So? Did the paint damage the planes? The RAF should give them an award for exposing the vulnerabilities in its security measures.

Stop calling it a war. It's a genocide, a planned massacre, pretty similar to what the Nazis were doing. For it to be a war, there would have to be two sides fighting which isn't the case.

All true

The Iranian people should rid themselves of that disgusting regime, but trust me, you wouldn't want to do that with the "help" of Israel

The Belgrano was a military ship, this one isn't. So even if you're right regarding military vessels, I doubt the same would hold for a civil one.

Is no one going to say or do anything about the fact that Israel illegally "intercepted" another ship in international waters?

Also arrested for what? They weren't even under Israeli jurisdiction when picked up.

Isn't it illegal to seize them in international waters?

Agree with you on that, as it is the situation just prolongs suffering in Ukraine. Europe and NATO should properly defend Ukraine, including with troops if necessary. In any case the fear of escalation is bs, because if Russia gets what it wants, it will not stop with Ukraine.

Completely agree on the security guarantees by UK and US and that it's fucked up they weren't upheld. When repeating Russia's talking points you should also point out that they're BS though. Who cares whether Russia wants that or not, Ukraine is a sovereign state and they can make their own decisions, just like other former UDSSR states.

It wasn't the case before Trump. What NATO push? Any country is free to decide what alliance it wants to belong to, Russia does not get to decide what its sovereign neighbouring states do.

Please don't dump Europe and the US together in this context. Neither of them has done as much as it should, I agree with you, but Europe has not turned any of its military aid into loans and it's not extorting Ukraine for its natural resources now. That's only the US and it's completely despicable.

What is that website? Smells like Russian propaganda to me. Lemmy seems to get overrun with ot lately, unfortunately.

It has no claim, who gives a fuck how many Russians live there. By that logic Luxembourg should be Portuguese.

That's wrong, first of all it's the central bank that controls money supply, which is independent from the government. In addition, even if the government could magically create all the money it needs to pay its debt, without borrowing more, it would completely devalue the dollar.
