I remember hee saying she didn’t have anyone specific in mind

The graph is really telling. More sanction than ever and the US has maybe never seen it’s enemies and nonaligned states more cooperative (atleast since the days of the USSR although that’s debatable). This is probably the biggest shortcoming of the Biden admin foreign policy, the rise of BRICS and stuff like that.

ETA: biggest shortcoming strategically not morally, that would be Gaza obviously.

Berlin police have confirmed that a 13-year-old was detained “on suspicion of insult,” which is a criminal offence under German law.

Dawg…

Same as it ever was (ever meaning the past 2 years atleast).

It would still take months to build a detonator though.

I genuinely do not care who owns the factory as long as it creates jobs.

Those were the Sweden rape charges and that was actually 2010. He went to the embassy in 2012. The Trump admin charged him under the Espionage Act in 2018.

Assange thought it was win favor with Trump and maybe get him a pardon.

??? The emails were leaked before any charges were filed. The Trump admin filed the charges. Ultimately the Biden admin cut him a deal. Obama or other democrats didn’t seem to want to charge him.

Seeing as it was just patched together from other releases with Russian disinfo laced in between - it should have been removed a long time ago.

Could you show what specifically was fake?

BRICS is less about alliances, in fact the UAE and Iran are enemies to the level of the US and Russia. It’s more about reducing the influence of Western sections on global politics. Basically anyone not reliant on the West financially would benefit from joining BRICS since it reduces the leverage the West has over them.

ETA: it’s a similar concept to OPEC where many countries are outright enemies.

It’s definitely “why” they want to put him in jail regardless of what anti-journalism charges they hit him with.

Why do people keep saying this? It doesn’t even make sense. Why would the Russians give Assange the RNC emails if they didn’t want them to be published? There is no evidence that I can find that the RNC emails were ever given to anyone.

So the argument from Assange was that all relevant information from the cache was already public from previous publication. The entire cache was public when FP published the article you’re referring to so they could have pointed out what was actually worth reporting if there was anything.

Here’s the article for everyone else:

https://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/17/wikileaks-turned-down-leaks-on-russian-government-during-u-s-presidential-campaign/

The point about the 2012 Syria emails is more interesting, but the whole point about Wikileaks running cover for Russia never made a lot of sense to me since they have published damaging info about Russia.

ETA: I’d be remiss not to mention that the discussion of Assange’s biases is a red herring to the real problem which is the US’s attempt to criminalize publication of state secrets.

Whatever you think of Assange, you should know why the US government wants to prosecute him. He published this among other things:

Context: that’s a US gunship firing on Reuters journalists among other civilians including kids.

Let’s be even more specific. Sweden has a history of looking the other way on US extraordinary rendition:

The men were later subjected to torture.

It’s definitely insufficient as a condemnation, but it does seem like he’s implying that Navalny was killed for political reasons?

Is there a reason they can’t use a conventional warhead to destroy a satellite? Even if they wanted to use it to attack a surface there isn’t a lot of evidence that a normal ICBM can be reliably intercepted so I doubt them being in space will change much.

Edit: *surface target

Thanks for the explanation and the other background from the first post.

Would you say that the issue of reunification vs independence isn’t as important of an issue to voters as western media makes it out to be? I remember it being portrayed as the single issue in the run up to the election.

Yeah, Iran has a bad habit of waiting until these groups become powerful independently and then slyly trying to take credit for it after the fact. The US amplifying these claims to try to demonize these groups usually just makes them more popular especially in Shia majority areas.

It’ll take some doing for Russia to reach the near-zero levels of credibility Europe has with Africans, but a prolonged military presence should help with that.

All Israel has to do is publish their evidence and these questions go away. If 190 members are militants then surely they have some evidence that won’t compromise their sources and methods.
