Cruiseships are still much, much more polluting even though they carry thousands of people. Look st some of the graphs here: https://www.transportenvironment.org/articles/luxury-cruise-giant-emits-10-times-more-air-pollution-sox-all-europes-cars-study

For example looking at Barcelona, the 105 cruiseships that arrived in a year there polluted 5-6x as much as half a million cars did that year. So by that metric, for 1 cruiseship, you can operate 25000 cars.

One cruise operator alone had a pollution in Europe 10 times that of all cars in Europe. Another cruise operator added another 4 times the European car fleet. So if we were to ban all cars in Europe, that would only compensate 7% of the emissions of two of the cruise ship operators.

This is an animalistic society that sanctifies death. Very soon, we will erase their smile again and replace it with cries of grief and the wails of those who were left with nothing

Does he see the irony in this statement?

In positive news, the ICJ won't have anymore issues proving the "intent" part of the genocide claims, he pretty much spelled it out for them.

They recently increased their propaganda budget by a massive amount, moght have something to do with it.

To show they can. It's a signal to Europe that they know where our infrastructure is and that they can get to it.

It's incredible how they can say nothing while speaking for 30 minutes. Gotta appreciate the very critical press though, refreshing to see. Where I live the press will ask what they had for lunch and then leave it at that.

I was going to say: "no way they'd be that stupid again", but then again the US just elected Trump for a second time so who knows

No no no, they don't say it's genocide. I'm pretty sure they are fully aware it's genocide, as that's the purpose.

Russian decisions over the past few years haven't exactly shown much long-term strategic choices or forethought, so I doubt this is an argument for them

The US will attach an angry letter to the next shipment of bombs, I'm sure.

They have just fucking stopped halfway covering what they are doing haven't they? They realised that daddy US will protect them no matter what, so now they just go full steam ahead.
