Legality is a matter of judicial opinion and enforcement. It seems that the trump administration is perfectly fine with ignoring the former and the judicial system can't be asked to perform the latter.

The banality of evil rears its unremarkable and familiar head once again.

Have they improved their customer service at all? I used to exclusively get oneplus phones, but then I got two models in a row that were unusable after a couple months.

They both had solvable problems, but I could never get their service department to actually implement the correct fix. They would just tell me to send it in, and then send it right back without even doing anything.

Yeah.... Especially if you have a high efficiency machine. Washing machines use a lot less water than back when these "recipes" were actually practical. So if you utilize shaved bar soap and borax, you're not only going to be leaving residue to build up in your machine, you're going to have it build up in your clothes as well.

Also, a lot of people are sensitive to borax. The reason they don't use it in regular detergent as an agitator is because it can cause rashes for a large percentage of the population.

that Russia doesn't need minerals, nor land, nor resources, but an assurance that nuclear capabilities aren't being deployed along its border.

I mean if that was the entire point of the war wouldn't it still be a strategic failure considering the invasion prompted Finland to join NATO?

I mean it's kinda hard to separate from COVID and the set back in their housing market. Basically in an attempt to meet their GDP quotas local governments loaned out way too much money to keep production. So local governments are in a lot of debt which at some point should have cascading effects on the economy.

You might try an orthopedic shoe company like Drew Shoes. They carry size 15 in multiple widths for a lot of their shoes. They can be a bit pricey, but they have a clearance section that usually has a lot of options.

The sad thing is that a good amount of these guys aren't actually working for the state. A lot of them are actually immigrants who left Russia for more opportunities, but are still rampant nationalist attempting to damage the countries that gave them a new home.

Yeah.... Because Trump has such a good track record of maintaining nuclear deals. This is just a pretense to allow Israel to invade Iran once they've finished their genocide in Gaza.

The whole reason Israel felt comfortable enough to commit to purging Gaza is because Trump ended the original nuclear deal to begin with. Now that Benni feels things are wrapping up in Palestine, he's going to need another war to keep Israel's bloodlust going and keep his coalition together.

International law no longer holds any water. Every world power seems hell bent on making geopolitics revolve around hard power. The US backs out of treaties every four years, the Russians haven't ever made a deal they didn't pretend never happened, and China is out there pretending a vast swath of the Pacific is there's because of reasons...

In a time where a level of global cooperation is needed greater than ever before to prevent climate change, we as a species are shitting the bed harder than ever before.

Yeah.... I think some Marshalls are probably going to get fired by some angry judges. The Marshalls are the enforcement arm of the federal courts, they really do not have the jurisdiction to do much without court orders.

Wouldn't be surprised if these weren't actual Marshalls, but are part of the private security team that musk had deputized.

Are another two just off the top of my head.

But you gotta hand it to the guy, he took control of the most powerful nation the world has ever known

Eh, that's kinda feeding into the propaganda surrounding him. In reality the Russian Federation is just run by the people who scammed the most citizens from their ownership rights after the privatization of the Soviet state. Since the fall of the Soviet state, it's basically been pretending to be a world power by bullying smaller nations with the military it inherited.

His real talent is propagandizing and intimidating his way to the top of basically a government run by a mob.

it's pretty clear who's pulling the oompa-lumpas strings)

Again, I think this is exactly what they want you to think. I just think trump wants what Putin has, supreme power to whatever he wants, and a state where his cronies can do whatever they want so long as they are loyal. American oligarchs have been envious of Russian oligarchs for some time now.

This is going to be a hard pill to swallow for the Russian nationalist cosplaying as leftist on Lemmy......

More than likely possible depending on how they came up with valuations on old stock piles from the cold war. Depends on if you value them based on their original cost, or the modern cost to replace them.

Do you think it's a coincidence that fascist parties all over Europe are gaining traction at the same time, running on the same platforms, and offering the same solutions?

They are going to use the same play book being utilized in America in your country, if you don't know the playbook you are going to have the same problems.

Yeap, I just think trump went to Russia and liked how they did things. I think American billionaires see the government as a boss, and they think rich people shouldn't be able to be told no. They think if there is a hierarchy of power they should get to wield it to do the things they want to do, it shouldn't ever be wielded against them.

I think that's why he is generally bewildered when he is still told no, or held accountable, and why he's so vindictive when he's told no. He doesn't really understand why people are allowed to say no, in his head he's boss of America.

