Global Events & Politics Überthread

Their efforts for since 2014 haven't moved the needle that much. The whole world is now run by Oligarchs. Some countries are just more open about it.

We just had one guy pump 400M+ to steal an election in the US. Too soon for you?

Since 2014 no president has built a palace like this. That is a form of progress. Anyhow when Putin is sent to the gallows, I hope you can get a choice seat to enjoy your meal. Bon appetit. Don't forget to pack some silverware. And some ketchup for sturg.

Neo Con/Libs always do this. Who knows what happens after Putin. Maybe the replacement is even worse.

I think it’s safe to say if the uni party screams one thing America should be doi mg the opposite.
 
"First of all, it's not fair," Maher said. "If they weren't White, I feel like we'd call that racism, you know. To lump everybody together -- not every, I mean, a lot of the Russian people don't know what's going on."

Maher nailed it. Clear racism is showing in a certain two posters here.

I’m missing the context here, but if Maher is referencing negative actions toward Russian citizens or people of Russian descent, he’s very correct that it’s wrong.

That is the context - Its been very easy to demonize Russians in this conflict and its because of the color of their skin and the religion they practice.

Biden and Xi Jinping discussed the Russian-Ukrainian war.

This is their first conversation in several months.

Beijing stressed that the war in Ukraine is in "no one’s interest"

According to Chinese medias Xi said that “state-to-state relations

cannot go to the stage of military hostilities" and that

"the Ukraine crisis is not something we want to see."

Xi Jinping also told Biden that China and the U.S. should

"work for world peace and tranquility"

In other words, our economies are too closely linked for us to end up on opposite sides of a war without dire consequences to both.
 
I dont mind seeing pro Putin people--Russian and non Russian--being held to account. Enablers like Gerhard Schroder should go through a few things.

I agree with this as well, provided it’s not through violating the First Amendment in any way. There’s a difference between Russians and Putin sympathizers. I have no problems with taking the latter to task.
 
Putin sympathizers still have rights if they are Americans. Now if the sympathizers are committing crimes or engaging in activities that damage the United States then I’m on board.
 
According to FT and Axios Biden got his ass handed to him.

WH in crisis mode complaining about Axios releasing 'unconfirmed' reporting and taking hours to release a read-out.

We are being led by absolute morons who are allowing the world to devolve into chaos.

And they didn't even legally win the election. Crazy eh?
 
Until we fully sanction the CCP Putin is going to get whatever he wants.

Now about that Hunter Biden laptop showing they are fully compromised.....

Like I said, as long as we don’t violate the First Amendment…
