  • UK immigration officers 'working for China' arrested after forcing entry into flat, court hears

    跳过

  • One of the UK immigration officers - Chi Leung "Peter" Wai - is on trial at the Old Bailey. The other - former Royal Marine Matthew Trickett - was found dead in May 2024 after he had been arrested and bailed.

    So China killed that guy?

  • I’d be interested in how all of the money invested fares against good old “no drugs, eat your greens, excercise” regarding longevity.

    I mean, we can kinda see that in action already?Compare the longevity and health of rich people who get pumped full of the newest drugs vs average folk who can only afford average drugs.

    No doubt exercise and good food are a big factor, but drugs take you to another level.

  • EU to include UK and Japan in ‘Made in Europe’ plans

    跳过

  • Sometime in the future we should also include countries like Australia, South Korea, Canada, and others. Although, for the time being I hope the focus is to extend trade partnerships - especially finishing the FTA with Australia and a new one with ASEAN, that'd make me very happy.This shouldn't really be about some sort of euro-nationalism, but rather a pragmatic approach that allows us to best counter USA and China.

  • Straight up lying about what other governments agree to.Like, I don't even know what the purpose was here... what did they think, the spanish won't be hearing about it because its in english?

  • French president expresses 'European solidarity' with Spain after US threats over Madrid’s stance on Iran

    跳过

  • Doubt it. Solidary with Spain doesn't necessarily translate to agreeing with Spain, but defending Spain's right to sovereignty.Similar to how someone's defense of others' free speech doesn't translate to agreement of whatever it is that they say.

  • The Dangerous Munitions Mismatch Between America and Iran | The United States has only so many expensive missiles to send after Iran’s cheap and plentiful arms.

    跳过

  • A whole lot of slop when the article should've started from the get go with this point here

    According to the Times, Israeli officials estimate that they have destroyed 50 percent of Iran’s missile launchers.

    If that number is remotely true, then its an insane number.Maybe Israel is lying, wouldn't be the first time. Let's halve it to 25%. Even with that number, removing 25% of Iran's missile launch capabilities in a couple of days is fucking crazy.

    And its that kind of thing that completely changes the military calculations. Sure, they're a lot more expensive, but if you fuck up your enemy's capability to launch missiles, they're very much worth it.And missile launchers cannot be built at the same fast rate, it goes without saying.

    Its things like these that make me (extra) distrustful of western media. Do an actual genuine effort at estimating capabilities and stop it with the clickbaity slop, I'm tired.

    The United States and Israel are dragging the region into a major war

  • Russian President Vladimir Putin described the killing of the Iranian leader as a cynical violation of international norms, while Russia’s Foreign Ministry called on all sides to immediately cease hostilities.

    FUCKING LOL

  • Europe’s voice of moral sense speaks Spanish

    跳过

  • But the 27-nation bloc isn’t capable of speaking with one voice, because the war in Ukraine (and Hungary and Slovakia’s lack of support) once again weighs in, alongside Brussels’ dependency on the US across a range of sectors, from energy and defence, to tech and finance.

    The author seems to forget another crucial matter. Its not just that Europe relies heavily on American weapons/military both for its defence and for the war in Ukraine, it is also that the Islamic occupiers of Iran have directly and explicitly involved their military industrial complex in an European war on the side of the aggressor.

    They have built an entire drone industry inside Russia and for years they have directly helped Russia in its imperialist quest of conquering Ukraine with the thousands upon thousands of drones that have struck hospitals, schools, residential areas, energy infrastructure, military infrastructure, etc.

    The Islamic occupiers are directly invested and benefit directly from Russia's war of aggression.

    And that's another matter that I argue weighs heavily on the European choice of silence.

  • Sanctioned Russian LNG Tanker Arctic Metagaz Erupts in Flames After Drone Attack

  • On the good side LNG tankers don't do much damage to the environment when compared to oil tankers, also they cost a lot more - like 3-4 more than oil ones, on the bad side there is no bad side.

  • China’s new language law to criminalise advocacy of ethnic minority rights

    跳过

  • There are language schools, but I can’t find any details about full education being available in a minority langauge.

    I mean... Belgium literally has three different full-fledged education systems in flemish, french and german; all of them with their own curricula, schools, universities, etc.

    Due to their similar language they are mostly bilingual and can relatively easily understand each other.

