They’re a columnist, they’re just there to say something controversial and get people to buy the newspaper.
Nah, we’re strutting around like we’re the first mass extinction event the planet’s ever seen. The K-T asteroid didn’t worry itself with random moths, why should we?
gnutrinoto World News@lemmy.ml•China to donate $500 million to WHO, stepping into gap left by U.S.English1·12 hours agoWish we could see that in the west.
I mean, where do you think the rest of the WHO’s funding comes from?
$500m over 5 years isn’t even that much for the world’s second biggest economy, that barely breaks them into the top 10 funders. Certainly welcome given Trump’s withdrawal but back when the US was lead by marginally sane people, it was providing twice that amount every year.
It’s so wild that every time I see this I think it’s been photoshoped and have to remind myself that this did really happen.
gnutrinoto News@lemmy.world•Two Israeli embassy staff shot dead near Washington DC Jewish museumEnglish586·1 day agoYou’re badly underestimating the scale of some of the post WWII genocides. The Khemer Rouge potentially killed more people than the total population of Gaza for example…

Kennedy got to the moon by giving some Nazis a free pass for heavy participation in the Holocaust.
This is a bit of a stretch. Von Braun and co already got their free pass long before Kennedy became president.

gnutrinoto World News@lemmy.ml•Russia jails Australian man for fighting alongside UkraineEnglish87·6 days agoIt says he was convicted in a Russian-controlled court which is not at all the same thing. International law is clear on this and Russia is clearly breeching it.
Try putting some more effort into your trolling, I quoted the actual appropriate law.
gnutrinoto World News@lemmy.ml•Russia jails Australian man for fighting alongside UkraineEnglish88·6 days agoHe is a member of the International Legion for the Defence of Ukraine and as such is unambiguously not a mercenary by the definition used in the Geneva Convention and so is owed the protections afforded to prisoners of war.
Specifically, article 47 of Protocol 1 is clear that a neccesary condition to be considered a mercenary is that a person:
is not a member of the armed forces of a Party to the conflict
The fact that Russia has a history of ignoring this is not the knock-out argument you seem to think it is.

Neat, I’ve always wanted a Palestine. Where can I pick it up?
That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange eons even Digg may come back.
