I don’t know if the Safe Third Country agreement would apply to this, since the US wouldn’t be the Third Country. Wouldn’t that only apply if she went from somewhere else in the world to the US and then to Canada. She’s from the US, not from somewhere else coming to Canada via the US. I think if it did she would’ve been deported immediately.

But yeah ending the Safe Third Country agreement needs to be a priority. They’re sending people to a gulag down there FFS, it’s definitely not a safe third country for asylum seekers by any stretch of the imagination.

Wait… are we framing her as a kidnapped child or a POW? Gotta make sure everyone is on the same page when making propaganda about this.

An operation involving naval and air forces by which a belligerent completely prevents movement by sea from or to a port or coast belonging to or occupied by an enemy belligerent. To be mandatory, that is, for third States to be obliged to respect it, the blockade must be effective. This means that it must be maintained by a force sufficient to prevent all access to the enemy coast.

So… according to the link you’ve provided Israel is actually required to board the ship or they can no longer prevent shipments of weapons coming from Iran?

Essentially aid entry is allowed so long as you agree to security arrangements that are both reasonable and lawful.

Has there been any indication these flotilla activists attempted to make such security arrangements with Israel?

Why do you think he’s everything they hate about immigrants? Are you not aware that he’s white?

Gaza is under a declared blockade, Maritime Law (the oldest of international law) allows detaining any ship bound for a blockaded port. It’s really cut and dry, they very publicly declared they were bound for a blockaded port. It’s not like Israel boarded a ship that just happened to be in the area, these freedom flotilla yahoos very publicly declared they were bound for Gaza, which under Maritime Law permits Israel to board it.

International law is an agreement between nations and doesn’t actually restrict nations from doing things that will hurt your feelings. You’re going down the sovcit path when you pretend international law is whatever you want it to be.

We all know Hurricanes jumped the shark with the Katrina. Sure there’s been a few decent seasons after that, but it’s run it’s course and it’s really time to wind it down. It should draw some big ratings for the finale.

Variety reports there’s a spin-off in the works.

Russians keep gravitating towards authoritarians over and over again. Can’t think of any other country that reverted back to it multiple times in a century. Weak people want strong man leaders, just how it is.

I’d hoped Russians could grow a spine and get rid of Putin, but they’ll probably go on riding his dick for the rest of his life. Closest they got to ending that cunt was Prigozhin attempting a coup in a drunken rage, but he sobered up and chickened out before it was done. Just how shit goes in Russia, always on a spectrum between drunkenness and authoritarian dick riding.

If you voted for Trump you voted for hurting people. This is what you voted for.

That’s my type!

Happening already. US trans people are coming to Canada and applying for asylum now.

Apparently your alternative media news has never shown you the palaces the Hamas political leadership in Qatar lived in. I’m using past tense there because most of them are dead now.

But the billions of dollars they hoarded still exists, it’s not like the government of Qatar is going to freeze the assets of Hamas.

You shouldn’t assume that because the people living under an authoritarian regime are poor, the leaders of that regime are also poor. In fact the opposite is more often true.

I think that’s more up to the Russian people than anyone in the west. Russians like strong men, it’s a weakness in their society. Everyone outside Russia wanted it to continue to be a democracy, Russia even had a brief association with NATO while it was. But Yeltsin drank too much (alcoholism being another weakness in Russian society) and that allowed a guy like Putin to make himself a Czar.

Yeah, it seems authoritarianism is bad. Hopefully Russians will figure that out the next go around.

The “let them eat CO2” policy. Yeah, it’s insane, global warming is a solvable problem. We have the technology needed already, we’re just lacking in a willingness to change. The powers that be are going all in on stagnation while facing a crisis.

Yeah the attitude of “let China fix this” is really annoying. Don’t people want to be the world leaders in fixing a global problem?

Also “just let China fix this” means only China will have all of the skill experience with the technology that we’ll all be using in the future. Why would you want that? It’s just laziness plain and simple.

Yup. Also the whole reason China produces the majority of the rare earths isn’t because there’s some cave that only exists in China they come from. It’s because processing rare earths involves toxic waste and it’s cheaper to do it when you’re willing to just dump the toxic waste on the ground, which is what they do in China.

Environmentally motivated tariffs makes a lot of sense, if companies aren’t gaining a competitive edge by being environmentally irresponsible, they will start being more responsible. Trying to appeal to the morals of corporations isn’t going to get anywhere, there needs to be a financial incentive for them to do things right.

Yup.

Let them fight.

It’s a propaganda mission. The port is under blockade so the ship will be boarded. This is something that’s legal under international law everyone knows this and everyone knows it will be boarded. The point isn’t to bring aid to Gaza, the point is to create a video of Israel boarding the ship.

The ghouls that monetize the suffering Hamas has created want you to watch and are hoping someone dies so they can monetize it, just as they’ve monetized every aspect of the suffering of Palestinians. Since they’ve successfully monetized human suffering they seek to extend the war as long as possible to maximize profits.

I don’t think dump trucks filled with raw ore dump out materials into Lockeed Martin’s parking lot and then they have some magical device that converts it into an F-35. I think it’s more likely they purchase very specialized bits of metal that is produced at or above a specific grade. Producing materials to very specific requirements isn’t cheap, and requires specialized tooling and training to do.

Yes you can refit mills and train people in the US to produce those bits of metal but that takes time and money to do. There’s likely even security clearances people have to complete to see the specs on some of the materials.

And the significant investment needed to retool and retrain isn’t happening because the investment crowd is in the TACO mindset.
