MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Bolsonaro and Allies Planned a Coup, Brazil Police Say273·2 years agoThere’s record of ex-White House chief strategist Steve Bannon playing a role in orchestrating the coup. Tell me more about how America isn’t intervening in foreign democracies.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Canadians won't be fooled by Putin propaganda on Ukraine, Trudeau says1610·2 years agoPutin propaganda like “Canadian MPs clapped for a Nazi,” which definitely didn’t happen.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Hidden prison labor web linked to foods from Target, Walmart4·2 years agoAs a Canadian, the fact that it took until the 90s to close the last residential school gives me little faith that the US will make tangible moves to end slavery in this century.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•President Biden holds country supplying weapons responsible for casualties inflicted by those weapons12·2 years agoBiden’s had no more regard for the intended role of the executive branch than Trump, he’s just less openly antagonistic about it. Trump openly derides the system, while Biden just quietly whips it into line.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•President Biden holds country supplying weapons responsible for casualties inflicted by those weapons65·2 years agoThis is from the same President that slurred “womenofamerica” at a rally, so I guess it’s understandable he would confuse being responsible for being responsible.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•No U.S. threat to Iran will go unanswered, Tehran says389·2 years agoThe US wanted to strike Iranian targets without retaliation in order to not lose face globally. Tehran says no. If I were serving on a US military base in the Middle East, I’d be looking for ways to take leave because things are about to get hot.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•How the enemy drone that killed 3 US soldiers in Jordan evaded detection71·2 years agoAn absolute failure of the IFF system of US AD.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Hamas bigwig rejects 2-state solution, says Oct. 7 ‘revived dream to free Palestine’213·2 years agoI mean I too would not be happy about a two-state solution with a “state” that’s releasing snuff films of my people.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Innocent civilian brandishing white flag in Gaza 'safe zone' is shot dead in the street after interview722·2 years agoNobody wants to enter into a hot war with the US. Without Western support, Israel would be in a pickle right now.
Hezbollah Hits IDF Airbase in Northern Israel for Second Time in Two Weeks
Iran’s IRGC says 5 members killed in Israeli attack on Syria’s Damascus
Jordan accuses Israel of deliberately targeting its Gaza field hospital
Israel has comprehensively pissed off all of its neighbours. It knows it can get away with it too, because daddy US will always be there to support them.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Palestinians in Ukraine decry ‘double standard’ as Kyiv supports Israel1223·2 years agoIsrael is more closely aligned with the US than Palestine. It’s nothing personal.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•US urges China to help curb Red Sea attacks by Iran-backed Houthis162·2 years agoGiven that ships are reporting ties to China to avoid getting targeted and state-owned COSCO has stopped serving Israel in exchange for Red Sea transit, I’m not really sure what pressure the US hopes to apply here.
China doesn’t care about the Houthis because they’re not interrupting Chinese trade.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison joins American Global Strategies62·2 years agoAustralia, under Morrison, joined AUKUS in September of 2021. At the time, O’Brien was national security advisor and Gray was a member of the national security council.
Morrison now works alongside O’Brien and Gray at AGS.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Former Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison joins American Global Strategies52·2 years agoAGS delivers unparalleled expertise for its clients by assessing the global political environment and devising strategies to navigate international and domestic challenges. Founded by Trump-era former U.S. National Security Advisor Ambassador Robert C. O’Brien and former National Security Council Chief of Staff Alexander B. Gray, the firm has assembled a leading team of experts with experience at the White House, State Department, and Pentagon.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•China urges UN to support two-state solution and Palestine's full membership154·2 years agoChina is sending aid to Gaza, is pressuring regional partners to stop infighting, and Chinese weapons are “accidentally” ending up in Palestinian hands. Chinese shipping is blatantly showcasing the viability of Yemen’s sanctions by restricting shipments to Israel in exchange for transiting the Red Sea (putting the ships at risk of getting caught in a US/UK strike). China, in general, has a policy off no-military-intervention outside of it’s immediate vicinity and hasn’t fired ammunition at an enemy since the fall of the Soviiet Union, and hasn’t fought at scale since 1979. China does not express its power with “who has a bigger stick.”
Are we also forgetting that China mediated the Iran-KSA rapprochement, which had direct implications on the Israel-KSA relationship?
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•North Korea training, providing weapons to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Houthis5·2 years agoYes, but think of the headline.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksOPto World News@lemmy.ml•Paris dismisses Russian claim of French 'mercenaries' in Ukraine3·2 years agoRussia also hasn’t been shy about it
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Houthi official promises safe passage for Russian, Chinese ships through Red sea62·2 years agoAl Asrah and Srinda both turned off AIS IIRC. There’s a reason you’re not supposed to turn off AIS: it implies that you’re trying to circumvent sanctions. Russian ships, for example, would turn off AIS and transfer oil to non-Russian ships.
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Pakistan decides to fully restore ties with Iran61·2 years agoRegional war averted
MarcoPOLO@sh.itjust.worksto World News@lemmy.ml•Houthi official promises safe passage for Russian, Chinese ships through Red sea104·2 years agoIf you’re going to spread misinformation, at least research it properly.
Every ship attacked by Ansar Allah has ties to Israel, whether that be through the owner, the operator, the crew, or the cargo. For example, Maersk is, today, still accepting shipments to Israel and still maintains an office in Tel Aviv.
See, democracy is fine and the problem is just with every single implementation of it.
