Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Excellent news! GTFO! And dont come back!

Ireland is increasingly the center of the civilized western world.

[–] stoly 12 points 1 month ago

That’s because they are still recovering from decades of horror. Give it a generation and they’ll catch up with the rest of the angry west.

Well, That's great.
I hope they will isolate themselve more and more,

Except the USA is ripe for aligning with them.

The UN needs to limit veto power. I think of the 5 countries with veto power, it should take 3 to block something.

The Security Council shouldn't even have permanent members and certainly no minority veto powers.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

These permanent members are in the top arms suppliers, playing a double game of pretending to work for world peace while gaining from wars.

Yeah, this polarized world between Russia and USA is tiring.
We have no choice to make our propers decision, according to "our values", to make them stopping this.

At one moment, they cannot be (the US) in war with the entire world.
Even they abuse their autority on the dollars, etc, at a moment, that will not work anymore,

But, that sound a lot like an Utopia for now..

Russia is seeing to it that they eventually decline so much as to be a non-significant power. In terms of GDP and population they are between Mexico and Brazil and are only going to decline. Their war against Ukraine is going to be one of the most destructive things to ever happen to Russia.

If the permanent members of the security council didn't have veto powers they A: wouldn't have joined, and B: would go "you and what army?" if people voted to force them to do something.

It's just a way to keep a high level discussion going.

Not really, since anything they disagree with gets shot down. I agree that's what would happen without veto power, but it's effectively a worthless position to anyone trying to do right by the world.

[–] lurklurk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah it's not hugely effective

Genocide Karens. Good riddance.

This trick gets rid of Israelis for you. Wish more countries follows Ireland, but who am I kidding, right.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 1 month ago

How nice of them to cut themselves off

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

Good, Fascists, get out of civilized communities.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 1 month ago

Germany will now have to use all its diplomatic clout to push to apply sanctions against Ireland within EU mechanisms, otherwise the next report of how it’s falling short of its historic obligations will look uglier than usual.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

It exclusively hurts their own citizens that are living in Ireland or other people that needs a visa to go to spend money in Israel

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago

policies like what israel, the united states, and russia engage in are not about helping anyone. they are about harming the "right" people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

And nothing of value was lost.
