Welcome to the multipolar world, New York Times! And to the western ruling "elite": thank you for sanctioning Russia, you moronic imperialist scum. Now there is an alternative global financial architecture forming that will make western sanctions toothless and ineffectual, even against small countries you used to be able to bully, choke and rob. One step closer to the comprehensive defeat of the arrogant West, one step closer to the complete liberation of the global south.

usa helps israel to dodge sanctions so shrug-outta-hecks

[-] knfrmity@lemmygrad.ml 62 points 1 year ago

Last I checked, neither Russia nor DPRK have any law that requires them to follow sanctions made up by the USA.

I suppose now that russia is once again a pariah state they have no reason to tow the line on dprk sanctions. Cant wait until the libs say putin moved wmd into north korea or some shit like that.

TBF also- the sanctions have no legitimacy on them; US unilateral sanctions are illegal, just another part of the western "rules based order" that flies in direct contradiction of all basic notions of decency and international consensus.

The ones increasingly becoming pariahs, are the west. Which is a good thing- as a Canadian I look forward to the day when all the devil cracker countries (including my own) are held to account for their crimes.

I've seen this twice now, so I feel compelled to help out. The idiom is "toe the line" not, "tow the line". https://www.vocabulary.com/articles/pardon-the-expression/toe-the-line-vs-tow-the-line/

How I remember the difference:

Towing is what you do with boats and trucks.

Toeing is what you do with lines and foot fetishists.

Ah more good news 🙌🏿

Wow Putin must be a mad man, the reasonable thing to do would be helping burguerstates enforce sanctions

[-] Shrike502@lemmygrad.ml 33 points 1 year ago

You jest, but I've met people - in Russia, not online - that appear to genuinely think that.

Not to mention USA routinely and openly demands support from countries they openly call "hostile", like China, against those countries allies, partners and other friendlies.

uncritical support for the DPRK in its heroic struggle to liberate occupied Korea from the genocidal American empire

[-] supersolid_snake@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 1 year ago

You are right to criticize Putin NYT, he isn't going far enough. He should give kinzhals to Gaza.

Critical support to Russia in aiding the DPRK with its heroic struggle to liberate Occupied Korea

[-] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 year ago

oh no, anyway

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

Not my problem

A economically resurgent DPRK would be one of the greatest things to happen in the next decade