So when he sees Putin getting to do whatever he wants without any resistance, it makes sense to him, and he's jealous. If Putin is boss of Russia, why can't I be boss of America?

I'm saying they don't justify sanctions on the region, and that we've seen far worse.

Ahh, so the goal post has been moved... Your initial claim was that it was all propaganda, now it's that the abuse doesn't justify sanctions.

As I originally claimed, those who deny the abuse only do so utilizing logical fallacy. Glad we ironed that out.

2014 Chinese government reaction to be proportionate and reasonable, and that their investment in the last 5 years especially commendable.

Again, another goal post moved. Now you do not deny the abuse, you just think it's validated.

You are not arguing in good faith, it's always the same bullshit.

Well, judging by you prior post I shouldn't be surprised. I'm guessing your not even from Canada considering you penchant for Russian nationalism. Your English has improved in the last four months though, so you got that going for you.

Btw, just a tip. Refrain from utilizing the same negative descriptors E.G demonic, pig, nazi. It's a pretty dead giveaway that you're utilizing a second language.

I'm not a nationalist, I don't support America's foreign policy, nor can you change my opinion about other nations foreign policy. Plus, I'm pretty sure we're far enough down the thread where no one else is really looking, so you can drop the act if you wish too.

I'm mainly just curious, what region are you from? And do you actually make a living posting on here, or are you just doing this out of boredom?

wouldn't say native Americans have done as well as Uyghur, or received as much investment and job creation.

First of all, I think you are ignoring the actual abuse of human rights that occurred. Secondly, you haven't established that the Uyghur have received any actual benefit, you've just given statistics about the region, which they are no longer the majority ethnic group. I've already established that Han immigrants are the main benefactors of the government's investment in the region. Lastly utilizing job creation is not a metric for determining human rights abuse. Technically more natives have "employment" as we typically define it today, because there weren't jobs before. That doesn't mean the abuse is valid.

I would say that giving them all US land ownership is not an option to undo injustice

And no one made that claim..... I was using it as an example of how illogical your claim was.

Addressing your editorializing.

appreciate the distant history is imperfect, but there are so many worse "progroms" and minority dominance stories in history

Distant history? All of this is modern history....... The vast majority nof the immigration to the region happened in the 00's.

Just because there are worse examples of government sanctioned abuse towards minorities, does not mean we should defend or deny any kind of abuse. Should we not condemn the genocide in Gaza because at one point the Israeli experienced a greater genocide? What is the logic of this way of thinking?

this as yet another politicization of history for warmongering ammunition,

This is just history....attempting to rewrite or cover up historical events is the politicization of history.

the goal with zero consideration for peace and prosperity and contentment achieved by recent approach.

By this logic the genocide and assimilation of the native American population is entirely valid.

Your edit may be the most ethically devoid statement I've ever seen on this site. I think you really need to examine your moral compass.

You will call Chinese propaganda on this too, but plenty of youtube tourism

As I already said, the government has made massive efforts to assimilate the region and have pushed the majority native population away from major cities which are now being used for tourism.

YouTube tourist are not journalist, they are not members of international rights groups. They are still highly restrictive of travel to areas where the vast majority of where the native Uyghur populations were relocated to.

showing vibrant and prosperous region with luxury maintained Mosques.

Because that's what is traditionally important to cultural and religious heritage ...... luxury?

If Israel rebuilds the Great Mosque of Gaza and turns it into a "luxury Mosque" as a tourist attraction...would that be okay?

Note also that their success is despite the lying based demonism of sanctions on the region.

Again.....you have failed to establish that the accusations are lies. You have yet to make any kind of rebuttal that addresses any of the evidence I've posted.

I don't get how you can have such nationalist views of a country you have never been to, nor know any of the modern history.

Are you claiming that all ethnic prejudice in East Asia is propaganda, or just this particular case? I really don't understand how you can be so uncritical of the ethnic abuse in one country but not another.

If I was really just propagandizing for the west, wouldn't I be making excuses or trying to downplay the genocide occurring in Gaza? Please, just stop engaging in partisanship and use some critical thinking skills.

is there a news page that does NOT contain American politics?

I get the sentiment, but politics and news are irrefutably intertwined.

I feel for the victims, but only Americans can do something about it. And they never dealt with the "death penalty for walking on the street while black" problem.

I would argue this is a lot like people in France questioning why they should pay attention to Nazis invading Poland. Nearly all democratic nations are currently being subversively attacked by right winged political parties .

If people in your nation don't learn from the US's example, right winged parties will continue to grow in power.
