As an American, I feel like this is somewhat familiar, and would have negative consequences.
Fucking poetic
Dude you could not teach a kindergartener, you are clueless.
It’s not sides, it’s outcomes.
Is Syria better off after the civil war? It’s still going to split between the same dictator, some islamic militias while many many people died and many more had fled. At least ISIL died off eventually.
I have no issue calling Assad or Putin evil. I just don’t have any delusions about who their opposition was and whether they were evil or not. If they won Syria would have been worse off today. There would probably even be a conflict with Israel, the US would promptly drop them, where Syria would get even more fucked.
But it is for your that this is a game. There are clearly good guys and evil guys and any effort to slightly undermine the evil guys is worth the cost (which is not borne by your or any of the good guys). Ukraine did not make this attack to improve the situation for any Syrian. You know that, you cheer them because they are on your team.
I also want to know how do you think the world should work. After all Syria is not the only dictatorship in the world. Should random countries attack Saudi Arabia? China? Israel? Pakistan? Eritrea? Sudan?
Don’t be obtuse the similarities between the the Syrian Arab spring and the maidan uprising are quite obvious if you actually know what either are.
Ukraine was not a dictatorship unlike Syria. Maidan succeeded and Russia attacked both openly in Crime and with ‘rebels’ in the East. Western support was limited till the next invasion by Russia.
Syria was a dictatorship. After the Arab spring the US started arming islamic militias and attacking Syrian forces. A couple of years later and we had fucking ISIL devastating a big part of Syria and that is when the immigration crisis from Syria peaked, not at the start of the civil war. The US kept supplying the ‘moderate’ islamic groups even though it was known that a lot of their equipment ended up on ISIL.
Do you really believe that any of the foreign interventions in Syria has benefited the Syrians? Do you believe it was meant to?
As opposed to ISIL and ‘moderate’ islamic militias? Or Turkey that occupies areas in the north?
Do you think life would be better for Syrians under them? After all the country was under the same regime for decades but the crisis started after the war.
You don’t care about Syrians, you most likely do not actually give a shit about Ukrainians either.
What exactly was Syria’s role in maidan?
Ukraine is also not the fist country that got invaded so I don’t think it’s somehow the ‘last country you should try that argument with’.
There’s the small issue that Syria is still actually a sovereign country. Though of course most westerners don’t really give a shit about countries in the middle east.
Coffee itself is addictive though.
What incident? Israel is not going to pull any shenanigans on France.
De facto truth is that French air force conducted air drops of supplies in uncontestedly Israeli airspace above Gaza.
Israel is not going to attack French military aircraft, it will be political suicide.
I also do not understand your fixation on commercial overflight which is irrelevant here.
That’s like your opinion dude. In actual law national airspace (the only airspace a nation can actually own) extents over territory (whether land or territorial waters).
So in reality recognizing airspace over Gaza as being Israel’s recognizes Gaza as Israeli territory.
The genocide of Palestinians by Israel has been going on way longer than Hamas has existed.
I am no armchair legal scholar, I 've already argued against placing too much value on legality. It is you on the other hand who tries to minimize the severity of Israel’s wrongdoings by arguing pseudo-legalistic semantics.
If the 1948 convention never existed, Israel’s actions would be just as reprehensible.
Definition Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide
Article II
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
in whole or in part. Not that you care, just for anybody wondering what the Geneva convention says. Though people should not base their morality on law, even UN law.
You do not need to proclaim any zone to prepare for an enemy attack. The only need use of claiming an ADIZ is to propagandize that you are being ‘violated’ by perfectly legal behavior.
FIR is an ICAO concept relating to civil aviation. Military operations do not have to follow ICAO rules and FIR procedures, never mind request permission to enter a FIR zone in international airspace.
Even in regards to civilian aviation FIR airspace is not subject to the whims of the nation administering it (unless the airspace is also in their territorial airspace). Airlines can be banned for territorial airspaces not FIRs.
So no Incheon FIR is not internationally recognized as South Korea airspace.
Nor was the KADIZ set up to support Inceon FIR it was setup during the Korean war by USAF.
Having said that pretending to have an ADIZ is not illegal in itself as long as you do not take illegal actions in support of it. You can track planes via radar,ask them to identify themselves (they can ignore you) and even fly up to them in international airspace.
Though shooting even warning shots as they claimed they did in 2019 would be an illegal act of agression.
There is no such thing as Air Defence (Idetification) Zones in international law. Countries claiming to have one are trying to appropriate international airspace arbitrarily.
From a quick look at wikipedia S. Korea’s ADIZ seems to extend much much further than 12nmi from any land (incl. islands). It also obviously extends over N. Korea land which is obviously territory of N. Korea.
I’m not American, can someone explain why Biden does this when his “one job” for 2024 is to not look like a fash?
Is it though? Americans do not really care about foreigners getting killed. A lot are actually in favor of Israel killing people and/or Muslims being killed in general. It’s not a given he will lose more votes than he will gain from ‘moderate’ Republicans. After all Democrat voters will be whipped into line with the ‘but Trump/lesser evil’ argument. This’ sub’s mod has smeared himself up in shit and is going hard at it.
There was war in Europe in the 90s as well.
With the context of piracy in mind sites located beyond your own country’s authority are a better choice as they are less likely to cooperate.
Of course unless you take measures your isp will know you 've been accessing that site. Additionally even though the domain is normally under Russian control your country’s authority can actually order your ISP to have it’s DNS direct you elsewhere.
