I think the UK and US kept the military base though

Unrelated to China, but why is the Vietnam War listed as Indecisive or unclear outcome?

During the first and second Afghan civil-war there were also border skirmishes

Marcellus Williams was charged with the murder of Felicia Gayle. Prosecutors based evidence mainly on alleged confessions Williams had made, including one alleged by a jailhouse snitch.

In August 2001, Williams was sentenced to death. On appeal, he raised several issues, including claims of errors in evidentiary rulings, jury instructions, and victim impact testimony. He also challenged the use of his prior criminal history and alleged improper prosecutorial comments during closing arguments.

The death sentence was controversial, as DNA evidence had been claimed to prove his innocence, and the family of Gayle repeatedly stating they did not want Williams executed.

Despite pleas from the public and the family of Gayle stating they were opposed to the execution, on September 24, 2024, 55-year-old Williams was executed by lethal injection at 6 p.m. CT.

So, even the family of the victim was against it. An innocent man died while the real criminal is out there.

It’s posadas time!

There are a lot of people in South Korea that hates the US and Japan way more than the DPRK or China. There are still a strong anti-US sentiment in Okinawa and near US bases in Japan, these led to the 1960 and 1970 Anpo protests in Japan.

Actually it was President Rutherford B. Hayes who removed Federal Troops from the South and ended Reconstruction.

No, Bolsonaro refused to accept defeat, he tried everything to reverse the election results. Until the Army, the Air Force and the neoliberal Ghouls told him to accept defeat. Even so, he still tried to stage a coup in the government on January 8th.

And unlike in the US, there was an actual document that the military wanted Lula to sign in order to order the army to take over the government. It’s a bit like the one they made Pedro Castillo sign, but it’s not the same thing.

Lula decided not to sign and chose to use his powers as president to intervene in state security and order the police to repress and arrest the Bolsonaro supporters. And so they ended up being arrested, forced to shower and vaxxed.

He did, but he got “sick” and went to a hospital. Then he saw the medical bill, then he got healthy again really fast after that, and his visa expired so he had to return to Brazil. And some weeks later he lost his political rights until 2030 (He lost it two times, now he can’t run in 2030, which means his rights will only return in 2034).

Most of the world thinks that the two-state solution is the best compromise for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, probably not the best solution, but if they find a way to do it right.

Besides, it would be very interesting to see Israel crumble with the decline of the US, and Palestine prosper with BRICS+ and the Road and Belt initiative.

He doesn’t have any support on the legislative, and he said he’ll cut relations with both Brazil and China. He’ll probably be dead in 6 months lol.

So now Argentina is controlled by a dead dog?

Yes… Actually no, it would actually is controlled by the same neoliberals that Milei said he was going to destroy. Mauricio Macri and Patricia Bullrich, the two people responsable for the current economical crisis.

But why do people choose him?

Socdems said they wouldn’t pay the IMF loans, but then they decided to pay it. The economy started to collapse shortly after this, and they are suffering from a really bad drought which doesn’t help their economy.

Gabe was talking about the making of Half Life, back when you shipped your disc and that was that. And the game was, apparently, crapola.

There were patch and updates back in the day. The problem was that not everybody had a good internet connection or a connection at all, during the 90’s.

Games like Daikatana and SiN were flops due to bugs that required patches to fix.

without giving a coherent explanation for the second veto

They said that they vetoed because “Brazil didn’t say that Israel has a right of self-defense”.

Gustavo Petro and Lula da Silva had been talking to Biden since they were elected about lifting the sanctions. I think Spain was supporting it too.

The only thing left to do is to reinstate Venezuela as a member of Mercusur.

During World War II, Hamsun put his support behind the German war effort. He courted and met with high-ranking Nazi officers, including Adolf Hitler. Nazi Minister of Propaganda Joseph Goebbels wrote a long and enthusiastic diary entry concerning a private meeting with Hamsun; according to Goebbels Hamsun’s “faith in German victory is unshakable”.

In 1940 Hamsun wrote that “the Germans are fighting for us”. After Hitler’s death, he published a short obituary in which he described him as “a warrior for mankind” and “a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations.”

After the war, he was detained by police on 14 June 1945, for treason, then committed to a hospital in Grimstad (Grimstad sykehus) “due to his advanced age”, according to Einar Kringlen (a professor and medical doctor). In 1947 he was tried in Grimstad, and fined. Norway’s supreme court reduced the fine from 575,000 to 325,000 Norwegian kroner.

The whereabouts of Hamsun’s medal remain unknown.

Every now and then Jimmy Carter tells the truth, but he’s still a pos who helped create neoliberalism and destroyed Afghanistan by arming terrorist groups, ended Nixon’s détente with the Soviets and almost invaded Iran.

I remember him saying how the USA screwed up North Korea, that it was the US’s fault. He did the same in Cuba, Venezuela and Syria. I think that since he’s already 100 years old and no longer has any power or influence within his own party, and most people hated him when he was president, he doesn’t care anymore if the CIA is going to kill him. He can just tell the truth and there’s no problem. He can just tell the truth and nobody will care.

This whole situation is the fault of the US and France. This is their 4th invasion of Haiti, they never solve anything, they just do this shit to further oppress the Haitian people and steal more of Haiti’s resources.

The only time anything good came out of these interventions was the restoration of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who seemed to be the only recent head of state who actually cared about Haiti. And even then, the United States removed him from power in 2004.

Hitler + Stalin = ?
