And yet the US will try anyway. Denmark and Greenland called their deal with the US necessary to buy time but as a Canadian it was a short sighted call that invites far worse US trouble. Denmark and Greenland should have put their foot down.
What a silly statement. Forest fires always happen even in the most sustainable ecological context. Hubris and soundbites. Sigh
Most dont realize the House of Saud invaded Mecca and Medina to occupy it, they didn’t get it out of some benevolent religious process.
Edit: in fact they allied with extremist tribes that believed in a literal reading of the Quran and when they took over mecca they aggressively removed the pluralist, multi-school institutions and the indigenous practitioners which were much more allegorical in their reading. Fast forward today and most Islamic groups have been pushed further to the extreme as a result.
You are quite right except that most dont know the houthis practice a unique version of Islam that is neither sunni nor shiite. Saudi Arabia has been trying to colonize them for generations now in part because Saudi Arabia wants to dictate Islam. They court Iranian support not because of religion but because Yemen has been facing Saudi pressure for ages now.
Nah mass consciousness is on the rise. In my home province a few years ago the government tried to ban collective bargaining for custodian services to which the province responded with a planned general strike. It won, the government immediately backed down. We do have power. We just forget that until we dont.

We are the next great mass extinction event and in some ways our impact is already faster (and this far in, harder) than most of our previous mass extinction events. But hey, billionaires need a few more yachts and need endless growth even if it literally kills the planet. So thats a price we are willing to pay for them. We should be rioting.
Sadly Iran’s military and Islamic extremists have even greater grip than they did before the war started. Good job yankees.
Hes retiring, and he was one of the few to openly call out Trump. Id save your energy for attacking GOP or militant centrist dems.
Gut wrenching stories of violence and genocide DAILY. Its disgusting. The worlds everyday person is waking up, but too many governments cozy up to this fascism.
I mean. Did they try making sure billionaires get more while continuing to deprive the working class?
Centrist governments the world over, creating fertile grounds for fascist swings. Because centrists protect wealth inequality. Which is a tragedy of course because these fascist swings make wealth inequality even worse.

You are! Because you attacked the right of Ukraine to raise the funds needed to strike the aggressor: russia. Besides the US gives very little aid anyway. If you are not European then you have zero right to criticize where their aid goes.
I highly recommend this piece on Avi Lewis and how this isnt about Israelis or jews, but zionism. https://lemmy.ca/post/71680208
A) that is for American Jews. B) is says 90% support Israeli people, not actions of the state. The rest of the report gives mixed signals.
Some Israelis are Palestinian Arabs/Muslims. The issue isnt people born in Israel either. The issue is zionism which is a genocidal campaign.
Sources please. Jews of conscience are sizeable and growing.
Probably because his attacking Canada and EU military projects and demanding subserviance, meanwhile they are losing a war to Iran and emptied their stockpiles. US weapons are exposed as pork barrel tools of corruption and they need new buyers.
Performative, pathetic. Its not like they can deny it.
The genocide continues. Palestine is being systematically erased.
Ongoing ethnic cleansing. Nothing is stopping them.
