Bibi relies on Biden to veto any United Nations action against Israel.

Bibi couldn’t do what he’s doing if he didn’t know Biden is on his side.

I'm not making up anything. And I'm blocking you.

don’t be thick

Where am I being thick? What do you think I'm not understanding?

I don't understand your objection to anything I'm saying.

Israel and China have somewhat understandable claims over West Bank/Gaza and Taiwan, which is why those are complicated situations. Russia makes no such claim over Ukraine.

They were annexed by Russia from Ukraine (a country that Russia does not claim).

Look, you've accused me of lying, you've misrepresented what I say, you stubbornly refuse to understand what I'm saying, and you don't seem to have any understand of the situation you're passionately arguing about.

I'm just gonna block you.

Not only is this article 2 years old, it predates the entire invasion.

Yes, that’s what I said.

I said:

That’s why, before invading, they formally recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine.

You are just making this up.

I am not.

And none of that means Russia is claiming Ukraine.

In fact, by recognizing Luhansk and Donetsk as independent countries, they were explicitly saying that Luhansk and Donetsk were not part of Russia.

It’s not the same situation as Taiwan or Palestine, where China and Israel respectively claim that those territories are theirs and include them on official maps.

Edit: Look at official maps of Russia from Russia. The annexed territories are shown as part of Russia, but the rest of Ukraine isn’t.

Edit 2: You guys, this isn’t a matter of opinion. You’re just misunderstanding the situation. “Territory X belongs to country Y” can depend on who you ask, but “Country Y claims territory X” is a simple fact that is either true or not.

Russia isn’t claiming Ukraine is theirs.

That’s why, before invading, they formally recognized the independence of Donetsk and Luhansk from Ukraine.

No, they're the same name. Guylaine is a respelling of Ghislaine that makes the pronunciation more obvious, like how Jeffrey is a respelling of Geoffrey.

They seem different to you because you're using the non-traditional pronunciation of Ghislaine.

There are two pronunciations.

The original pronunciation is gee-LENN. (Hard G like gum, not gin. Note that the S is silent.)

The more common pronunciation these days is zhee-SLENN.

The gee-LENN pronunciation is still common in Belgium (where the name originates) while zhee-SLENN is more common In France and Quebec.

Biden could stop Netanyahu with a phone call.

Israel relies on the US to veto any United Nations action against Israel. Netanyahu couldn’t do what he’s doing if he didn’t know he has Biden’s support

make space for true leadership that refuses to resign themselves to fascism

They will, however, resign themselves to genocide.
