I stand with Genocide Joe, Holocaust Harris, Merz, Von Der Leyen, Kallas, Netanyahu and Zelensky cos Pyootn is a bad man who invaded the Ukraine for no reason. Go USA! Slava Ukraine and Heil Hitler! (okay to say because Russia has Nazis too). Free Palestine! I am very moral.

Israel yesterday kidnapped four women. Two are footballers in the Palestinian National Team.

Their names are: Natali Abu Dia and Rand Halwani.

Is it normal to kidnap footballers, @FIFAcom? Where are sports media organisations? This story should be the headline everywhere.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@SlavaNAFO @nwl88444048 The genocidal rapists are you Zionazi Israelis. And everyone knows it.

Ukrainians performed NAZI chants in European soccer leagues.

“Slava Nazi” and NOBODY stops him.

Ukraine is a Nazi state.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent While we're aiding the genocide, I don't bemoan also aiding its military opponents.
I think we're way past neutrality or diplomacy in any case.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent I don't think "it's terrible" that a company might be arming Russia.
There is no international law.
There are no diplomatic avenues left.
Ireland is unfortunately not neutral.
I don't know how more simply to put it.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent I don't have an easy answer. The world is changing. Now is the time of monsters. It's going to get much worse before it gets better. Hopefully justice will win in the end. So I'm nonplussed about the aluminium.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent For both scenarios diplomacy has been completely exhausted because in both scenarios the western powers want war and genocide. Minsk 1 and 2, Istanbul... innumerable treaties and accords re Palestine. Hardly been looked at?

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent Going back to the start. I don't think "It's terrible." that an Irish company supplied parts to Russia.
Has that not been tried for decades? At what point do you decide it's failed?
I can't fathom this analogy of the Palestinians being the Nazi aggressor here either.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent Even our own government won't go near this. We're all captured and need to accept the limitations of being an imperial core member. No amount of diplomacy or consciousness raising is going to be in time to save us from the upcoming strife that's needed to progress beyond this.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent Fair play.
I think we've exhausted all possible diplomatic avenues available to the likes of you and I. The minds of EU electorates are well and truly captured and it all needs to play out its course. I will still not stay silent, but that's not diplomacy.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent The Palestinians have won. Israel (and the USA and the Ukraine) has been shown up for what it is now and only the most died in the wool liberal refuses to see it.
Agreed about the diplomacy, also no issue with arming the victims of US/Israel/NATO aggression here. Both arepossible

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent You are a Palestinian in Gaza who's just watched your children shredded. Explain what your very clear effective diplomatic options are.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent The NAFO lads want war because the ruling class wants war. I've wanted peace from 2014 and opposed all of the jingoism throughout. Nevertheless I was raised well and to always vocally support those fighting Nazis allied with the most brutal and murderous regimes in the world.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@ciarannugent The diplomatic options for the Palestinians have been clear for decades. There were none and it's shockingly ignorant to claim there ever were any.
You choose the side of the genocidal aggressor. Ireland is not neutral in the case of genocide. We are humans. Well most of us.

[☭ BenOfHowth ☭ @Ben0fHowth]

@JRespecki @OTregub @Justinhead1982 Quite a specifically vivid imagination you have there. Enjoy your fantasies I guess.

I have been watching the performances of Ukrainian tennis players at Roland Garros for many days now.

Not their performances in a sporting sense, but in a political one.

Every day they hold press conferences in which they insult their Russian colleagues.

Their complaints against the Russian players boil down to the fact that the Russian tennis players do not condemn Putin.

Why should Russian tennis players be required to condemn anyone at all?

Why should they put their families at risk by making such statements?

Why should they destroy their chances of ever returning to their homeland by making such statements?

So that the Ukrainian tennis players will like it?

So that someone can get another opportunity for publicity?

Tennis players should play tennis.

Tennis is a sport.

If you are unhappy with your opponents, you can simply choose not to go out and play tennis.

But the daily whining at press conferences about the “bad Russian tennis players” has already become unbearable.

Ukrainian players, go and play tennis.

And if you cannot play tennis, like that “Olympian” Heraskevych with his ridiculous helmet cannot achieve any sporting results, then go into PR instead.

But it looks extremely pathetic.

Holding press conferences every day, throwing mud at your Russian colleagues, and then still losing to them. Bravo.

西方对中国最愤怒是中国把他们躺赚了几十年的暴利生意，一个个砸成了普通人都买得起的日用品。
这种愤怒已经刻进了很多西方人的骨子里，他们不是不理解，而是不愿意理解，不愿意接受自己再也不能躺着剥削全世界的事实。
二十年前，中国修地铁要用盾构机，全部从德国进口。一台盾构机德国卖3.5亿人民币，一分钱都不能少。买的时候还要签霸王条款，机器坏了只能找德国工程师来修。
德国工程师来中国一天的工资是3000欧元，换算成人民币当时是3万多。他们坐飞机必须坐头等舱，住必须是五星级酒店的总统套房。
维修的时候中国人不能在旁边看，必须全部离场，修完了直接开账单，换一个小小的密封圈就要10万人民币。
有时候机器出个小故障，要等德国工程师三个月才能来，整个工地几百人就只能闲着干等，每天损失几百万。
没有人觉得这有什么不对。全世界都默认，高科技就应该卖这么贵，德国人掌握了技术，他们就有资格赚这个钱。甚至放言给中国图纸也造不出盾构机。
但到2008年，中国第一台拥有自主知识产权的盾构机下线。当时德国人根本不在乎，他们觉得中国人造出来的肯定是垃圾，用不了几天就会坏。
结果中国盾构机不仅能用，而且价格直接开到了5000万一台。后来随着技术不断成熟，产量不断提高，现在一台国产盾构机只要2000多万人民币，价格只有原来德国的十七分之一。

德国盾构机的垄断神话一夜之间破灭了。原来全世界只有德国、日本、美国少数几个国家能造盾构机，他们联合起来维持高价，想卖多少钱就卖多少钱。
现在中国加入了，他们的价格体系彻底崩溃了。现在德国盾构机想卖出去，价格也只能降到和中国差不多的水平，再也不能躺着赚暴利了。
而这样的事在各个领域都不断的上演，套用足球解说的一句话，留给西方垄断的时间不多了。

Any self-described "communist" who still believes the Democrats are somehow a lesser evil than the Republicans or that Trump is especially evil compared to other US presidents is a complete and utter idiot.
