Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlOPto World News@lemmy.ml•The U.S. Rushes its “Gang Suppression Force” in Haiti Through the UN Security Council, Despite Protests and Warnings from Russia and China4·20 days agoThe current Haitian government is a provisory council appointed by the OAS, armed with Washington-paid Kenyan police, and some of the “gangs” are demanding new elections since the president was assassinated in 2019, and also calling for a more sovereign Haiti.
It’s a mess, but also seems inline the renewal in focus on the Caribbean. Control the Sea around Venezuela, isolate Colombia and Mexico’s East while retaking the Panama Canal and Ecuador.
Conselheiro@lemmygrad.mlto World News@lemmy.ml•Russia will use nuclear weapons in response to attacks deep into the country — deputy Kolesnik2·2 months agoITT: people confusing remarks by a parlamentarian as official statements by the Ministry of Defense or the head of the executive.
The red line about deep strikes has been around ever since the beginning of the war, with only minor adjustment of nuclear policy since the Storm Shadow/ATACMS deployment back in November last year. Instead of nuclear war all we got was the live test of the Oreshnik.
The current Russian leadership is cautious to a fault when it comes to nuclear escalation. A single parlamentarian is not going to change that, and the headline is misleading. Instead of being smug about it for the 100th time since the beginning of the war, pray that the UA army doesn’t get their hands on a dirty bomb.
That applies to Zelensky too. Also to most states supported by NATO, or the portrayal of those antagonized by NATO. It’s almost as if it’s a worthless definition.
