I think the EU could reasonably accept it if England accepts it. The Catalonians would try to get a new referendum of their own regardless and the Spanish might block the breakaway states from joining the EU until after they screw over Catalonias new bid for independence.

Russia is playing both sides and causing chaos. It doesn't matter if this scheme succeeds, all that matters is that they further destabilized a proud European nation.

Structurally he basically can't recognize Kosovo because doing so legitimizes the Donetsk and Luhansk breakaway republics since they are broadly similar situations.

Also, what's up with this "Israel" thing where Palestine should be?

“Look what we’ve done here. I almost cried… How long have we been pushing this?” Graham says after U.S. strikes begin.

on assassinating world leaders, bombing schools, and destroying the global economy.

Ukraine doesn't matter to Iran's defense. Behind the scenes if Russia has info on where Ukrainian drone advisors to Israel are, then they might share that info with Iran and get a few good hits when attacking the entity but something targeted like that probably won't be public knowledge.

We can't escape this cycle because there is no alternative to American military supremacy. Hegseth is a true believer in dumb warrior ethos crusader shit. Trump only understands American military power because he sees cool explosions on TV. In the foreign and exotic occident, there is a culture of "saving face" and some users here have posted articles about how Hegseth isn't being told the truth because he keeps firing people and creating a culture of fear.

Some ships are taking risks believing Trump's promises that the strait is open.

I really doubt this is true. How many times have ships been hit at this point? The boat owners probably just want to try their luck and don't care if their crews die. They need to sell their oil.

The US also has a "politically neutral" military. Many here won't appreciate me using that term, because - yes - the actions of the military are not separate from politics.

Nonpartisan is probably the better word.

China has a political military (or so I've been told), to avoid the downfall we saw in the soviet union.

The government of China technically has no military but the CPC has the PLA.

They can’t even define what a Latino is
