Where does it say that? How would this be enforced?
Ich sag nicht die diplomatischen Beziehungen kappen, sondern die diplomatische Unterstützung einstellen. Deutschland gibt Israel bei der UN und international Rückendeckung.
Makes no sense for Ukraine to do this on purpose. They gain nothing.
The "Houthis" (Ansarallah) didn't shoot at ships without provocation. They did it as a response to the genocide in Gaza, out of solidarity, to implement a blockade. They said as much, and the article explains this.
The author seems concerned that if the people [...] are labeled terrorists, they might receive less aid, even though aid exemptions have been added?
First of all, the author is not (only, primarily) concerned with aid, but rather trade.
Secondly, and the article explains that but maybe not clearly enough, but sanctions cause lots of companies to stop all dealings with the sanctioned entity, despite humanitarian exceptions. This causes massive friction not just for trade, but also for humanitarian aid, as the humanitarian aid groups need to contract out e.g. logistics to companies, and they need to be able to do payments. Sanctions always cause collateral damage in this way, because they create lots of paperwork and legal grey areas, and companies do not want to deal with this.
Potentially receiving less aid seems like a reasonable consequence
You are aware that thanks to the previous Saudi (and US backed) blockade and US sanctions on Yemen, hundreds of thousands of people died, mostly due to starvation and such, and most of them children. Starving children may very well be the consequence of the US's actions. Do you really think that's fucking reasonable?
"They can't do that! You can't negotiate with Hitler, remember? That's appeasement!"
"Who are they to tell Ukraine anything! It's a sovereign country! By telling them to negotiate they're basically helping Putin! Fuck those pro-Russian traitors!"
"Ukraine's negotiation position is weak now, they will be in a much better position after the upcoming spring offensive!"
China is exertng their economic power in Africa nation building all the time.
Exerting? How? Are they threatening sanctions like the US? Are they forcing "structural reforms" on them like the IMF?
Their nuclear arms stockpile is fastest growing.
Says who? Last time I checked the US stockpile is more than 10x larger still.
China make a habit of stealing IP so much [...]
Does this comment have a point or are you just collecting random brainworms?
No he hasn't. The management of the old x.com (the one that got bought by paypal) threatened to walk if Elon wasn't removed from the office. He was always this incompetent.
Move where? Another apartment where another landlord is going to hurt me financially? What does your believe system say should be done when my freedom from harm is being infringed upon?
I appreciate the stab at the US empire, but if I may be serious for a moment: It makes no sense to come here to steal our shit when there's countless stars and planets in the universe. I don't even think it makes the least bit of sense for humans to ever go to Mars and mine minerals there, given the logistics involved. Any alien smart enough to come here is going to be smart enough to realize that going to the pub is way easier and more fun.

Raymond is a fucking fascist.
CW racism
He'd call himself a libertarian, but he's the kind of libertarian that wants to bomb muslims for hating our freedoms and thinks black people are just naturally more criminal because they have the crime gene or something, and no I'm not making this up.Plus he's one of the "open source" rebrand types, so as not to scare the ~~hoes~~ corporations with too much scary "free software" hippie communism.
