I mean all fair. I was in brasil 4-5 years ago where I wasn't even suggested to walk in the streets. But then I attribute most of the issues South America is having to the northern neighbour. Anything that I've read about how U.S. acts towards anything positive in Center/South America feels incredibly wrong.

Let's start with the spending, apparently "The 32 members of the world’s most powerful military alliance will spend $1.47 trillion this year.". There is a saying in Turkish, "Too many words cannot be without lies, too much money cannot be without cheating". Let's see how much I can dig.

Don't get me wrong, I totally agree with you on most of what you say. I'm from Turkey, so I also know my fair share of how horrible censorship and dictatorship during 60's till 2000's.
I totally agree that freedom of speech is human right and needs to be preserved at all costs.
The only point we disagree is whether a U.S. based entity can provide free speech or not.

IMO it's totally OK to ban "social media" where a foreign entity can dictate what is being popularised and what is being suppressed. I'm not even sure how did we all accept that it's ok that an unknown "algorithm" that is managed by a small group of people can decide what's going on in the world.

I believe Ukraine is switching to a "scorched earth" policy, and the "earth" here is going to be the planet we live on if they don't lose this stupid war fast enough. Hitting power plants near Moscow is literally calling for Russia to respond with nuclear arsenal, which will pull the entire world into a self-destruct spiral. This is beyond stupid.

The more I read and watch about Nato and EU, I feel like the best way of forward is just abolishing both of them. At EU, unelected people overriding local laws from top down weird decisions. At Nato, unelected people driving nations into war.
Going back and re-reading whatever I've read from media related to Russia - Nato - EU, I notice that most of the things said about Russia was just projection of whatever EU and Nato doing behind curtains.

One more I found,
“We stand with Ukraine as long as they need us”, Baerbock emphasized, adding, “If I give the promise to people in Ukraine, ‘We stand with you as long as you need us’, then I want to deliver, no matter what my German voters think, but I want to deliver to the people of Ukraine”.
Loss of words here. The same woman who accuses Xi and Puton as being a dictator, acts the most dictatorial way imaginable.
What kind of superiority complex you need to say something as stupid as "I don't care what people voted me to this position think".
Absolute insanity.

At some point she publicly claims having watched non-existent "rape videos" of Palestinians during October 7 attack.
But then,
She and UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron wrote a joint article published in The Sunday Times on 17 December 2023 calling for actions which would "pav[e] the way to a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza".
You crazy mf. Was it all this? You didn't wanted ANY ceasefire, you wanted "your ceasefire".

2024-08-30 01:03:09 UTC

Baerbock expressed support for Israel and its right to self-defense during the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. On 23 October 2023, she blocked a declaration by EU ministers calling for "an immediate humanitarian cease-fire" to help civilians in the Gaza Strip.
Read carefully, SHE FUCKING BLOCKS HUMANITARIAN CEASE-FIRE.
At least 10,000 children dead more wounded since her amazing policy here.
But she was really sorry about the children in Afghanistan.
Somehow this makes sense in her mind, which I will never understand.

2024-08-30 01:00:33 UTC

Baerbock opposed the decision of the Biden administration to supply cluster munitions to Ukraine.
Back to sanity for a split second.
In September 2023, Baerbock accused Azerbaijan of breaking its promise not to resort to military action in Armenian-held Nagorno-Karabakh and called on it to halt the offensive and return to negotiations.
Again shining star of geopolitics.

In May 2023, she visited Saudi Arabia and praised Saudi efforts to find a solution to the wars in Yemen and Sudan.

In May 2023, she urged China to take a clear stance on the Russo-Ukrainian War, saying "neutrality means taking the side of the aggressor."
In September 2023, she named the Chinese President Xi Jinping "a dictator" next to Vladimir Putin, but that also followed the U.S. president referring to the Chinese President a dictator on June.
She is a golden mix of ignorance and superiority complex.

"In March 2023, on a visit to Baghdad, Baerbock called on Iran to cease its missile attacks on Iraqi territory."

In July 2022, she rejected Turkey's territorial claims to Greek islands in the Aegean Sea, stating that "Lesbos, Chios, Rhodes and many others are Greek territories and nobody has the right to question them."
She somehow reaches to Turkey 🇹🇷 and decides that the islands I marked on the map are Greek 🇬🇷 islands and this is unquestionable.
Fair. https://image.nostr.build/e4bf9e02f6cbf4e21af318b99c874b29e97e79757206c99f54830b2c6267648d.jpg

April 2022, she hosted a donor conference during which European and international governments agreed to extend 659.5 million euros ($718.6 million) in aid to Moldova, which hosted more than 100,000 refugees from Ukraine at the time.

For a short time period she really becomes the voice of reason in the entire mess created by US and UK.

In January 2022, Baerbock refused to supply German weapons to Ukraine amid rising tensions on the Ukraine-Russia border, while the NATO allies including the United States opted to send arms in support of Ukraine.
Suddenly she wakes up and understands the neo-con ideology maybe not so good?

She said, "We cannot allow hundreds of thousands of children to die because we don't want to take action." She also promised to speed up the evacuation of more than 15,000 vulnerable Afghans, including staff who worked for Germany and their family members.
So suddenly she becomes pro-immigration, due to, drumroll please, "children" ofc.
The refugess from Belarus had no children ofc, they were not the right kind of refugess.

On 23 December 2021, Baerbock warned that Afghanistan is "heading into the worst humanitarian catastrophe of our time", with major economic sectors collapsing and more than 24 million people in need of humanitarian assistance.
Which didn't happen and since neo-con bombings of Afghanistan 🇦🇫 stopped, we did see the end of one of the worst humanitarian catastrophe of our time.

During this time, it was discovered that Baerbock committed plagiarism in a book she authored having copy-pasted 29 sentences altogether from other works.
Another wrongdoing unearthed was that she published false information about her professional background in her CV. She incorrectly claimed that she was a member of German Marshall Fund and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees along with many other minor institutions, which she had no formal ties to.
So she represents extremely high morals with amazing lying capabilities. Keep the amazing lying capacity in mind, it will become relevant many times again.

She lost the constituency to Scholz by over 15,000 votes, but was nonetheless elected to the Bundestag through the Green list in Brandenburg. She was essentially one step away from replacing Olaf Scholz, which means Germany 🇩🇪 had no good options at that point.
