Ukraine doesn’t want to get in the middle of US political spatting.

Ukraine was literally being blamed for exacerbating the LA fire damage.

They were in the middle of our politics whether they liked it or not.

Being a republic has nothing to do with whether ordinary people hold power. For example in Plato’s Republic, power was exclusively held by philosophers because ordinary people were unwise and could not be trusted.

I don’t believe Syria ever styled itself “Democratic”. But the Syrian Republic was certainly a republic.

For that matter, so was the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

A republic is simply a nation with no monarch. If you don’t believe me ask any Canadian, as they are constantly debating whether to officially leave the British crown and become a republic.

The name “National Socialist” was a trick to get people on board.

Sort of. Hitler didn’t found the party, he joined it as a mole in order to spy on it for the military. He ended up doing a lot more than most moles, eventually taking it over and expelling the more socialist (though still racist) founders.

Hitler hated socialists and tried to change the name as soon as he took over, but was convinced to keep the name because it had become a popular brand.

I don’t remember him actually saying he himself will be going.

FWIW, he has said he wants to “die on Mars”.

Yes, the organizations themselves are banned.

Expressing support for them is not banned, unless accompanied by those symbols.

Germany bans certain symbols, including the Nazi swastika, the Communist hammer and sickle, and the Hamas flag.

But it does not otherwise ban support of those organizations/ideologies.

Yes, also ban Jacobin and all the other non-US propaganda networks.

Missing the point does not mean you are thinking for yourself.

The person who asked the question obviously cares.

The actual point of the conversation is “Has she actually committed any crimes?”. If you look up the definition of today’s vocabulary word, you’ll find that it has no bearing on the actual point.

The subtitle is pretty good too.

It’s pointless to use force. That would mean breaking all treaties with the Bahamas. Which would free the Bahamas to do things that are normally prohibited, like putting all the newly arrived immigrants on a boat and sailing them 50 miles right back to Florida.

Trump isn’t in charge of Bahamas. So if they say nobody gets off a plane in their airport, then nobody can get off the plane. The pilot can either sit in the cockpit forever or fly everyone home.

Trump can’t send people to the Bahamas without the goverment’s permission. They won’t be allowed off the plane, and eventually the plane has to return to the US.

Your screenshot is out of date.

Sorry, I thought you were being sarcastic.

Then we agree. It’s fine. Most countries don’t consider Palestine to be their problem, so performative bullshit is the most they can muster.

It sounds like your problem is with the OP, which says 146 countries engage in performative bullshit.

I care about accurately summarizing what the OP is about, and it’s about countries that recognize Palestine. It has nothing to do with countries that support or even care the slightest about Palestinians.

That treaty said that the US and Russia would not attack Ukraine. It did not say the US would defend Ukraine against an attack.

The US held up its end.
