That is true

The removals are a product of the longstanding Safe Third Country Agreement, which requires anyone seeking refugee protection in Canada or the U.S. to claim asylum in the first of the two countries they reach.

I understand why they've had that agreement. However, it should've been obvious for some time now that maybe that's an agreement they should bin? It's blatantly obvious the us don't treat refugees/asylum seekers the way they deserve at the moment

It's a school bus test. Children are easily distracted and may run across the street. Doesn't mean that they deserve to die so Musk can sell poorly regulated cars

Ooh, this seems to be right up my alley. Will give the album a listen

Thanks for the link and history lesson

And what a way to do it!

So they asked beforehand if there was space for them, and they were told it was not. They were told by the police to exit the highway, and they did not.

Unless there's more to the story than what the article says, this is some seriously entitled behaviour

It's the betrayal. The US were supposed to be our allies, our friends. And now a large part of their population have shown their true colours. They will burn all the bridges they've built over decades at the whims of a fascist moron.

If this is what the US are now, this fascist, law neglecting state. Then I'm not sure they are a lesser evil. I'm struggling to see how the current regime is any better than the CCP. And that's saying a lot.

It sucks that we have to deal with one fully authoritarian state and one wannabe as the two major states

Such a good band. I especially like how their albums are quite different, but still, not. Gonna be listening to some Isis today as well

Everything else aside. Asparagus are delicious

I'm not sure it's possible to be agitated while listening to this

On the off chance any trump supporters are reading this. We are, hopefully, banding closer together because your leaders are alienating you from us. We never wanted this trade war and we never asked to have our sovereignty threatened.

It's not against you. It's for us. You're stepping away from your allies, so we have to be closer.

I'm kinda on board for the arson as well. There are a lot of people who don't give a shit about who they support if they can get a car for cheap. But if that car brings the with it the risk of being set on fire or just generally vandalised then maybe that would make self serving cunts rethink their purchase as well.

Weird to say, but trash new teslas

It does to them. Then both the us and russia can't point their fingers at Ukraine for being the aggressor when they won't adhere to their ridiculous demands. Thus giving them ammunition for their propaganda machines around the world painting Ukraine as unreasonable warmongers.

I don't know man. Thinking of non-straight people as lesser and even arguing for it makes you a piece of shit in my eyes

Lucky for me that I'm Norwegian then. And guess what, mine and a lot of Norwegians moral compass align with the EUs, in general. Especially now with the current regime in the US who clearly see us as adversaries or even enemies, these are our closest moral and ethical allies. At least when it comes to the Russian invasion, which again, this post is about!

Of course I'm arguing from a perceived moral high ground. Why on earth would I argue from a position where I meant I was in the wrong?

And just to be absolutely clear. There's not a single Nation I can think of who's handled Israel's despicable actions in the right way. We can only hope the people in charge will see consequences for their actions. That doesn't mean people of those nations aren't entitled to take an ethical and moral standpoint.

I'm going to stop replying now. Have a good day

Mate, it's a post about Hungary, again, being an obstruction that benefits an invading nation.

If no-one were allowed to criticise another country's leader for their actions because of their own countries appalling handling of Israel, then you wouldn't have many who'd be allowed to speak up.

Not many countries have taken their kiddie gloves off when it comes to Israel's genocide. However some of those countries have other values that are closer to my own than others.

Since you're already hellbent on moving the goalpost, how about we flip this back to you. What country, state or collective has a better moral compass and has handled Israel's atrocities well?

Oh I'm sorry. Point to my reply where I defended Israel

We won't be dragged into this? Well they don't get to make that choice. Russia already dragged everyone into this when they invaded a sovereign nation. You can't really claim indifference to an invasion, that's the same as condoning it. I agree with a lot of other people on this thread. Suspend them until they prove their moral compass aligns with ours. Now they're just working to hinder our democracy