    This is just flat out wrong??? Finnish and swedish are not similar languages and they're not mutually understandable. A finnish speaker cannot understand a swedish speaker. Swedish is a germanic language, Finnish is blood uralic, its not even part of the indo-european family. Perkele, mita vittua?!Did you just go "oh, they're both in the north, they sound similar to me sooooooooooooooo"

    Spanish is the only official language in Spain, only autonomous regions are allowed to have their own official languages per the constitution.

    By definition its not the ONLY official language if areas in the country have extra official languages.The very constitution of the country allows for co-official languages.

    And overall it makes sense that these minority-language schools are present only in particular regions. Why would you want to have schools for language X when there's not a consistent minority that speaks language X in that area in the first place? Complete waste of resources.And naturally you can't have schools for every minority, especially with modern-day migration, but its not economically feasible to have a school where only 3 kids can attend.If would've just said that not every minority in Europe gets its school, I would've agreed. That much is clear. But that is a very different point from the one initially made.The dominant model in Europe is certainly not one similar to the one China is pursuing, in fact I'd argue that there's few EU member states that come close to that. And the ones that spring to mind are the Baltics - Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia - which is an entirely different bag of chips and a whole conversation to be had about how right or wrong they are to pursue something like that in their present geopolitical context.

    and Finnish have the same status as Swedish in Finland due to language similarities

    Please, stop saying that. The two languages are not similar. That's not the reason for their status. Its because Swedish imperialism. They occupied Finland for centuries. To help you better understand, percentage-wise the similarity between Swedish and Finnish is CLOSE TO 0% (ZERO)

    There is a strong push to encourage foreign languages as secondary

    Strong push? I don't agree with this framing. It makes it seem like its just beginning, like only now we're moving in that direction. When the reality is that its completely normalized across most if not all EU member states.Teaching at least one foreign language is a long-term standard of the education system of EU states.

    In 2023, 89% of pupils in upper secondary education in the EU were learning English as a foreign language: this share was 96% in general programmes and 80% in vocational programmes.

  • China’s new language law to criminalise advocacy of ethnic minority rights

    跳过

  • That’s already how it works in most (might be all) of Europe.

    What Europe are you talking about??????? Because its definitely not in the Europe I'm in.Minority people are very much entitled and do use their native language in schools and universities.

    Belgium has dutch, french and german as its official langauges, each region teachin in the region's langauge. Minority language communities have their own full school systems. Finland's nationa languages are finnish and swedish; swedish-natives have the legal right to FULL education in their native tongue. There's Swedish-langauge schools all over the country. Spain - basque, catalan, galician. Similar shit. Switzerland - german, french, italian and romansh - all national languages. Even the french, who go crazy about their language shit, still have breton and basque language schools. Romania, hungarians being the largest minority, there's lots of hungarian-focused schools. German as well. Ukrainian, serbian, slovak, turkish. Uk - welsh, gaelic, and irish. Sweden - sami, finnish, romani and yiddish. Italy - german, french and slovenian.

    I could talk all day. Not only is the opposite the reality about Europe, its definitely how it should be and its one of the things that Europe and the EU do right.

    Trump Worries Iran’s Leaders May Be Just ‘as Bad’ After War

    跳过

  • No, Israel is not doing a genocide in Iran. That is a silly thing to say and you have no proof at all for your genocide claim. And no, civilian casualties don't count as genocide. Both Israel and USA have VERY OBVIOUSLY aimed their attacks at institutions of the terrorist occupation.

    And no, I'm not asking you to support Iranians who live in the west, where did I say that? I'm asking you to support Iranians living in Iran under the islamist occupation.

  • You think christian extremists and jewish extremists are going to save people from islamist extremists?

    No, I don't think so at all. AND YET, this is literally all the Iranians have right now. This is it. There's no Usaian leftists coming to help them. No Germany, no Spain, no France, no EU, no Cuba, no Australia, no Russia, no China, no country on earth and absolutely no one at all except the lunatics currently in charge of USA and Israel. How fucked is that.

    It continues to astonish me how much westerners seems to just not give a flying fuck about these people and their opinions. In the end, the western leftists are not so radically different than their right wing counter parts, just a different side of the same shitty coin.I sure as hell am glad our anti-communist revolution happened when internet wasn't a thing, otherwise I'd no doubt see such kind hearted people simp for our mass-murderous leadership.
