@richimedhurst That’s right, if they were all from Ethiopia or Arabia no westerner would empathise with or protect and embrace them in this way. Birds of a feather and all that …
@Chetuyachinago@richimedhurst TLDR but you make a good point. To point out though, governments everywhere are never well-oiled machines impervious to manipulation & misdirections by others. Perfectly valid to assert that these client states do influence the puppet masters by their sheer wit and clever ploys
@CPJElmore@FCDOGovUK The zero security council you mean? … useless club trying to appear diverse. I’d shut up about it if I were you because optics and politics matter more to you and them than actual human lives!
@DD_Geopolitics Smacks of half baked ideas from London& Brussels fleshed out over zoom for him to put his name to, bless.
The country and its people need saving
@richimedhurst Sad reality but for as long as there’s weapons of war and mass murder, loss of life will continue. Trade just spreads it and accelerates things.
The military industrial complex and the resultant trade are both governed by profit not morality
@richimedhurst What we are seeing now isn’t new. Happened so many times before with more catastrophic results. We just happen to live in times when the world is much more of a village - events can be recorded and transmitted instantly and so it feels overwhelming. The problem is alll too human
@Rhomaic@richimedhurst What, might one ask, was the purpose of such infrastructure if not to further own interests including a flow of slaves? It was only banned when it didn’t make much economic sense and also to claim some moral high ground from which to conquer and rule more of the world!
@jeremycorbyn Global supply chain excuse just doesn’t wash. Companies involved can still be barred from selling to violators of international law can’t they?
@Channel4News And what do you and those you report to say about the whole situation then? I guess you’re just happy to broadcast l, to anyone interested, the misery death and destruction you continues to help perpetuate via your taxes and coverage
@YvetteCooperMP@FCDOGovUK Yes do carry on with this Orwellian dystopia until we’re all under fire, which - given there isn’t a brain cell between you and your clueless government - won’t be long now.
@DavidLammy Blimey, what a glaring example of how well the empire has done out of this little project. What a transformation! - once the empire’s own chattel now a fully paid up mouth piece and willingly donning the fancy dress too 🙄
