The US has rejected a Canadian proposal to establish a task force that would tackle Russia’s so-called “shadow fleet” of oil tankers, according to reports last night.
Canada, which has the current Group of Seven presidency, proposed the measure ahead of a meeting of G7 foreign ministers in Quebec later this week.
In negotiations to agree a joint statement on maritime issues, the US is pushing to strengthen language about China while watering down wording on Russia, the reports said.
Correct. Nice to see headlines reflecting the complicity of the nation.
Fuck you, fix your country before we all die.
Fuck you.
If you’re waiting on Americans to storm the capital, then you’re going to have to wait until a Democrat wins the presidency again.
There’s no guarantee the constitution will last long enough for there to be another election. Why are you all waiting for something that may not come?
💀
You act like it’s an America problem and not a billionaire problem. Where do you live that you think the same billionaires don’t own you too?
We need to transcend nations before we all die and a handful of oligarchs have power forever.
You are right, but as citizens in nations, we can only demand solutions at the national level. Right now in that regard the problems are with the oligarchs in Russia and the oligarchs in the US, and they have control each of their respective countries. We are very well aware that there are rich assholes willing to play to Putin’s tune in many of our countries and that they are financing opposition parties considerably.
When oligarchs in russia behave like Musk, they soon fall out of the window.
Putin is the biggest oligarch in Russia.
We keep limiting ourselves to just citizens in nations, we’re going to keep repeating the same patterns nations repeat. Genocide still happens, war still happens, and the collective problem of climate change looms large. No one nation, not even America, is a match for the power these corporations have. We have no newspapers, free press is close to dead, and we’re uneducated. Anyone pinning their hopes on America figuring anything out doesn’t know how misinformed we are. If we can’t come together now, when we’re finally all connected, with the ability to instantly translate each other’s words, is it crazy to think we can do a little better?
一会儿回来，通过WhatsApp建立国际世界秩序。你那边有自动翻译吧？
Did you mis the part about how it is a single >>NATION<< that veto’d the shadow oil fleet ban? So obviously a nation is the problem here, and of course the billionaires who have taken control of that nation.
It’s just a mask at this point. As soon as all the public services are privatized, along with military, and elections can be bought, what is a government at that point? Where is the distinction if they’re all paid off by the same people? At this point it’s become a sport for the ultra-wealthy to just buy countries like a sports team. Trump is even wheeling and dealing to buy other countries, this is how shallow the meaning of nation has become. America: sponsored by Musk and Thiel.
Lmao Don’t act like people from the US didn’t vote for exactly this. This is an America problem. Through and through. FAFO
I love that you invoke FAFO and clearly don’t see the irony.
btw, you’re acting exactly like the magats do.
good luck staying in that ivory tower.
Lordy what ivory tower? Lmao.
How many decades has the united States told other countries how they are the shining beacon on the hill? How long has the US put their finger in latin America? How many more American guns need to come into my country.
You all were told that electing that idiot into office would have horrendous outcomes, not only for the US, but for the world. Y’all did it twice. Hence the FAFO
Americans absolutely did not vote for this! You call an election where one man can pay out a quarter billion - legally - a fair election? Do you think 90% of Russians vote for Putin too? We’re cooked and getting more cooked. Point and laugh and act like this isn’t bad news for the world.
Voted for it twice. C’mon now. This has been a long time coming. Trump-phenomenon didn’t happen overnight or in this last election.
And I’m not pointing or laughing. I didn’t learn English because it’s fun, I dreamed about living the American dream. I believed in the US. I grew up on GI Joe. It’s sad actually. I remember when the USSR was the enemy and now y’alls UN vote is aligned. The US soft power has plummeted.
