@jccfergie @dbinthed Also the only reason Africans play an european sport and not vice-versa is because of colonialism.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@jccfergie @dbinthed Also please just for once could you give African nation a bit of agency instead of painting as incapable victims of circumstances. Cameroon and Ghana made the 1/4 finals, Morrocco the 1/2 final, so can Tunisia.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@jccfergie @dbinthed Sorry can't square African nations and players being better than ever and a thesis that considers them to be 'depleted'. Nor do you know exactly why some players chose one nation over another.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@jccfergie @dbinthed You made it clear that you dislike the fact that immigrants chose to represent their nation.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@jccfergie @dbinthed 'I hate NATO and immigrants should only play for their blood and soil nations, I am a leftist'

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@jccfergie @dbinthed There is never been more players chosing to represent their African nations, Africa as a football continent is firmly on the rise, and at the expense of South America (itself part of the Global south anyway) and Europe.

@FightLike36 @TortoiseCosta Did you know that someone from Turkiye is Turkiyeyish?

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@BenBoardma97122 @nostalggio France vs Senegal? They didn't win the whole thing after their lost against Senegal. Very far from it.

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks In the context of Dresden, I was discussing another group that does not like Jews. You can join them in crying over the poor Third Reich and how the bombing Dresden was unfathomable and unjustified.

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks You can march with those in Germany who have the same opinion as you if you want, don't tell them about your origins.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks I'm sure the parties are very aware of the preferences of the ICJ, but since they are opinions, they can be dismissed.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks Also, was Dresden a war crime or a military operation?

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks Does armed resistance include killing civilians? International law is pretty clear on this.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks It cannot amend previous SC resolutions, I am sorry. Do you know the definition of 'advisory opinion' ?

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks I thought we made it clear that the ICJ opinion was not binding.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks What is a crime from one perspective is self defence for another, the neo-nazis believe the bombing of Dresden to be a war crime.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks If they withdraw in twenty years, they will have respected the resolutions. One would say they were drafted in this specific way to allow Israel to wait for the right negotiation process happening before fully ending the occupation.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks Ok, but if there are no timetables, how do you enforce it?

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks Then there is security council res. 242 and 338 but they do not have timetables.

[Some Lights @bigdayscoming]

@APosoukh @my_window_box @VerminusM @History__Speaks UN nations are sovereign, the UN is not a supra-governmental institutions that can bind nations with laws. UN general assembly resolutions aren't binding. Even if they were, enforcing would be very complicated, ethically and legally.
