The US doesn’t have small enough nuclear penetrators to even try hiding something anyway, they can use tactical warheads as bunker busters but they can’t be meaningfully hidden. Meanwhile all these Iranian installations have been built with conventional bunker busters in mind so the existing American GBUs that must have been used may not have caused much real damage after all even if they double tapped the exact same spot.
What does this have to do with enforcing IP law supposedly being corruption? Greece does something messed up but aligned with the EU overlords = let’s bring out the irrelevant corruption stereotype anyway.
Otherwise yeah I’m familiar with the neoliberal domestic Greek narrative and how public servants were this massive financial black hole therefore the exact same measures as Elon Musk’s DOGE were necessary. Very popular measures, in fact you mentioned crumbling infrastructure but that’s also when the public railroads were sold because public owned infrastructure bad, foreign investments good. Aren’t you talking about the train disaster? Similar derailments happened after Thatcher sold off the Brit railways in the 80s. But that’s not an example of neoliberalism wrecking something, it’s some vague theory of Greeks being corrupt imperial subjects under the Ottoman Empire (how does that work) and therefore corporations aren’t to blame? What?
Of course it’s capitalism and not some unique Greek defect, countries with issues don’t have issues because somehow they’re not good enough for capitalism. Are all the other former Ottoman provinces doing great? Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Cyprus? What’s the common factor there, cronyism? Or all becoming western colonies and protectorates?
We can check what happened to all these areas after WWII including Greece and how Greece is so special. Special enough to be invaded by the Brits after the liberation, getting into a bloody civil war that included the Americans dropping napalm on the Greek rebels because Churchill couldn’t accept Greece possibly becoming socialist, governments full of nazi collaborators and far righters with full western support, the ancestors of the current ruling party distributimg the Marshal Plan money among the western collaborators while people starved, exiling hundreds of thousands in the eastern bloc, concentration camps for communists until 1975 again with full western tolerance. Then lots of loans by the 1980s lukewarm socialist governments because the right wingers couldn’t tax the shipping magnates and other capitalist parasites for decades and there was no money for any socialized infrastructure.
Of course the usual Greek narratives only start in the 80s because that’s the right wing view that primarily runs things there.
But nah it’s not western imperialism and capitalism that has any effects exactly like the entire region because Greeks are specially corrupt. Can’t criticize the overlords, gotta blame the people.
You really wrote that without an ounce of understanding what “corruption” means. Not enforcing EU directives would be called corruption by the EU goons, member states are fined when they disobey and its primarily the RIAA based in the US that makes all the fuss about DRM and IP so who are you wagging the finger to? It’s American financial interests being enforced but a country is supposedly corrupt for not trying to be some kind of IP law rogue? Inside the EU? The current Greek government is rabidly pro-west, pro-EU and pro-NATO so if being the most obedient to the overlords is corrupt then what is the uncorrupt alternative here exactly?
There isn’t one. It’s just the usual yuropian chauvinist garbage about every other place that isn’t western Europe being inherently inferior. All of southern Europe is “corrupt” instead of “the EU is basically the German Union” just like “Africans are having too many kids” instead of “neo-colonialism is real”.
Oh you mean capitalist inequality magnified by enforced EU neoliberal policies? Damn, if only some people wouldn’t be “corrupt” then capitalism in the periphery would work like clockwork. Totally the fault of some people not doing it right, nothing at all to do with enforced austerity. ND enforcing IP laws along with everything else that the EU commands is corruption yes.
The weird thing here is the implication of data collection for a decade, which I really don’t think is covered by any law.
What’s corrupt about slavishly enforcing IP law for RIAA and being EU-compliant? That’s the exact opposite of corruption but yeah bring back chauvinist westeuro “Greeks are lazy and don’t pay their taxes” propaganda from 2010 like it’s relevant to anything.
