The scope of the intrusion, while broad, makes sense, analysts say, given that China wields great leverage over Cambodia, where Western officials say it is building a Chinese naval facility for the exclusive use of its military. The facility would become China’s first such overseas outpost in the Pacific — a significant element of a strategy to build a network of military facilities around the world in support of its aspirations to become a true global power.
"As China and Cambodia continue to deepen their cooperation, it becomes all the more important to China to collect intelligence on Cambodia,” said Joe McReynolds, China Security Studies Fellow at the Jamestown Foundation. “If you’re [Chinese President] Xi Jinping, the last thing you want is to be blindsided by political developments in Cambodia.”
I know this looks hopeless. But the entire humanity isn’t responsible for the mess the world is in. In fact, the vast majority of humans are innocent beings who don’t intend any harm on other humans or the nature.
It’s just a tiny percentage that’s the problem - an extremely greedy and sociopathic minority. Making the entire human race disappear is not going to work, since these vermin will find a way to sacrifice all the innocent ones, save themselves and take all the resources for themselves (exactly like in this news story). The only reason there is some sanity is because the good people fight back. And that’s the only option we have.
We pay them. It’s not the other way around. We feed them what they need to do this.
We trade humanity for a false sense of security under gang nations that work for world dominance.
We are the problem too. If you pay tax than you’ve paid someone to murder for you.
I’ve seen street life it’s the same thing.
If people won’t protect themselves then they will always be submissive to warlords that get paid for exactly the hell we see. It’s profit, it’s career. Same as gang life.
Doesn’t even matter anyway… It’s already done and dead. There’s no more escaping what humanity’s apathy made.
I’m kinda in a political vacuum and, being Jewish, am kinda shielded from being called antisemitic, but are people for realsies being called antisemitic for saying statements like “a little girl was filming from her house when the IDF shot her,” or is it more hyperbolic than literal? I mean, I’ve known some assholes from the Jewish community who would probably pull that shit to get out of an argument, but does anyone actually listen to them? I mean, I’m not gonna take hygiene tips from someone covered in dog shit…
Either way, selfishly, I just want my family in Israel to be safe; idealistically, the Israeli state should have been checked before it had even gotten to this point. You can’t destroy people’s lives and homes and then think they’re gonna roll over when you corner them.
I hope against all logic that there’s a quick and less lethal end to all this. After that, it’d sure be fucking great to see some repercussions for war crimes and crimes against humanity for once. I can’t even imagine what the poor Palestinian survivors of this are gonna be like when it’s all over. How can you ever go back to any reasonable form of daily living?
Yes, it’s a shame, but tbf Israelis really freaked out after Oct 7 and now see threats everywhere.
There was a strong supporting reaction at first, but then the Israelis started saying some dark things and some people are starting to feel an awkward vibe.
Hamas needs to be rooted out, it’s just a lot of Israelis seem to see all gazans as hamas now, which is problematic, and lash out with “antisemitism!” When people try to deescalate.
Yeah, October 7th was pretty fucked up, but it’s not like Israelis aren’t under constant threat. What sucks is that kind of fear leads to suspicion and a strange flavor of xenophobia I’ve never really seen from other countries…
But I can tell you that, in a way, Israelis didn’t necessarily see Gazans as Hamas before, but they sure as fuck saw them as an other and a threat. I swear, the things I heard from even my most liberal Israeli family members was shocking. “They just breed like rabbits,” “they want to be in power so they can oppress us,” “they can’t hold their own elections because they’ll just vote for terrorists.” And then the most religious citizens of their country live part of the year in NYC, have so many kids that they forget to vaccinate them, and vote for Trump and Netanyahu in two separate elections.
It’s a joke about how everything is a hamas base in the eyes of the IDF army, and the answer from the Israeli government to any criticism calling it anti semitism.
Thank you for that answer! Fuck the terrorists in government on both sides destroying all the beautiful people between them. Also, I’ve met some non-beautiful people in both countries. So fuck them too, but small-scale.
I was gonna tell you to be careful with that JIDF stuff cuz conspiracies lead to blah blah blah and then did a quick look on ecosia. Jesus Christ my people suck sometimes…
LOL, OK, let's say that a camera could be mistaken for a gun/rifle/nuke. Would the same apply to a phone? Because I cannot read something placed 10 meters away from me, and I still would distinguish a phone from a weapon.
You do not know what solder saw. But I am still insisting this can not be rifle shot. If anyone ever was near shooting rifle, they would know it is much louder.
To back that up I’ve seen a few videos of IDF shooting with suppressors, on videos it can sound like a click, from the sound of this video though I’m not sure it’s even suppressed.
“I know nothing about Thing In Video but I will choose to vehemently insist this can’t be Thing It Obviously Is, also it’s fine they shot at a civilian with no regard for rules of engagement anyway.”
I have seen enough shooting videos to say that this is not true. The sound even using phone should be much louder. Not as lows as in real life, but loud and echo should be heard for quite some time.
You are clearly here solely to defend the IDF, this is a wasted effort in this space. Why do you want to put so much effort into excusing a murderous apartheid state?
The IDF will likely try to claim that they thought she was a sniper, but if that were true they wouldn’t be standing around in the middle of the street before they shot.
You can read the words of the event, but like you said watching their behavior says everything. It’s like US police claiming they feared for their life. They casually stand there, like any other day at work, and attempt to murder a young girl, and probably joked about it after.
He doesn’t give a shit about the hostages, he wants to expel Palestinians from north Gaza, if not all of it. He will bomb all the tunnels where they’re being held, then blame Hamas for “putting them in the way of the bombs”.
Weird projection. If they are going to assassinate people for knowing in advance they should start with their own ranks, since Egypt warned them days beforehand.
Will this finally make people accept that environmentalism is not some hippy-dippy rich people idea but a question of survival for our species? Unfortunately I’m not optimistic.
Probably not, or at least to the people who could make a difference.
The life long suffering and consequences of pollution this brings to people - This is a horrible situation. I’m honestly surprised there’s not better reporting of the people dying from this.
I remember the smoke from the Canadian fires. I couldn’t go outside (not that inside was better) and there was no getting a workout in without inducing burning in my lungs.
