The President of Finland actually went a little off script

Rare Finland W
Show threadArthur BesseFeb 28

Also the President of Spain says (firefox translated) “We reject the unilateral military action of the U.S. and Israel, which is an escalation and contributes to a more uncertain and hostile international order.” but then goes on to also reject Iran’s (unspecified) actions.

Like Finland’s it’s a pretty tame condemnation, but noteworthy coming from NATO member states.

Don’t like the both sides stuff at the end but it’s something. As for the rest of Europe…

Is there really any solid proof of a nuclear WEAPONS programme in Iran? I may well have missed any proof of a ballistic missile programme, but I am quite sure there is no solid proof of a nuclear one.

Anyway, asking those more informed than me.

After screeching for 4 years straight about Russia’s unprovoked all out invasion, that’s certainly an interesting position to take.
Show threadHiddenLayer555Feb 28

No? They were always more concerned with the races of participants in war, they never gave a shit about the existence of war itself. As soon as Russia invaded they jumped at the chance to say they’re Asiatic orcish barbarians and were more concerned with people potentially mistaking Russians for whites (asserting that Ukraine is unambiguously white and Russia are unambiguously not, remember that “this really makes me sad because we’re seeing blond hair blue eyed people getting attacked for the first time in ages” line some EU representative said?). Of course they would uncriticaly support whites killing brown people. White makes right.

Look at their response to the US attacks on Venezuela or the unproven drug boats, or starving of Cuba, or Israeli attacks on Palestine.

I know Americans love to speak about race all day, but Russian aggression 500km from your home is more concerning than American aggression 5.000km, including an ocean, away. Especially when Russia already was preparing to claim the next land (baltics, even Poland and Finland).
Show threadHiddenLayer555Mar 2
That might make sense if the EU just didn’t acknowledge the American aggression. But they did acknowledge it and doubled down on supporting the US, and how “Venezuela/Cuba/Iran deserved it, actually.” Sure seems like they’re only against Russian aggression because it affects them, and they’re completely supportive of white aggression against everyone else.

Supporting or acknowledging the facts and calling for calm?

Tell me: what are the reasons Russia would want to invade Poland or Finland?

Europe actively joined in bombing Yugoslavia. The problem is never about distance to home, it’s about how to be servile to the Yanks.

Europe wasn’t targeting civilians and trying to annex Yugoslavia. Guess what?

Iraq wasn’t nato, it was US and UK. European wars are a mixed bag, like most countries. Russia does murder civilians all day, the thing is Ukraine has much better defenses than Iraq.
Show threadRiversideMar 2
Iraq wasn’t NATO, it was just a coalition made entirely of NATO nations :D

Oh, fun! It was also a coalition of nations starting with the letter U. Now your turn!

Surely training exercises on invaded territory in which you train forces locally have nothing to do with the invasion :)

Yep all European takes when America or Israel do something blatantly power grabbing and illegal (as if that matters) are wishy wishy statements that end up supporting the blatant imperialism.

  • EU, not Europe.

And there are mixed messages across Europe. It’s not unilateral condemnation by any means.

Did not expect anything else from Frau Genocide or our pathetic European leaders. Glad that Francesca Albanese’s position is more popular. Who exactly do these invertebrates in the EU parliament represent? Because it’s clearly not the people.

“-- is not leadership: it’s escalation”

You know what I hate with a passion? AI speak.

Show threadmirshafieMar 2

I hate that proper syntax is now somehow AI speak.

I think Francesca Albanese is just a reader. Readers tend to know how to write.

Show threadlumettariaMar 2
That’s probably exactly why AI speaks like that, since it’s been trained on troves of literature. It’s a common structure so it adopted it to repeat ad nauseum.
Show threadmirshafieMar 2
Yes, but it also helps the reader. There’s a reason why literature is written in that way.
Show threadPolandIsAStateOfMindMar 2
It’s not AI speak, it’s EU speak that AI learned from them.

I’m pretty sure “it’s not a; it’s b” is not specifically EU speak but it is something ChatGPT loves to overuse and it’s a great litmus test to spot the rot
