People actually study this stuff. There's only a handful of countries less corrupt than USA. And most of them are tiny countries like Denmark and Sweden. Its way easier to manage corruption in a small country. Which makes USA's low corruption all the more imptressive...
The thing with USA, and which makes it rare, is how critical Americans are of how badly USA is working. USA is exceedingly transparent and its easy to check where money is going. The average American also seems to give a shit.
Most other countries are different.
Comparatively USA is doing...
That's not necessarily true. Everything is connected. At the start of the war Ukraine was a dysfunctional corrupt mess. It still is. If we (the west) wants Ukraine to reform we need some leverage. If the west would have put boots on the ground immediately, then there would have been no incentive...
It looks unlikely that Ukraine can win without foreign boots on the ground. Russia now has a 10 - 1 manpower advantage. And a 3 - 1 artillery advantage. And Russia just keeps increasing military output, while Ukraines arms donors are getting increasingly stingy.
Russia needs to be stopped, and...
Any country that is a member of ICC can start a case. Until the case is won there doesn’t need to be any substance to an accusation.
I see this case against Netanyahu as pure politics. Since Netanyahu can prove that the IDF has done there best to protect Palestinian civilians, while trying to...
But it's funny how Egypt and Qatar comes up with a suggestion for a truce deal. Hammas accepts it. Israel rejects the terms of the truce deal outright. How about Egypt first talks to both parties, come up with a set of terms both can agree to and after that ask the two sides if they can agree to...
Please, reality check. Hammas are still holding the Israeli hostages. So obviously Israel hasn't put enough pressure on Hammas. Hammas are the one forcing Israel to go through Palestinian civilians to get to them.
The IDF are doing their best not to kill Palestinian cilvilians. But due to how...
Unfortunately, they are. Collectively. Within Islam they have a thing called "Zakat", a duty to give to charity. It's one of the main pillars of Islam. And they're only allowed to give to explicitly Islamic organisations. That makes it a bit complicated for nominally secular organisations to...
That's not the problem. Loads of newly liberated countries that have free and fair elections rapidly go to shit.
The problem wasn’t the freeness or fairness of the election. The problem is that people will vote for what they think is in their own best interest.
Even before 7/10 Gaza was...
Jesus what a load of rubbish. Stop reading antisemitic propaganda. This is all nonsense
When Hammas got power in Gaza they dismantled the, Jewish built, farms and converted them to military installations. They, on purpose, wrecked the economy, to make them dependent on Iranian money so Iran...
The Palestinians don’t have to be poor. If they stopped using all their energy on attacking Israel, then perhaps they can make some money. Like they did before Isarel handed over control to the PA
The suicide bombings went from a problem to rare after that wall came up. I think, for the safety...
I don't think it's a good idea to give Hammas a chance to regroup. I think the correct strategy is to keep pushing these fuckers until they break. Yes, it's a shame that Hammas does all in the power to put Palestinia civilians at risk. But the solution here isn't to be soft on Hammas.
Lol...
The best chant slogan I have heard during this conflict is, "Let them live, the children of Gaza and Tel-Aviv".
How about we all try to make that happen? Step one has to be to destroy Hammas and let Israel handle security from now on. We can debate all day why the Gaza authorities were unable...
