Moonrise2473, in Venezuela-Guyana dispute: Maduro mobilizes the army and announces annexation of Essequibo

Nowadays is so easy to annex countries, just make a fake referendum, no need for war declarations

Genocide by colonizers.

“Settler Violence” is way too sanitized a term for my taste.

i_ben_fine, in Hamas may have profited from Oct. 7 assault with informed trading — study

My first exposure to this story implied it might have been western traders, not Hamas.

cwagner,

Do you have a link? That would actually be more interesting because it would mean they’d have had advanced knowledge. Which raises “how” and “who”.

i_ben_fine,

No, it was just commentators. They saw “unknown trader” and filled in their own biases.

jarfil,

Western, Eastern, Hamas… a lot of speculative trading is done based on rumors, what better than rumors which actually come true.

cwagner,

As was mentioned, these were very high shorts, implying a far higher confidence than mere rumors.

Yes, this was a sharp level of activity.

Given the rumours about Egypt giving a warning 3 days earlier, I don't think Hamas is likely the only potential source or beneficiary of the information.

0xtero, in NATO should be ready for ‘bad news’ from Ukraine, Stoltenberg warns

Yes, because the last two years have been so full of fantastically good news.

kashara,

Even the loss of Bahmut, which fell in March, has never been admitted by UA.

canis_majoris, in Victims of French serial killer face last chance for justice as accomplice of ‘Ogre’ goes on trial
@canis_majoris@lemmy.ca avatar

The guy was jailed for being a serial rapist and they literally just didn’t keep track of him. That’s insane. I understand how people can slip through the system in the past given that forensics wasn’t as good, but this has no excuse because he was literally imprisoned for the exact crimes he’d go on to continue to commit.

Daevan, in Finland shuts more Russia border points, says asylum inflow must stop

More Than 800 immigrants…poor finnish… Well, they start to get a taste of what feels like to host more Than 10000 a month in Italy…

Those are rookie numbers.

Y’all should get more so you can get a taste of what it feels like to host more than 25k, here in Turkey.

Droechai,

You should always do a per Capita calculation with change in percent per month to see why 800 may be alarming.

Not to dismiss the Italian situation, I just don’t think that Finland needs to regard other nations problems with illegal immigrants before they decide what to do with their external border

jarfil,

According to some (right wing) outlets, Russia would be shoving immigrants into busses, shipping them towards the border, then giving them bicycles to go the rest of the way.

Apparently people consuming such sources, don’t realize that bus service is a normal thing in some countries, bicycles are more affordable than cars, many busses will carry them for you, and regular bus lines have more than enough capacity for over 200 people to travel every week.

Deme, (edited )

Yeah the number if immigrants is very little even by our standards, but our right wing government is doing all it can to stoke fears of a Russian hybrid operation, just so that they get an excuse to shut down the border. Ironically, that’s exactly what Russia wants them to do because such disregard for human rights naturally inflames internal political tensions here.

There would be significantly less drama if we just took them in with due processing, but now that the racist nationalists party is in government with a spineless sack of shit as the PM, they’re not going to do that.

Namstel, in Argentina presidential election: far-right libertarian Javier Milei wins after rival concedes

That’s going to end well…

millie, (edited ) in U.S. President Biden says "Gaza and the West Bank should be reunited under single government" and "extremist violence against Palestinians in the West Bank must stop"

I’m not sure whether it would be political suicide for Biden to criticize Israel going into an election, but he sure seems to think so.

I wonder if he’d have anything else to say if this were his second term rather than his first. Or like, if Trump were firmly in prison and disqualified from election.

Let the people decide.

The Hamas “did not happen in a vacuum”.

jargoggles,

Netanyahu has gone on record saying he has helped prop Hamas up in order to sow division between Gaza and the West Bank.

Hamas is now a convenient excuse to further colonize Gaza. Israel knew about the 10/7 attack more than a week in advance.

Do you have a source for this? I couldn’t find it, although this was pretty close: timesofisrael.com/for-years-netanyahu-propped-up-…

Surround them so they can’t run.

SNFi, in Palestinian girl filming Israeli soldiers gets shot at in the West Bank

Well, that is called “Terrorism” and they want to create a terror feeling to keep people quiet and silent. OBEY AND SHUT UP

bedrooms, in China ‘world’s biggest debt collector’ as poorer nations struggle with its loans

Never make a loan with the Chinese government. They intentionally bankrupt you to "borrow" your asset (in many cases, important sea ports) for 99 years. They update that contract every year to lend it fir the next 99 years. You effectively gave away your asset to China forever.

That's also what the occupiers of China did to China itself before the end of WW2 – seize Chinese ports indefinitely.

It’s a fundamentally different problem here: it’s new infrastructure, which in this day and age is barely profitable in terms of first-order effects (fees, fares, etc.) but is significantly profitable in terms of second- and third-order effects (economic growth, new businesses, yada yada).

If you could build a new subway in New York, spend zero capital, but have to give up the fare revenue for that subway, why wouldn’t you?

Also, the India/US alternative is to… Just outright give the Indian Adani group a majority stake in their port expansion. So much better. So much. Truly.

cwagner, (edited ) in Over 1,500 Israelis Call for ICC action to Stop the Genocide in Gaza - Feddit

This is a bit confusing, how do they know there are over 1500 Israelis who signed? Nothing is stopping me from signing the pledge, the site even encourages me to. But I’m not an Israeli.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres ‘horrified’ by strike on ambulance convoy in Gaza

“The images of bodies strewn on the street outside the hospital are harrowing”

Mr. Guterres added that for nearly one month, civilians in Gaza, including children and women, have been besieged, denied aid, killed, and bombed out of their homes.
