saddened is probably more likely since most ukranians were led to believe that they coulld join nato and things would be better.

it’s only those of use either inside the imperial core of nato or completely outside of nato who can see its decline just the same; those at the periphery are unware that they’re the cannon fodder that the american empire uses to conqueror others like russia or china.

they’re just as well funded, connected, and supported as isreali zionists; they have the means to see this and already know.

i used to believe in this; but then i learned the hard way that old/opaque code is gross game of hot potato where you will pay the price if your social standing in your organization isn’t privileged enough.

They’re trying to figure out how to ban it since it’s open sourced.

If the American government can exert control oover the Linux kernel, they can do the same to deepseek.

This.

The leftist instances have a good mix of leftists and liberals that are brave enough to do what they’re told not to do.

it’s always about the $$$ when it comes to africa.

That explains A LOT!!! Lol

Yes: it was either the “war on drugs” or the Monroe doctrine

difference is that now they don’t have to invent a reason like iraqi wmd’s

the point is moot however, the colombians have already caved like the americans wanted them to.

the archive version link seems to show a different article that doesn’t mention russia at all; maybe it’s the wrong link?

the former is always confused for the latter; especially on lemmy.

The government tried to address the issue by lowering the mobilisation age to 25 from 27 and introducing tougher rules for those evading the call-up. But it has so far resisted lowering the mobilisation age further to boost manpower.

meanwhile, in the american empire, we send adult sized children at 18 who are not yet old enough to drink alcohol or rent a car to commit terrible violence in in places like the middle east or latin america and no one bats a single eye.

🤦

petro is not wrong; but he’s given the americans full blessings to regime change colombia and absolutely no one in the west will come to his aid; not even his fellow latin americans out of fear of pissing off the americans.

PLEASE prove me wrong!!!

I can speak on immigrants from Central America because we sponsored 7 families (aunts & uncles) growing up and I ended up going to school w my cousins who didn’t speak English.

They did REALLY well in science, math, physics, biology, history & sociology because the schools that they came from had significantly higher standards, so they coasted until the American students caught up to them years later; but did poorly w literature, English, social studies, & civics for obvious reasons. (I grew up in small town USA and the racist teachers tried to fail some of them, but couldn’t since their excellent grades in the hard sciences made up for their failure grades in the soft sciences). (They also got into more fights at school by the racist bullies).

They were young enough so that they were completely fluent in English by the time they graduated high school and I hope that I likewise can become fluent in Spanish when I emigrate after the American fascists ruin everything.

Aleast now we know how netanyahu will escape justice

i can understand your confusion: actions speak louder than words; so break it down based on what they did (not what they said) to make it make sense:

1. trump tries to ban tiktok and fails
2. biden, democrats & republicans try to ban tiktok and they succeed
3. tiktok goes dark because it is banned
4. trump promises to issue an executive order to save tiktok and follows through
5. tiktok is back, but now has to depend on trump for its survival so it’ll do whatever trump wants
