    Weak as shit statement not worth the memory its stored on.

    First they came for the Venezuelans and we didnt speak out because we were not Venezuelans.

    In fact we legitimized it with the same weak language:

    “complex situation” as if there was not a 1:1 precedent in history.

    “Maduro stole the election” [citation needed] using the same language Trump uses. Both from Merz.

    We bent over and even cheered on for the same actions that we now fear are coming for us and only now that its impacting us we slop out the weakest possible statement showing discourage. Pathetic.



  • Jaein, einige Raffinerien sind auf schwereres Öl ausgelegt und in letzter Zeit kommt u.a. durch Fracking eher leichteres Öl an als das was es damals gab als diese Anlagen gebaut wurden.

    Das Öl enthält immer noch schwerere Anteile aber halt deutlich weniger, die Anlagenteile die das schwere Zeug verarbeiten brauchen aber eine gewisse Grundlast um gewinnbringend zu funktionieren und ständig ein und ausschalten ist auch keine Option.

    Daher könnte man bei einem derzeitigen Ölpreis durch verschneiden mit schwererem Öl schon ein bisschen Geld einsparen, ist nicht viel, aber in einer Industrie die in Billionen (10**12) Litern rechnet ist das auch schon erheblich.



  • TBH the nobel peace committee awarding their prize to one party in an already tensioned environment was like pouring oil in fire.

    They might not have started the war with it, but significantly contributed to normalizing actions that left 40 civilians dead, the violation of UN charta by abducting a foreign leader and now threats to Greenland, Cuba, Columbia etc. they literally sparked a global crisis.

    Usually they need like 5-50 years to award someone their stupid prize, but this time it was only weeks after Trump started talking about Venezuela.

    If we had any spine left we would sanction the shit out of this disgrace of a committee. Honestly they need prison time and all their funds for 100 years taken from them and invested into stabilizing everything again. Maybe then in 2125 they are more careful not to award war criminals.

    This is the spectrum of dialects you hear when you walk 10km across every european country lol

    I am a non native english speaker but could understand every accent you posted easily, meanwhile most native germans dont understand Platt-german, deep-Bavarian or Swiss-german like at all. You pick up a word or four per sentence but thats about it.






  • As I initially checked the Wikipedia article for Uyghur Genocide it took me about 1 minute to find that the article had his name spread all over it and the sources it cited. He works for the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation, which is funded by the USA.

    Every source you check eventually circles back to him. There is also not really any video or photo evidence, compare this to the terabytes of videos of the gaza genocide. There is like 1 or 2 picture that shows a prison and curled up inmates, this doesnt look good but still better than Guantanamo or the El Salvadorian prisons.

    China accuses the USA of funding terrorists in that region, which also lacks good sources but given the USA track record of funding separatists for regime change for example in 1953 Iran “coup d’état” and the USA listing China as their enemy number 1 e.g. in their newest national security strategy paper, it doesnt seem too far fetched.

    Yes this doesnt mean there cant be possibly any wrong-doing on the Chinese side but the evidence for that is scarce at best and manufactured at worst.

    The one China policy is also a direct result from China winning WW2 against Japan, Japan used to colonize Taiwan and genocided the Chinese. Imagine questioning other results from WW2 like Polands indepence.

    Also the british used to occupy Tibet and looking at other british occupations like Palestine or Sudan (with Egypt) it gets pretty clear that they left nothing but chaos. So given all this history it, to me, seems justified that China wants to keep their country together and looking at satellite pictures from Xinjiang we dont see rivers of blood like in Sudan or thousands of pictures of child amputees like in Palestine.

    Its really convenient how in the West every separatist movement like Catalonia in Spain or the Reichsbürger in Germany is immediately not valid, why all separatist movements of the Wests “adversaries” are immediately legit.
