If Pedro Sanchez values human rights, where has he been all the years when Iranians have been killed by their own regime? What did he say about genocidal politics against Uyghurs, Tibetans, Mongolians, and other minorities committed by a brutal regimes in China when seeking business there?
He doesn't need to stand up for fictional crimes.
Maybe, but the euros do their best to remove any "undeserving" people from accessing social benefits anyway
Just because the western media (who lied to you shamelessly about all their enemies) tells you a country is dictatorial or has bad human rights doesn't mean its actually true. Working with China makes sanchez more respectable, not less.
I would instead say that working with Europeans is somewhat shameful for China, since Europeans have shown themselves to be shameless murderers and butchers their constant middle eastern ears/genocides.
But I suppose at least their foreign policy of working with everyone is consistent
The Spanish position is not anti-American. It is not pro-Iranian. It is simply pro-law, pro-peace and anti-war.
Libs need to stop with this mealy mouthed both-sidesing. Picking the Iranian side in this conflict is the pro-peace and righteous side.
They didn't do shit besides exist without bowing their heads to American capital. Any domestic issues they had were also domestic issues that the west had.
Yet, as the European Union expert Alberto Alemanno recently wrote, "Europe backs a war it didn't start, won't fight, and can't afford. Washington gets the geopolitical prize. Europe gets the bill.” That bill will come due in higher energy prices, potential migration flows, terrorist threats and political instability on Europe's southern flank.
Why have some mfs started to talk about migration flows as some sort of major threat to europe? Because it will lead to higher population? I thought the euro bougies wanted more workers. Because it will lead to a resurgence in the far-right? Ship already sailed. Because it will reduce European wages? Also a ship that has been sailing for a long time now. Because make Europe less white? Lmao
If you aren't being sarcastic, it's not based because over a thousand Iranian civilians have killed already
Sufficiently motivated reasoning is indistinguishable from insanity
I don't even know what point you're trying to make anymore. Let's cut this thread honestly it's long enough.
"I genocided your brothers and bombed your schools and seiged you but please don't hit my military targets cause I put them in densely populated areas"
Your humanitarian principle requires everyone in the world to basically allow themselves to be attacked by America, it's European lapdogs and the zionist occupation.
From a legal and military standpoint your logic is simply absurd.
Reading comprehension curse strikes again
I have never once advocated for the deliberate targeting of civilians and have specified again and again that warfighting should be between militaries.
The implication here is: “You people are detached, soft, and incapable of understanding real war.”
No the implication is that westerners love killing civilians so much that they forget that wars are fought between militaries. I'll be more clear about this next time.
That’s not an argument. That’s a moral superiority pose.
You want an argument? It's trivial to give one. All western countries have been involved in warmongering in west asia since before I was born. There is full justification for any group in west asia to launch attacks on western military assets.
Even under international law (which western militaries refuse to follow), retaliating against military attacks is fully allowed. America and its zionist occupation of Palestine attacked Iran (military targets and civilians), and even inside its borders and capital city*. The Iranian state has every right to bomb any American military target, even if it were inside US border.
*this isn't the first time either. The Americans did this last year, and even in trump's 1rst term
minimizing the reality that modern warfare absolutely does kill civilians
Sure, there are civilians casualties from war. So should America be allowed to bomb and genocide whoever they want with no one fighting back?
Civilian harm is a central moral and legal issue in contemporary conflict. That’s not Western fragility. That’s international humanitarian law.
Lmao western militaries do not give a single fuck about civilians or collateral damage or international law. You really want to present the butchers of gaza as some sort of hippies in 2026?
BTW, this I'd a hard-core dem liberal sub that genuinely believes in trump when he says that Russia has lost 14 times as many soldiers as Ukraine this year.
I'm linking the thread because there are horrors beyond the comprehension in this thread.
The neoliberal subreddit is a true wellspring of comedy. Nowhere else on the Internet do you see such an awkward coexistence between incredulous radlibs and actual genuine fascists.
Context: Post says "flixbus in Belgium" (flixbus is a bus company). Video is of people running towards a moving flixbus and grabbing luggage from it. Very confusing and context free video. Who are these people? Why are they doing this?
This is the least racist thread on the post. Everything else is literally just "import third world, become third world" and "Africa deserved colonialism" type comments. Europeans really aren't going to beat the "we make the KKK look like hippies in comparison" allegations. I swear to God, recently I was starting to feel a little more hopeful towards Europeans and thinking that the continent isn't destined for a century of humiliation after they decided to turn towards China instead of the US. This single reddit post grabbed every fiber of optimism in my body and beat it to death in a German camp.
Also, do I have to link the post? I don't even want to go back to it ...
As long as the imperial core has its "hard currencies", how can world trade imbalances be resolved? As long as a trader can obtain profit by taking goods from a "cheap country" (one with lots of goods but little hard currency) and sell in a "expensive country" (less goods more hard currency), export-import imbalances will remain incentivised.
