1. Tibet had a different language, culture, government than the Republic of China.

2. Didn’t say Tibet was a good nation, just an “other nation”.

Obama didn’t behave as weirdly as Biden. He facilitated neo-nazi’s taking control of Ukraine’s government and that prompted Russia to annex parts of Ukraine. The difference is that Obama behaved like is normal for an American president and it doesn’t seem like war was his goal, Biden behaved incomprehensibly and was either deliberately pushing for war to further his own political ambitions or he was too senile to know what he was doing.

It does say PRC in the heading, but you’d be forgiven for missing it.

South China Sea? Granted building a military base in another country’s waters isn’t technically an attack but … come on.

Also Tibet. Whether or not it was a legitimate “state” it was definitely an “other nation”.

UK and Poland are both European, but the UK has left the European Union and is clearly America’s plaything so we can safely exclude them from the category of “Europe”, while Poland sent so few troops it became a meme. Most of the European countries who sent troops did so only after a unanimous UN security council resolution, supported by both Russia and China.

Oh and Norway apparently committed military equipment, so there’s that.

As for opposition, my country’s prime minister has been couped for defying American foreign policy, and the leading opposition are deeply-ingrained America-sycophants. Practically speaking it’s unlikely that any opposition would succeed and even if it the most it would do is cause a mild inconvenience. The issue of Palestine is even more fraught than Iraq because of Epstein.

What is this referring to?

Europe didn’t even participate in the Iraq war, that’s a common misconception. It was just the US, UK, Australia, and Poland. And in Poland’s case they contributed just 200 troops. Sure just like with Palestine they didn’t actively oppose it meaningfully, but the Iraq war was like 90% American, 9% British, 0.5% Australian, and 0.05% Polish.

It was Biden that goaded Ukraine into flaunting it’s NATO ambitions while making it clear multiple times that America would not come to Ukraine’s aid. Europe is really being screwed here from both sides, on principle they support democracy and self-determination but they are entirely dependent on the Americans to stand up for that.

If a human didn’t write it, why should a human review it.

I’m thinking of getting myself a really unmanly hat, but my head’s too big so I can’t seem to buy any women’s ones.

This is the new angle the oil industry is pushing.

The world isn’t going to end due to climate change even if we do nothing, but it will become a much worse place to live and millions will die. When young people think humanity is doomed then they’re less likely to demand action because “it’s hopeless anyway”.

We need to push back against the narrative that all is already lost and nothing we do matters.

There are people who complain that people on food stamps can buy nice food on occasion, such as thanksgiving turkey. The joke here is just making their callousness clear.

That would be me. Exciting to see my masterpiece in the wild (if from a Lemmy reply to a Lemmy post counts as the wild).

Don’t use whataboutism to shirk your responsibilities. Recycling properly is a good and necessary thing. Though it’d be more effective to create less waste in the first place.

Why does the oven produce carbon monoxide? Who in their right fucking mind would want an oven that does that?

Looks like it. Time to humanize ChatGPT.

The slave trade was stopped not by trying to garner sympathy for the slaves, but for the slave traders dying at sea. Hard to get people to care about people who look different to them. Then again in the age of drone warfare I don’t think this can be applied “directly” to modern conflict.

Gen X jokes are all about domestic abuse.

Just because it’s correct doesn’t mean it’s correct.

Even if I do want something advertised, I’d search for it in a new tab.

I have zero confidence about putting my credit card info into an advertised site.
