The whole point of the EU is unanimous decision making.

Isn't the whole point of Balkanization to avoid mixed races?

References Euronews and the Atlantic. No bias here.

Meanwhile, Canadians happily continue to consume products from those same CEOs instead of finding reasonable alternatives where possible. Canada's big grocery chains are absolutely robbing people blind, but instead of going to local ethnic grocers, people continue to shop at the same places that continue to rob them.

In January 2021, the Trump administration designated Ansarallah as a terrorist organization.

In February 2021, the Biden administration removed Ansarallah's terrorist designation.

In January 2024, five months after releasing a statement "Welcoming Talks in Saudi Arabia Advancing Yemen’s Peace Process", the Biden administration again designated Ansarallah as a terrorist organization.

In the meantime, the UN brokered a ceasefire between Yemen and Saudi Arabia in April 2022, China brokered a rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran in March 2023, and peace talks are actively ongoing between Saudi Arabia and Yemen through Oman.

Could we have an actual source that isn't Igor Sushko and "Russian telegram channels?"

Get fucked oil producing garbage company

Venezuela's economic recovery under a strict regime of US sanctions has been awe-inspiring.

COSCO has been very explicit about how they are complying with Yemeni sanctions. How, exactly, is that running a blockade?

The US has like infinite oil

Except, again, they clearly haven't because COSCO literally just transited it.

The world economy can survive without Israel, as COSCO has plainly demonstrated.

That's sort of the goal of sanctions.

China has remarkably low oil reserves for a country of it's size. One of the biggest consumers of oil are automobiles... Which is why China is simultaneously developing EVs at a breakneck pace and developing the necessary power generation tech to support a massive increase in electricity demand.

And yet, COSCO is still transiting Bab-el-Mandeb.

The US doesn't want to switch to renewables for national security reasons. Funnily enough, national security is also a big reason why China DOES want to switch to renewables.

Aren't they operated by Hapag Lloyd, which both maintains a Two Aviv office and is currently still shipping to Israel?

Enforcement of sanctions is a legitimate use of AIS. Evasion of sanctions is subject to the appropriate risks.

Name one.

Globalization sort of means that a lot of ships and shipping companies are relevant to the Israelis.

Edit: if you name a ship that was struck with AIS off... There's a reason it's a violation of international law to turn off AIS. People might think you're trying to avoid sanctions, or something.

I have never in my life been happier than I am right now.

Fuck methane, fuck the absolute garbage regulation around methane emissions in the West, and bless the EPA for trying to do something about it.

The only good refinery is a dead refinery.

Evidence?