Acting like constantly expanding NATO to Russia’s border and trying to get an upper hand for a possible first strike in a nuclear exchange by stationing Murican nukes there is “west defending from possible eastern aggression” while trying to justify one more “defensive preemptive strike” in the Middle East because Eglin cheeto eaters can’t ever be consistent. Pipe down and stay in your hemisphere you trash heap unless you want to explain how Crimea somehow didn’t have a valid referendum because Murican State Department doesn’t like the results as if they know anything about Crimea (must be magic how Russia doesn’t need to do much policing in an area that supposedly doesn’t really want to belong to Russia, no resistance to “occupation” at all) but Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, Puerto Rico, Guantanamo in Cuba, the Virgin Islands are parts of the USA. Or how the USA is justified invading the entire Caribbean for a whole century without any foreign superpower trying to put nukes there, just because the US is an imperialist entity into constant landgrabs.

What’s this btw? Is it the US directly interfering in Ukrainian politics to set up their puppets for over 10 years? I bet you shills want everyone to forget about that. Gtfo lol.
Iran also does not have a plausible defense purpose for nuclear weapons. If they think the US or Israel would wage war to topple the Iranian state, wouldn’t those countries have done it already over the past 50 years?
Shills straight up denying not just reality but the events they’re spewing propaganda about. Gotta love the gung ho 15 year old attitude by people who have managed to lose every engagement they had in Asia since 1945 with even that mostly because they didn’t have to worry about the other axis countries. Ever thank China and USSR fot taking care of Japan on the mainland while you were busy drowning and flapping about in the Pacific? No, you recruited Unit 731 criminals instead.
Anyway reminder for delulu revisionists like you, you tried to dunk on Korea already back when “their regional partner” was vastly weaker than now and failed miserably. You’d have tried it if failing again wasn’t inevitable. That’s why NK has nukes, not because you supposedly allowed them to have them or were neglectful lmao.
Didn’t realize the US is planning to invade Florida.
It’s the perspective of “I prefer Israel over Iran while white American” but switch that to being Palestinian and I doubt they’d remain pro-Israel. Not that white Americans are loved exactly because Israelis are genocidal racists and supremacists to a disgustingly high percentage, they just don’t commit (many) crimes against US citizens. Just occasionally kill pro-Palestinian US activists and attack US ships like SS Liberty to do a false flag against Egypt.
I’m applying your own logic to yourself and apparently the implied answer is “if others won’t do it then why should I”. Which circles back to you. Since you’re not going to invade Iran personally you don’t get to challenge others to do things you don’t intend to do. Not that I see anyone here challenging you to invade or move to Russia anyway.
People who don’t like Murica should move to Iran like you’re going to join the army today to personally fight the war that you support right? You’re not just being an armchair general, right? You’re gonna actually get on that ship and invade Iran, right?
Psychosis: managing to suggest that I didn’t ask any questions after I asked several dozen on purpose lol.
Try answering even one before you continue your mini incoherent script about “imperialism” and “colonialism” that entirely “coincidentally” is about religious extremists and separatists thar your heart bleeds for while you act like their compatriots who aren’t literal jihadis and don’t want anything to do with them don’t exist.
Is it up to westies like you (but it’s really your state department and intelligence services writing the crappy propaganda) to artificially blame some supposedly non-Tibetan central PRC of destroying Tibetan culture as if all Tibetans are united in favor of brainwashing kids? You sure? You act like it so prove it dude. Prove that there are no Tibetans that want to stop the religious and lowkey political indoctrination of children. Let’s see you completely fail to prove any of your bs.
Not that you can make any argument whatsoever here, you just misuse the words imperialism and colonialism, ignoring that Tibetans themselves may be against religious extremism in their own culture and that’s none of your business. Although even if they were all united and in favor of some messed up cultural practice that doesn’t mean that everyone should respect it and allow it to continue. Like, you know, abolishing slavery despite it being “the culture of the South”. You suggested peaceful means so slavery should have continued indefinitely because liberating slaves would be “imperialism” and “colonialism” to shills like you.
