Isn’t their government currently illegitimate because they refused to hold elections?
Fact is, if Russia wanted to overthrow Zelensky they would’ve done it by now. The problem isn’t Zelensky, but the entire notion of Ukrainian independence from Russia. Until Russia can comprehensively beat that idea out of the Ukrainian ethos, this war will not end.
See also: US-Cuba, China-Taiwan, and historically US-South America under the Monroe Doctrine.
Note that this idea isn’t about domestic sovereignty insomuch as it is about who your allies can be. If Ukraine were independent but in CSTO or even in BRICS, there would be no issues. Similarly, if Cuba were to be a US ally instead, sanctions would be dropped and it would be welcomed with open arms.
Considering Chinese companies like Tiktok have been more than happy to sign agreements where data is only transmitted and hosted in the US, with US DoD oversight…
This only works assuming Russia is indefinitely sanctioned… So, either we’ve just signed ourselves into a second Cold War, or the taxpayer will be responsible for repayment.
Considering that SinoVac was approved for use June 1st, 2021 and Biden was inaugurated January 20th, 2021…
Why hide covert actions if nobody cares?
Lmao this community is full of people who deepthroat the State Department and thank Blinken for the privilege.
Ironically, if she had used a Chinese hashtag she would’ve been fine. The state’s case hinges on #MeToo being a US-backed movement, just like #Pride.
LGBT and women’s rights activists in China are restricted from using foreign iconography and foreign slogans, but not from demonstrating. It’s absurd, but altogether a different issue than what the article makes it out to be.
The funny thing now is that the only thing keeping Khan in prison is the “un-Islamic marriage” case.
Yemeni the absolute madlads
Would you prefer a report from Washington?
Canada not being a fuckwad on this for once.
Everyone thinks they’re above international bodies, but most don’t pretend that they don’t think so.
Exactly. The US decides when it wants to follow the rules it created.
Good riddance
My foreign interference
Your authoritarian stomping on freedom of speech
BYD made the most rich white suburban mom car in the world (Yangwang U8, look it up) and immediately got kicked out of the market lmao
Let me get this straight. Public universities (including the University of Minnesota, UT Austin, and others) are private property, despite receiving billions in government funding?
UT-Austin is public. University of Minnesota is public. Ohio State is public. All of these schools receive billions in government funding.
Spying from within public educational institutions feels rather counterintuitive. Chinese students weren’t getting security clearance anyway, so the only goal of their research is to be published in publicly viewable journals or conferences. This is a witch hunt.
Wooo more nuclear
