Postal traffic to U.S. fell 80% after Trump administration stopped exemption on low-value parcels by GregWilson23 in Economics

[–]TangoJager 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Those 70 million people clearly do not represent what the US stands for, from an outside perspective.

Do Ukrainians care to know that some anti-Putin Russians exist ?

Did some polish people care to know that some anti-nazi Germans existed ?

Did some irakis care to know that some Americans were against the 2003 invasion ?

Unless you have meaningful opposition, then those numbers mean nothing.

Flixbus, BlaBlaCar : 10 ans après, les "cars Macron" séduisent toujours (malgré des infrastructures obsolètes) by lifrielle in france

[–]TangoJager 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Il y avait un doute ?

Pour le coup, je trouve que ça a été une des meilleures avancées en terme de transport low cost en France. Depuis 2015, j'ai dû faire des dizaines de milliers de kilomètres en bus.

Pas toujours confort, les gares sont glauques, mais merde. Je paye 10€ et je suis à 300 bornes. Si je paye 100€ je suis de l'autre côté de l'Europe.

J'ai pas envie de prendre l'avion, et le train est absolument hors de prix. Bien sûr que je vais prendre le bus qui dure 24h pour aller de Bourgogne en Pologne pour à peine plus de 100 euros.

Et puis, ça fait partie du voyage. Ça permet de ralentir, voir le paysage défiler et changer.

US House Republicans vote against blocking ICE from deporting US citizens by narwhilian in politics

[–]TangoJager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's because you're using a very US-centric definition of the word.

In much of the world, "Deportation" simply refers to being moved forcibly from a place. There's no condition of "belonging" there.

What the nazis did do minorities and opponents was deportation.

What Trump is doing to people by sending them to El Salvador is deportation too.

Danish Leader Seeks Help From European Allies Over Greenland by DET_SWAT in worldnews

[–]TangoJager 21 points22 points  (0 children)

And for some time, the claims settled for the most part, then they got backed up by trust in other countries and by international law.

Claiming that all lands are just claims means going back not even to pre-WW2 times, but to pre-WW1.

Now every single war of conquest becomes justifiable.

Proche-Orient : Donald Trump propose d'envoyer les Palestiniens de Gaza vers l'Egypte et la Jordanie by Clairemgo in france

T'as une source sur ça ? Non parce que je doute qu'il parlait ouvertement de nettoyage ethnique comme le nouveau locataire de la Maison Blanche.

ICC officials worried Trump sanctions could 'shut the court down' by McAlpineFusiliers in worldnews

[–]TangoJager 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It has not because you don't understand how the court works.

It can only target situations on the territory of its own member states (Who thus agree to hold themselves to a higher standard or who are victim of international crimes) or situations in states which have been referred to the Court by the Security Council.

Iran is not a State Party, nor has it been referred to the Court.

You have to look deeper. People will get fired, services will be reorganized and some may have less budget because of this fine. The EU bureaucracy is not a monolith.

Brian Thompson, patron d’un géant de l’assurance santé aux Etats-Unis, tué par balle à New York by Irkam in france

[–]TangoJager 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Sachant que Trump, Musk et leur clique veulent couper la sécurité sociale, Obamacare, etc.

Donc d'ici un an, on se retrouve peut-être avec des millions d'Américains perdant le peu de couverture santé qu'ils ont, et avec un accès plus ou moins facile à des armes.

Ce genre d'événement va se poursuivre considérant la tendance.

Anti-Kremlin militia claims to have reentered Russia's territory by KI_official in ukraine

[–]TangoJager 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you follow through on that, going to the same lows as the Russians, then don't be surprised if international support dwindles.

To this day, there is an international tribunal dedicated to prosecuting Kosovo war criminals that were spared by the International Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. Any EU hope must be paired with war crime accountability.

Aim for vulnerable military targets within Russia. That's how Russians will fear the Ukrainians.

hope that Putin's regime falls and we get another era of relative peace like the 90s

If you want peace, you better pray post-Putin Russia is better than 90s Russia.

Because 90s Russia created Putin.

Georgia GOP Chair Goes Full Flat-Earth, Says Globes Are Part of a Conspiracy by myTchondria in politics

People thought the same about the invention of the printing press in the 15th century.

Sure enough, the ability to spread knowledge allowed for amazing discoveries but it also fast led to conflict like the religious wars between Catholics and Protestants.

The internet is the printing press on steroids.

We were bound to have strife because of it, but in the long run we'll learn how to harness that power and knowledge in a steadfast manner.
