You’re just denying the whole principle of Self-Determination

Did you ask Tibetan people what they believe of this? There hasn’t ever been any significant independence movement in Tibet regarding this. I could compare that to my homeland of Spain, which had literal terrorist strikes from ETA because of Basque independence movements, and Catalonia’s extremely tense political situation that led to the imprisonment sentences of high-profile pro-independence politicians such as Charles Puidgemont or Oriol Junqueras. Nothing like this has been seen in Tibet, you’re literally pretending you know better about the self-governance of Tibet than Tibetans themselves. There is not any significant pro-independence political or social movement in Tibet, you’re making up the question of self-determination based on ideas and comparing with the west without analyzing the particular situation of Tibet or the desires of Tibetans.

Yeah, sure, the Hun live great lives in Tibet

You probably mean Han? Are you really trying to argue about ethnic policy in China and you literally cannot spell the name of the majority ethnicity in the country? You’re not arguing from a point of being well informed and well-read on the topic, you’re literally repeating Reddit comment-level propaganda.

what about the ethnic-Tibetans? This is like saying the territory of Palestine is much better as it is now with a big chunk of it occupied by Israel

Honestly, you’re just showing you are literally making up reality with that comparison, proving yet again that you have literally no idea about the topic. Ethnic Tibetans make up 85+% of the population in the region, Han peoples are 12%ish. Open a book for once in your life and stop regurgitating anti-China propaganda which is clearly not coming from a well-intentioned nuanced critique but from literally made up realities. It’s absolutely fucking insulting that you would dare compare the living standards of ethnic Tibetans in Tibet with the literal genocide of Palestinians in occupied Palestine. This conversation is over, I don’t argue with genocide denialists who minimize the genocide of Palestinians by comparing it to the living conditions of Tibet.

That’s the “they were ruled by evil dictators so we freed them” argument so beloved by Americans

The difference are the results. In Tibet now there’s a high development index state with conservation of their culture, traditions and language, a functioning government with autonomy, and high levels of education and welfare. In Iraq, Syria and Libya, you have dismantled failed states, terrorism, religious extremism, disintegration of infrastructure and a total lack of education and welfare state. If you cared a minimum about informing yourself on Tibet and its inhabitants, you’d know this, instead of swallowing the American propaganda whole and using Tibetans as a political weapon instead of considering them as people with an agency and power.

Communist China has invaded and annexed Tibet.

This is over 50 years ago as I said, and you’re mischaracterizing what happened. Tibet was a feudal kingdom where the vast majority of the population were starved serfs legally bound to the land of their god-given lord. China liberated Tibet from feudalism and rose life expectancy and material conditions massively, while preserving their heritage, language and culture, and a degree of autonomy within China higher than most other regions (Tibet is an autonomous region).

The exact same Principle applies to judging the Russian aggression against Ukraine

The Russian republic had armed conflict in the 90s and 2000s with the Chechen wars, it has precedent of militaristic attitudes.

the American and Israeli aggression against Iran

The US had armed conflict in the 90s, 2000s and 2010s, and Israel has been genociding Palestinians since its inception

and the possible Chinese aggression against Taiwan

China doesn’t have a recent history of militarism. It’s pure speculation and kinda senseless looking at China’s attitudes towards Taiwan and their extensive trade agreements.

Oh wow, thank you so much <3

It’s not an insult, it’s a description of your political position, a shortening of the word “liberal” in the USian sense of the word. I’m not even from the US, you can hardly call me MAGA.

What’s green MAGA? Genuinely curious, I never heard that before. Maybe following the teachings of Gaddafi’s green book?

The western lib obsession with Taiwan is unbelievable. China hasn’t entered a war in 50+ years, it’s literally inconceivable for the western mind that China actually has good trade relations with Taiwan, because you can only understand violence and sanction, as is the case of Cuba by the US.

How’s this post related to Taiwan? Do you have to talk about the island every single time China is mentioned?

What they did do was notify Sri Lanka

We have literally no source for this other than a western analyst speculating about it, what are you talking about?

And why are you bringing up Venezuela?

Because a country not showing any kind of problem carrying out repeated war crimes will continue to carry them out?

I don’t know all risks they may or may not face while surfacing outside of Sri Lankan waters

Yet you’re quick to speculate about airstrike capabilities of Iranian air forces as an excuse for US submarines leaving Iranian navy personnel to die in the water, using a western analyst’s speculations in a clearly US-biased article.

From the linked article:

These rules apply to naval warfare and require belligerents, so far as military circumstances permit, to assist survivors at sea.

In practice, however, submarines face particular challenges in fulfilling this obligation. Surfacing to rescue survivors may expose them to significant risk. You also can’t usually fit a large number of survivors on a submarine.

If a submarine cannot safely surface to rescue survivors, it may instead facilitate rescue by reporting their location to other vessels or authorities.

“Surfacing […] may expose them to significant risk”. Tell me which risk the submarine was facing in Sri fucking Lanka after sinking an Iranian boat.

Wheater or not the sub was in danger in that region is ultimately speculation. It’s possible the ship sent mayday back to Iran, who could have sent aircrafts. Regardless of probability, it is a possibility

Tell me which strike aircraft model Iran possesses that can travel the thousands of kilometers from Iran to Sri Lanka and then back without refueling on the way (Iran, unlike the US, doesn’t have military bases in half the planet). This is bullshit speculation, and the “possibility of air strikes from half an ocean away” argument would render this law of rescue entirely useless forever. Tell me, which risk of retaliation was the US facing when striking and murdering fishermen off the coast of Venezuela and leaving them to die?

The article notes that Sri Lankan rescue ships were quick to arrive at the scene. Possibly due to the US sending a message

Again entirely speculation. Let’s see the country of origin of the author. Oh, it’s an Aussie defense analyst, I’m sure this is totally unbiased and not a propaganda piece to defend western attacks to Iranians!

What ousted them was communism fighting back, but yeah

Nothing in the content of that tweet is refuted by your link, everything in the tweet is factually true. The “rules of warfare” comment refers to leaving the survivors to die only to be rescued by Sri Lankan forces, instead of helping them as they are mandated to do. The submarine was under no risk being in that region, and by avoiding helping the survivors, it committed a war crime.

Tell us, what else in the above tweet is false? The military exercise? The Iranian boat being unarmed? The US pulling out of the exercise to carry out an attack against unarmed members of the Iranian navy? All of that is true. Why are you making such a fool of yourself to defend the Epstein coalition?

Any day now

Bullshit. China is the pioneer in battery technology for years now.

China has the battery production technologies and capabilities, the electric motor production, an unbelievable economy of scale, and insane levels of automation in their EV Factories, those are the main reasons behind their pricing and not “subsidies to destroy our industries”. Most subsidies, AFAIK, were tax cuts to purchases in China.

Russia supports Iran, but this war is a win for Russian interests. It erodes the international order, stamps out rebellion in Iran, boosts oil profitability, reinforces their stance that the neoliberal world order is a threat, and weakens America.

Fully agreed, but that’s all America’s doing. If there’s any implication that Russia somehow controls America while being its nemesis, it doesn’t make much sense.

Russia is actively giving military aid to Iran and vice versa, what are you talking about?

The Spanish PSOE is a socdem party ever so slightly less to the right than the rest of Europe, greatly so because the plurinational nature of our country forcing the party further than it would like to gain the support of more leftist national parties in Euskal Herria and Catalunya. That said, I hope they still win the next elections in favour of the far right coalition of PP + Vox

I’m in deep shame and horror that the military bases in my homeland of Spain were instrumental in the transporting of US aircraft, so I get it.

Zionists and bombing hospitals, name a more iconic duo
