Right now, we have a Democrat president. He is the man with the power - and therefore the responsibility - to condemn any atrocities commited. And what is he doing? In every speech he makes, he is openly supporting Israel and its policies. And he doesn’t just stop at words, he supports a gigantic aid package for Israel as well.
There is nothing “higher” in the genocide-supporter-olympics.
Yes, I can fully agree with that. However, with these and other incidents by now, can we stop acting like Zelensky possesses some kind of intrinsic moral high ground? He’s doing his best to secure further military and economic support for the war, and he’s implicitly or openly supporting genocidal regimes in order to do so. As you said, he’s trying to achieve his goals through whatever means are necessary. I’m just tired of pretending that he’s some sort of saint.
I also take issue with your implication that further arms deals and military funding = best for Ukraine. I really cannot see a world where continuing to fight on (with no clear end in sight) is better than making territorial concessions and beginning to rebuild the wrecked nation.
Palestinians are fighting a defensive war against the occupation of their territory that has been steadily progressing since 1948.
Ukrainians are (reportedly) fighting a defensive war against the occupation of their territory. (I would dispute that fact somewhat, but that s a whole another can of worms).
That’s the reason for me saying you got the sides switched.
His own country could also be considered to fight against illegal occupants violating their territorial integrity. I really feel like you got the sides switched on this one, chief.
Hey, any quick recommendations you’d have for Marrakesh? Going there in a couple of weeks and I only managed to find out about the most popular spots so far.
Honestly insane how tight the margins can get in this sport. Great graphic!
I believe it’s ‘only’ a one-race ban when you go over the limit of 12 points; not sure whether there are some more severe penalties for repeat offenders.
Seems like the timing of the SC essentially made it so that apart from a few unfortunate cars who came in early, the order is largely gonna stay the same, cause everyone is pitting. Oh well.
I’m not a fan of the team or the drivers, really, but it’s always great to see teams stepping it up. Hoping for a competitive next season!
It’s a shame about AM, feels like they have fallen off in these two last races.
Should only make it easier to target this individual, right?
