The fact that it was reported as a 'secret side deal' would suggest that it is either illegal, or that those initiating it perceived it to be illegal, or just unethical at the very least- still troubling.

Do people still doubt Russia is loving with the world? Their geopolitical "experts" write books openly stating how they're gonna gently caress the EU and the US up. They wrote of taking back Ukraine a few years before they totally didn't invade Ukraine. Russia is wearing its plans on its sleeve and they keep blindsiding everyone.

For a generation raised on 'elf and 'afety, the dimension of a politics where dropping concrete blocks on scabs is seen as a winning move is just alien; the notion that the riot police don't have a trump card on any kind of crowd management is an outrageous lapse of state responsibility rather than a rollback of a hard-won permissive society; and coal and linotype both seem curiously luddite)

She wasnt assassinated it was just an unstable lone wolf its completely not political in nature move along move along  Every time I am reminded of Jo Cox I inevitably remember the sheer callousness and inaction that proceeded her assassination (and it was a fuckin political assassination). It was a moment where i thought "gently caress me maybe her death will mean something and change things for the better" But no.

baying about the transparent influence of foreign money on one's civil society used to be so very Soviet remember when all the tankies were complaining about the entire world around them falling in love with colour revolutions when these are self-evidently CIA-sponsored coups, look, they aren't even trying to hide their affiliation and funding?

Blair et al decided what was in their best interests of the most people, and developed in parallel the plan for establishing a consensus for it along with the plan for implementing it. The problem is, every time you pretend something is a problem, someone somewhere becomes convinced that it is; the CIA in the Middle East was happy to let Islamic militants think their faith was under threat.
