South Korea has given up on talking to the North

  • The only solution is a military invasion of NK

    1. The DPRK has nuclear weapons
    2. The Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the People's Republic of China have a treaty going back to 1961 which in Article II clearly states that: "The Contracting Parties undertake jointly to adopt all measures to prevent aggression against either of the Contracting Parties by any state. In the event of one of the Contracting Parties being subjected to the armed attack by any state or several states jointly and thus being involved in a state of war, the other Contracting Party shall immediately render military and other assistance by all means at its disposal."

    Aggression on them is aggression on China, good luck! 😄

    Which is not what is happening since Bolivia is using the Yuan for trades that were previously made in USD.

  • Nothing in that link shows SWIFT blocked Cuba. Quite the contrary, I’ve done a relatively exhaustive search… SWIFT has NEVER blocked Cuba. So yes… you’re lying.

    Why are you so hell bent on defending the American empire against the Cuban people?

    No, you haven't done a "relatively exhaustive search", if you had you would have learned that SWIFT has indeed blocked Cuba in the past.

    https://www.dw.com/en/swift-could-slow-trumps-iran-sanctions/a-46119092

    Based in Belgium, SWIFT claims political neutrality, but has bowed to US influence in the past, blocking transactions to Cuba and Iran.

    The SWIFT software manual even admits to auto flagging payments that contain the word "Cuba" even if they're not related to Cuba (the country) at all 🤣

    https://www.swift.com/sites/default/files/documents/swift_iso20022_thirdpartytoolkit_final.pdf (Page 13)

    In the MT example, it’s highly likely the payment would be one of the 10% typically stopped by a sanctions filter, triggering an investigation. This is because the word ‘Cuba’ appears in the name and address and it’s otherwise unclear where the payment is going.

    In the common law of most English-speaking countries, there is no general duty to come to the rescue of another.

    Demonic worldview, just because your law books used to legitimize slavery would you also practice it?

  • Russia is using cluster munitions

    Not according to the Pentagon, no: "Commenting on videos depicting alleged Russian cluster munition use, DOD officials stated during a March 1, 2022 press conference that “we’ve seen the same video that you have but we have not assessed that it is definitive with respect to the use of cluster munitions. So we are not in a position to confirm the use of cluster munitions at this time.” In a similar manner, a DOD official stated during March 3, 2022, press conference that DOD was still unable to confirm Russia’s use of cluster munitions."

    Ukraine on the other hand has been using cluster munitions against civilians for quite a while now:

  • Need to stop China

    China has lower per capita CO₂ emissions than Europe, the United States has higher emissions than the previous two combined:

    https://ourworldindata.org/contributed-most-global-co2

    http://archive.today/2023.07.04-193431/https://www.newstatesman.com/chart-of-the-day/2021/10/the-us-still-produces-far-higher-per-capita-emissions-than-china

    They are making 30+% of the entire world’s carbon output and no plans to reduce that for another 7 years

    China is on track to nearly double its wind and solar capacity by 2025 and blow past the country’s 2030 clean power target five years early, according to Global Energy Monitor.

    2022 - Sinopec has estimated that 10.68 million tonnes of carbon dioxide will be injected into the oilfield over the next 15 years, boosting crude oil production by nearly 3 million tonnes. Last year Sinopec captured and stored more than 1.52 million tonnes of carbon dioxide.

    If anything it's the United States that needs to be stopped, and thankfully multipolarity is making this a reality soon.
