Oh, so Israelis are not allowed to leave? They're not allowed to travel freely but are confined to one place? Like some sort of... hostages?

You know, when I'm the good team, I usually make sure to have my intelligence services run from a skyline-dominating black obelisk

The camera pans out from the end of him giving his account as a guest on a talk show, revealing it was playing on a tv in a shop window that some grubby urchins are watching through the glass

One of them turns to the others and says "gee, life might suck here, but thank god we don't live over there!"

There's a citations-needed on exactly this, it's episode 14 and it came out in 2017, which even further demonstrates how this is an evergreen lie.

'Munitions' usually refers to the things being shot out of a weapon, i.e. bullets, bombs, missiles (in NATO terminology, 'munitions' specifically means explosives, as opposed to bullets.)

'Ordnance' refers to heavy weapons generally, mainly artillery pieces, but also sometimes to smaller weapons like mortars and portable missile launchers, and confusingly in some cases also the shells and missiles they fire. You would never usually refer to smaller weapons like pistols or rifles as 'ordnance' unless you were being ironic.

What an interesting sentiment, I wonder what opinions it will cause me to have and material actions it will cause me to undertake, and their relative benefits for the capitalist empire I live in versus its geopolitical enemies, the only people engaged in any meaningful resistance.

Bruh; I posted this six months ago, how did you even find it? Did you scroll my entire comment history until you could find a single thing to concern-troll at?

Anyway, the """Hong Kong protests""" were started in response to a security bill that would make it easier to extradite criminals back to the mainland, as there were several loopholes in the way mainland and Hong Kong criminal codes lined up that needed to be closed. The incident that made it clear this was necessary, was a criminal who murdered and dismembered his pregnant girlfriend, fled to Hong Kong and then couldn't be returned home to face trial.

So, keeping that guy from facing justice was the context in which everything else has to be considered. The """protests""" were deeply unpopular among the majority of the residents of Hong Kong. The protesters themselves, as well as being frequently racist against mainlanders, displayed an extreme nostalgia for the British control of Hong Kong, waving UK flags and writing their protest signs in English (the most obvious tell that a """protest""" is actually for the benefit of foreign audiences rather than being an organic movement of local people). It's important to note that under British rule... there was no democracy. Afterwards, a lot of """protesters""" """fled""" to the UK, where a large number of them now live in destitution due to the UK's atrocious cost of living and the fact they're no longer useful imperial puppets.

In the first three days of the George Floyd uprisings, US police arrested more people than HK police had in six months. By the end of the first week US police had also killed more people (directly involved in the protests that is, on average daily US police murders would constitute a civil war in any other country) than had died during the HK protests, three in total: one protester who fell off a rooftop, one old man who was a street-sweeper that got hit in the head with a brick thrown by a protester, and one mainlander businessman who was doused in gasoline and set on fire by protesters.

Also in attendance, unaccountably, were various Ukrainian neonazis who, for some reason, were super invested in these astroturfed protests about a highly specific local legal matter.

Here's some bozo from the Azov battalion, the most vicious of the neonazi paramilitaries, posing in Hong Kong (and him again later, after he was partially denazified while persecuting Russian-speaking Ukrainians in the Donbas region). Sending in Ukrainian fascist mercenaries is usually a good sign that the imperial intelligence apparatus is involved.

Lastly, not only do the Chinese people feel (correctly) that their political system is more democratic than the people of the UK think theirs is, they also think democracy is more important than the population of the UK does

So maybe take this into account when your white chauvinistic ass starts spouting regurgitated bullshit about what other people around the world, people your empire subjugated, really want.

Also "liberation" motherfucker if you were born then, you would have enthusiastically joined the volksturm

You're right, their ingrained ideology filters out information like that before it ever even reaches their brain.

Lo, did King Georgius of the Hedge, second of his name, perforce, in expansion of his realm, commission that this deed be done.

 

Walking on the soyMilky Way

 

This story sets my blood absolutely boiling every time it comes up. A 15 year old girl was sex trafficked to Syrian extremists, by a people-smuggling ring run by a man later discovered to be a Canadian intelligence asset, was "married" within 10 days of arriving in Syria, had three children before she was 19 all of whom died, and the day after she was discovered alive in a refugee camp and expressed her wish to come home, she was illegally made stateless by the Home Secretary revoking her British passport in the name of """protecting national security""".

And these savages are literally baying for her blood, gleefully pointing out "It's not illegal because she's not stateless, she can go to Bangladesh, oh but they dispute that she's a citizen and they've said if she goes there they'll hang her for terrorism! Hahaha! pLaY sTuPid GaMeS " smuglord

but she still has extremist beliefs and won't condemn ISIS

OF COURSE SHE FUCKING DOES, SHE'S LIVED IN A TENT IN THE DESERT SINCE SHE WAS 15. HOW COULD SHE POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN DERADICALIZED?? Oh, some fucking "anonymous source" in the Telegraph says she was "an 'enforcer' in IS's 'morality police'"? That's fucked up, did she like do anything or kill anyone though? No? Of course not.

These same fucking people will then turn around and shed their crocodile tears about oppression in Xinjiang. If she was Chinese she'd have been brought back, put in a deradicalization center for a few months to a year, given teaching on why her extreme beliefs were wrong along with some education and training, and now she'd be working in a garment factory or something, with a long and normal life ahead of her. Instead the compassionate, civilized West has condemned her to a legal black hole, trapped with no future in the desert camp that her children died in, for the crime of being kidnapped as a child by our own spies, to an extremist organization that, as we all know here, is a US project.

The whole thing is a perfect encapsulation of the inherent brutal, savage cruelty and criminality of western regimes and the bootlickers in their population. I try to remind myself that there are good people here who also think this is a travesty, but when I read this thread I can only get a few comments in before I get the urge, like bile rising up my throat, to scream UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON THE FIRST WORLD.

inshallah-script the forgiveness they have shown her, will in turn one day be shown to them.

 

Redditors react to a video of a bike ride around Pyongyang

Video: the most normal city ever filmed

Redditors: So spooky! Everything looks... wrong! This guy is taking his life in his hands to film this! avgn-horror

Also Redditors: Looks too normal, this has to be staged, they're actors and this is a propaganda channel! phoenix-objection-1phoenix-objection-1


Side note: my tolerance for western bullshit on the DPRK has reached the negatives, five seconds in these comments and you can cook an egg with my blood. Salute to the small handful of brave comrades pushing back on propaganda in the replies kim-salute

 

Laugh! Laugh at the inferiority of the untermenschen-crafted weapon! soypoint-2

Featuring such golden comment chains as:

One a/c on the assembly line. Look at manufacturing sites for F-35 and F-22. Dozens of aircraft lined up. That’s the difference.

That’s the first thing I noticed. Russian industrial capacity has literally collapsed, I never realized they were this weak. Compare that to their Chinese allies who have been able to produce an impressive number of J20s pretty fast even though the SU57 had its test flight earlier

Too many people stealing money and limiting their capabilities. Good lol*

*not like our trustworthy Raytheons and Northrop-Grummans, of course edgeworth-smug