You’re pretty much the shill type who also whines about Confederate general statues being removed as “cultural destruction”.
Go on, let’s see your proof that all Tibetans want to maintain feudal practices and indoctrination of kids by often politically motivated monks. We all know you’re orientalists af and keep imagining Asians etc as eternally feudal rustic peasants that behave like crappy characters in kungfu films that can’t possibly be secular or want modernization of their own culture that includes human rights. Tibetans themselves can’t possibly want their sons and daughters to be educated, they definitely all want them to be just monks and farmers. We know about your orientalism as well as we know that the USA has been using “religious persecution” for decades as whataboutism against socialist states while intentionally funding the most extreme of them to create astroturfed separatist movements and destabilize sovereign nations. Prevent religious extremism? You’re “imperialist” and “colonialist” lmao. Leave them alone? Enjoy a radical right fanatical separatist movement backed by the west. That’s the rotten propaganda you’re shilling for and the reason you have zero arguments so you resort to “leninist” and other weasely crap to poison the well like a good little propagandist.
So go on, where’s your proof? Got any?
Oh yeah the standard comparison between western liberal republics versus “theocracies” and “single party system totalitarian regimes”. Meanwhile most of NATO is still nominally ruled by hereditary monarchies (the United Kingdom of King Charlie that still doesn’t have an official constitution isn’t just England, Wales and Scotland, it includes Canada, Australia and a ton of former colonies abroad), socially progressive key allies in Scandinavia that make bag from arms manufacturing are almost all still ruled by kings, the USA itself only introduced a presidential term limitation after Roosevelt did four consecutive terms but act like this is now abnormal universally as if all countries have or should have term limits, the few Catholic majority allies like Spain, Portugal and Italy have the Pope as their spiritual supreme leader that has his own private sovereign country with his private army, bank, intelligence services and religious-fascist organizations internationally like Opus Dei that infiltrate governments and have vast political and economic activities etc, not to mention that the Vatican has never seen any repercussions for sheltering and aiding Nazis after WWII, all of whom sought refuge in CIA backed South American dictatorships or “liberal democratic monarchies-colonies” like Canada and Australia etc.
Somehow the US constantly tries to export democracy in every other place except its own allies that need it the most. There are even tax havens (global financial crime hotspots) like Monaco and nobody cares about the lack of democracy there. It’s a tragedy that Murica cares so much for the world that all these allies must wait until they also get some democracy. It’s an absolute tragedy.
Can you imagine someone ever saying that the Vatican is a theocracy? It literally is though. Or that Saudi Arabia or Brunei aren’t democracies? That’s easier. But try saying that Denmark and the Netherlands are also monarchies? Or that Iceland had to gain independence because it was basically a colony? Unthinkable. So it seems it’s perfectly fine having any system you want as long as you’re a US lapdog.
We could also think about Northern Ireland and why Murica doesn’t invade to liberate the Irish from the illegal Brit occupation, that would be even funnier since apparently Brits oppose landgrabs and imperialism on principle and since always hence why they got so involved in expanding NATO in Ukraine and opposed bad unfree capitalist republic no-monarchy Russia.
“The posts have sparked outrage among pro-foreign nation circles in Washington.” Can’t think of any other US ally including the no. 1 lapdog UK that would ever receive this royal treatment.
Having state enforced national narratives of unjust persecution (towards Israel, not just real historical anti-Semitism), blaming others for everything going badly, dehumanizing adversaries etc is bound to create this type of almost delulu social narcissism. “I’m the greatest victim” is the textbook manifestation of vulnerable subtype of narcissism. I wouldn’t pathologize a whole society normally but the overwhelming support for the ongoing genocide means at least functionally inhibited or reduced empathy and we need to learn from this.
Shift over?
More language issues, keyboard combat related stroke imminent. No great mind will be lost though.
Where are the nafo chodes to point out that NATO “is a defensive alliance what’s wrong with defense why not expand it everywhere to protect people XD”?
