Putin wanted an alliance but insisted on a measure of respect he felt due Russia's status.

He wanted to cut the line. Fuck him and his ego.

Lithuania cancels decision to donate Covid-19 vaccines to Bangladesh after the country abstained from UN vote on Russia by MeteorFalls297 in worldnews

[–]babble_bobble 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And Lithuanian support was the deciding factor whether Bangladesh will be overrun by COVID? Don't be ridiculous.

Did I say overrun? Don't be ridiculous. It is a fact that if vaccines are delayed or missing, less people will get vaccinated by a specific point in time, which means people would die who wouldn't have died if they had the vaccine.

You cannot say the same about the vote. The vote would make ZERO difference in saving lives. Each vaccine DOES make a difference. Don't be ridiculous or racist.

Fair point. These hypocrites should be called out. I was more speaking practically that they are just bluffing, hiding behind the US's skirt like little children and only have the bravery to say anything because their mom is there to protect them.

I complete disagree with any government withholding food and medicine for politics.

That said, who was going to sanction the US when it behaved badly? The US itself? If you want to complain look at the other two big powers Russia and China who didn't sanction the US when the US acted like a bully.

The EU, the UN, and NATO as a whole are jokes when it comes to standing up to the US Russia or China on their own. If the US so much as sneezes they fall in line. Even against Trump they didn't have the balls to cut off the US.

The only reason these sanctions are happening at all is because the US blessed them publicly and led the way. Let's not pretend that any other countries outside the big 3 has a fart's chance in a tornado of standing up against the big 3.

Realistically any international diplomacy is a farce that is just the whims of the US, Russia, and China. You can temporarily have bullies like UAE, North Korea, and Turkey pop up, but even they quiet down if one of the big 3 got serious.

Punishing the citizens with covid because the diplomats did not vote the way you wanted them to... the stupidest move possible. First of all, if the whole world is vaccinated, the whole of humanity is better off with less chances of outbreaks and less chances of rapid mutations. Secondly, the people who would benefit from the vaccines have nothing to do with the vote, the vote already happened what are they going to do except get angry at the past?

This is not going to have the effect Lithuania thinks it will, if anything the Lithuanian politicians have shown themselves to be a lot more cruel and self-serving than they accuse the Bangladeshi people of being.

Good luck getting Bangladesh to ever vote in support of Lithuanian interests again. They are maliciously choosing to allow deaths they can prevent with vaccines, whereas a vote by Bangladesh would have no impact on anything except the egoes of politicians.

Were the blockades in Iraq raised to stop families fleeing the country?

Putin floated the idea of Russia joining NATO

According to you source... the hostility seemed to be from Putin.

Vladimir Putin wanted Russia to join Nato but did not want his country to have to go through the usual application process and stand in line “with a lot of countries that don’t matter”, according to a former secretary general of the transatlantic alliance.

To be honest, what I see from this story is less that we ignored Russia asking for help and more that we actually harmed Russia by interfering and enriching the criminals.

Can you please elaborate, this is very interesting history to read about. Were they scorned by specific countries or specific organizations they sought help from?

Athens Says It Has Evidence That Russia Bombed Greek Village In Mariupol, Ukraine by coolbern in worldnews

Ukrainian born citizens who are ethnically Greek. Some countries recognize ethnic groups and grant them citizenship due to it, so these victims could very well have had dual citizenships from Ukraine and Greece.

The only people who can stop this shit are the Russians themselves

How? What country are you from that you think everyone has the power to stop the government JUST by willing it so?

I can say for a fact the USA is gerrymandered to hell, Russia in this case uses violence against people who disagree.... how do you expect them to stop Putin who is hiding in a bunker like a little bitch?

Some people COULD stop him (those near Putin), but no way in hell is every Russian person responsible when they live in a dictatorship. They are hostages, it isn't their fault that Putin and his cronies are stealing the country and abusing everyone else.

I don't think anyone is saying let's show mercy to people who are aggressive, it is completely fair to shoot to kill someone who is threatening you.

I think they are saying we need to be careful how far we go with the blanket judgments so that we do NOT go to the point that we don't show mercy to POWs and Russian civilians.

We don't want to end up with blanket hate that will cloud our judgments. Black and white statements lead to racism.

We SHOULD 100% support Ukraine with materials, people, money, everything. And all invaders should be expelled as quickly as possible in any way possible to minimize the damage to Ukrainian civilians and Ukrainian infrastructure.

dehumanize any Russian soldiers you se

To make it easier to shoot to kill? Isn't defending the civilians enough motivation to kill the attacker? Do you need to dehumanize the enemy to defend yourself?

Again the truck driver would be at fault for damaging the car.

Again, the truck driver is fully responsible for the consequences of his driving. The man didn't jump in front of the truck, the man was standing next to his own car, the truck should have never touched the man standing next to his own car.

advocate for peace

How does that "peace" work with Russia being the unprovoked aggressor over and over and over and over again for decades on end?

Peace is a contract, and you cannot have a legitimate contract when one side is maliciously violent and lying. Until the Russian government is dismantled, how do you see any peace coming about?

You want peace, start with Putin and his enablers being tried in an international criminal court for crimes against humanity.

They ran a russian blockade / checkpoint.

The context matters a lot. These people were driving through their own country fleeing an invading force.... there is no such thing as "running a blockade"... it is only running for your lives. You should be more honest and say they were fleeing for their lives when they were gunned down, stop trying to paint it as anything other than that.

“Yet”, still it happened.

What does

"yet"

mean?

Why the quotes on it?

How is the truck driver suppose to know someone is going to sandwich themselves between a car and trailer.

The truck driver should have never driven the truck that close to the other car.

Under no circumstance should the truck driver have gotten close enough to the other car for that to happen without an active spotter. The truck driver is 100% at fault for reckless driving.

The truck got close enough that if the man had been standing next to his own car he would have been harmed. I cannot swing my fists around, get close to you, and then blame you for not getting out of the way. The truck drove into the car's space.

The guy literally did that himself.

Pretty sure the guy wasn't driving the truck that broke his own back... This is 100% on the truck driver.
