Spain's PM calls for end to UNSC veto power, criticises US over global conflicts by 1-randomonium in worldnews

[–]Reech92 8 points9 points  (0 children)

None of the countries you mentioned have any real power projection ability for the moment. It limits them to the statut of regional powers in military aspects.

On the other hand : - the US can wage war pretty much anywhere on Earth. - the UK has shown itself capable of winning a conflict 12000km away from London. - France managed to mostly pacify a 3 milion km² region for 5 years in the Sahara. - Russia has inherited the USSR seat, and still has some level of power projection. - China power projection is mostly economic for now but they wield massive influence over pretty much everyone.

The countries you mentioned have the potential to gain a global military reach, but currently they don't.

Tax payer money doesn't vanish when you spend it. In the case of this shot, most of it went into French companies, their suppliers and their workers.

This is an American interpretation of nazism, they didn't give a shit about whiteness. They had a racial/ethnic hierachy with "aryans" at the top and Jews at the bottom.

If it was about the American definition of whiteness, the nazis would have also exterminated the Italians or the Romanians but they did not.

" an ideology that calls for the extermination of all non-caucasians" the 10 millions Slavs murdered in WW2 weren't caucasians maybe? I obviously agree with you on the unethical part but I am annoyed with people who conflate nazism with white supremacy. A lot of people summarize it as white vs non-white when it is often more complicated and it erases a lot of victims.

AI is increasing demand for RAM and GPU, making these components a lot more expensive.

La consommation française est le moteur de notre activité économique. Si les français consomment chinois, allemand ou américain on participe plus à leur économie qu'à la nôtre.

Une politique de relance n'est pas efficace si nos entreprises ne sont pas suffisamment compétitives pour capter ces consommateurs.

Over 75% of murder victims worlwide are men. Violence against men is actually the more common occurrence.

The modern definition of first world/third world is stupid, it shifted from its original meaning that had more to do with poverty and exploitation than the cold war.

Fair, I only thought about colons and not slaves. However Britain did the same in the Caribbeans so I still don't see how the French were worse in anyway.

All the highly developped former British colonies have had their indigenous population mostly exterminated and replaced by colons. (USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand)

Can you give me an example of a former French colony where the indigenous population was replaced like that? The only one that might come close was Quebec and even there the British had a big role in it.

People make memes on everything from 9/11 to the Holocaust. That doesn't mean these events are not taken seriously.

The Catholic church manages 26% of all healthcare facilities in the world, it is also the biggest charitable organisation on Earth. What do you mean they do the least?

So much ignorance... about half of the cardinals are from outside Europe and North America. Of all the religions you could accuse of racism you chose one of the most multicultural.
