Goddam that is harsh for those Cocoa farmers. I wasn’t even aware prices had dropped.
No wonder it was a huge deal for farmers when EU (EEC) managed to get most of these issues under control for European farmers.

No problem giving those codes to minors. I bet such codes would be sold on the net withing 1 minute of the release of such a system.

Obviously calling for a diplomatic solution makes no sense until AFTER the invasion.
Before that as you mention, even Zelensky didn’t think the Russians would invade.

Why would China call for a diplomatic solution to something that hasn’t happened yet?

An ambassador simply can’t make such a promise, you are being ridiculous.
My guess is you are parroting Russian propaganda, because it sounds just like it.

As I CLEARLY stated earlier, there are no official agreements to anything like that.
If there were, you should point to that, instead of what some cleaning lady may have said, which is about as valid an international agreement as some diplomat saying something on TV.

If it’s illegal anyway, you might as well pirate it.

to be unopposed.

I absolutely have NEVER argued that it should be unopposed, what a giant straw man!
You seem delusional.

Nope, no such promise was ever part of any formal agreement between NATO/USA and Russia.
It would also be pretty moronic, since voluntary unification of Germany was always a goal for West Germany. Which would automatically move the NATO border east.

There was possibly a promise that East Germany would not be used by NATO forces, but that agreement had nothing to do with including new member countries.
Also that agreement wasn’t formal, and was definitely not meant to be binding long term.

Chrome OS is a surveillance tool for Google and authorities, and should be illegal to give to minors.
It’s actually illegal in EU, except for some reason EU is giving it a pass.

Clearly the linked article is shown under news, you can see the news tab selected (underlined in red) when opening the article from the link:

It’s more like bad and way worse.
Although Schumer is making a good job of blurring the lines.

Iirc they said that diplomatic measures should’ve been employed instead.

Which is total bullshit, what diplomatic measureless were necessary or even possible? When Ukraine was absolutely peaceful, and Putin was promised that Ukraine wouldn’t become a NATO member? And Putin attacked Ukraine with an argument of denazification, which is insane since Ukraine is a democracy, and their leader is Jewish! Of the 2 Russia is clearly the very Nazi like totalitarian regime.

That statement by China was for appearances only, it was hollow and completely lacked any criticism of Putin or Russia or the war crimes Russia is committing.

Which is why I don’t remember China speaking against the war in any real way.

For tens of millions of people, democratic life has been absent for decades

Absolutely 100% this! I’ve been arguing this exact point numerous times, US democracy is dysfunctional, and it’s only gotten worse for decades.

Under “US News” making it also a News article.

Edit:
It could also be argued that the conclusion is a news item in itself. Which the article explains how is arrived at.

Edit 2: When you open the article from the link OP provided, you can see you are in the news section, as it is underlined in red.

As I recall it, that was a bit ambiguous.

How about Russia de-escalate in Ukraine? They are currently sending 2000+ drones against Ukraine in their completely baseless illegal war. Causing massive suffering among a people Russia has calls family.

Wow you are doubling down on nuclear war! You really are insane. 🤮

False equivalence.

Seventh they couldn’t hide.

You don’t understand the situation. China does not consider Taiwan a separate independent country, and has never recognized it as such. Unfortunately USA and most of the world has agreed to accept the 1 China policy, which means Taiwan is not treated as a real country in many international contexts.
China see Taiwan as an occupied part of China.
So by their definition they are within their right to attack Taiwan, including by international law as they see it.
So in their view, they can say this, and attack Taiwan, without seeing that as a double standard. And the west has basically agreed to it from a legal perspective. But at the same time USA say they protect Taiwan, which would traditionally have meant likely the rest of NATO too. But now NATO is in shambles because of Trump, so maybe USA will be alone now. America first!

We absolutely do NOT want to escalate it to a nuclear war, are you insane?
