would be fine.
The monsters have been trying to do the same things in Europe though, UK has underfunded the NHS and healthcare in Germany is in deliberate decline too.
Huh? Doesn't everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn't a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?
We need the equivalent of keeping the phone lines and phone numbers compatible though. So that all the vendors that are on amazon can use a commonly shared internet protocol to also sell on other platforms, otherwise the network effects are lost and make splitting them up and true competition impossible.
Haha oops! Yeah he's just an example though. Well I'd say they grew up and lived in a time where the economy had real growth so there were opportunists and they got wealthy - so they fundamentally don't understand the power of fascism as material conditions deteriorate. They are stupid and that is dangerous.
I mean already in 2018. Of course US meddling goes a long way back.
