Awful. And not consequence free. The Gulf states only gravitated toward the U.S. because the U.S. was the regional power actively defending their interests. If he’s not going to hold up his end of that bargain, why should they?
“The problem of excusing abhorrent ideologies for the sake of electoral gains is growing more pervasive and universal,” Mike Nelson argues. “It’s shameful that our leaders are willing to accept this over such small stakes.” https://t.co/XPPyzSzdU2
@CheallaighNiamh@FAIreland You sell aluminum to the Russian war machine and import Chinese products made with Muslim slave labor. But, thankfully, you’re focusing your efforts on (checks notes) a soccer game?
Fair to say Caolan has rattled and embarrassed Irish journalists, who have been reporting non-stop about a football match against Israel in 4 months, and barely anything about 14 ships of alumina being sent from Limerick to Russia every month.
@RedDirtKid3@DethCrusade@UlickMcGee2024@golub What does this have to do with Israel? Irish human rights activists are calling upon their government to stop doing business with China.
Try reading your own newspapers:

@DethCrusade@UlickMcGee2024@golub I’m not defending Israel. I don’t think any country should do business with China and the UAE.
I just find it puzzling that Ireland wants to boycott products made in the Occupied Territories—which is a policy that I support—while also continuing to profit from ethnic cleansing?
@beersippinlefty@DethCrusade@UlickMcGee2024@golub Guy who buys products made with Muslim slave labor says I don’t have an ounce of moral decency?
Why is it so difficult to acknowledge this is wrong and that your country should stop doing it?
Or is your ego more important than defending human life?
It’s amazing Mearsheimer still talks like this after 4+ years of tough Ukrainian resistance
All of this is wrong:
- No European leader has said 'we should fight to last Ukrainian.' The Ukrainians are very obviously choosing to fight for fear of annihilation. M must know this

Well…
Ireland has expanded trade with China despite that country’s ethnic cleansing of Uyghur Muslims—in fact, Ireland is importing Chinese products made with Muslim slave labor.
Ireland is conducting business deals worth over $1 billion with UAE, which is funding genocide in Sudan.
@ciarantierney Despite a ten-year genocidal campaign against Uyghur Muslims, Ireland has expanded trade with China and imports Chinese products made with Muslim slave labor—so maybe you’re not the best judge of “civilization”
