Foreign Affairs / Re: Trump Reacts To Rapper ASAP Rocky’s Release From Jail . by TheAviator: 9:09am On Dec 18, 2020 |
Terryishere: Trump didn't bring about the evil called fake news. The fake news purveyors themselves such as CNN brought it to existence, and it blossomed since there is a ravenous audience such as you who feed on it. Trump did a great job as President, and his achievements are there to see except for his blind haters. Of course, you were right that there is a big disdain for Trump. But the issue is, who are those from whom the disdain comes? The disdain is from the demon-crats, the anal bleepers (gays and the likes), the Islamic terrorists, the Blacks who are battling inferiority complex and are waiting for a White guy in the White House to validate their existence, illegal immigrants who have entitlement mentality and feel that Trump and American owe them something, etc. One of the problems with you Trump haters is that you don't understand the love for Trump by his lovers. You don't understand why. The reason is beyond human comprehension. You guys keep on deceiving yourselves by referencing the fact that he was a demon-crat or that he isn't a committed Christian who goes to church. But nobody is looking for a Pastor, okay. You just can't get it. You guys talk about the 'damage' Trump has done to the Republic of party. "Damage" you say? Well, that's the way it may look to the three blind mice. Trump has done no damage to the Republican party. Trump is the first Republican candidate that the demon-crats fear can take the White working class voters in the Rust Belt states away from them. Under Trump, a demon-cratic candidate no longer has a hold over union members. You know all these facts but your hatred for Trump will not make you accept them. |

Terryishere: I don't need Trump's words to know that results from Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc, were fraudulent. In fact, I blame Trump seriously for being lackadaisical and letting himself to be cheated in an election he won big with 75,000,000 legal votes, the highest for a sitting President. Some RINOs are not the whole Republican party. You little simps of the demon-crats who are suffering from Trump derangement syndrome should stop feeding on fake news. Which Republican party said that the election was legit. To the few weak folks who are the followers of the most demented and retarded candidate in history, Joe Hiden (still hiden in his basement), RINOs are the Republican party. That's complete baloney. |

Terryishere: No sir, the disgrace and embarrassment to the US is the largest electoral fraud in human history perpetrated to give Joe Biden all the illegal votes he got. This election has stripped the US naked and exposed the fraudulent tendencies of Americans when it comes to elections. It's an embarrassment of historical proportion. |

themonk: You still haven't answered my questions also. Who celebrates the most fraudulent election in human history? You yourself know in your heart that the election was fraught with unmitigated fraud. Your question doesn't exist. Trump didn't lose. So, your question is invalid. Mr clown, you feel you can disturb, right. Bring it on, I am ready for you. You will get your reply. Please, I beg you, don't do any other thing. Keep on coming back to me so I can keep feeding you with the replies you need. I can keep you busy, okay? Some politicians will appreciate it if you can teach them how to perpetrate electoral fraud that can bring over 700,000 votes after election day. You will be well valued if you did that. If I were you, I would be ashamed that the candidate I supported was declared the winner based on fraud. It shows that they have no way of winning without fraud. What a shame. |

themonk: You are the one making so much noise after being brainwashed. Who celebrates the biggest and blatant electoral fraud in human history, if not a brainwashed Trump hater? RINOS such as Romney don't know that by supporting this kind of demonic fraud perpetrated by Democrats and other Trump haters, no Republicans will ever be President again. All Democrats just need to keep doing is to start bringing lots of magic ballots in the name of mail-in ballots days after election to make their candidate "win' the presidential election, just as they did in this election. And then brainwashed demon-crats will start celebrating farce victory brought about by fraud. |
Foreign Affairs / The EU Can Now Punish Human Rights Violators All Over The World by TheAviator: 6:36pm On Dec 10, 2020 |
This week, the EU got a powerful new tool — one that could give a boost to Biden. The European Union has a new way to punish human rights abusers around the world. This week, the EU signed off on a law that will give the bloc the power to ban travel and freeze assets of individuals and entities involved or associated with violating human rights, including genocide, slavery, extrajudicial arrests and killings, gender-based violence, human trafficking, and other abuses that are “widespread, systematic or are otherwise of serious concern.” The EU’s adoption of this law is a big deal, both symbolically and practically. One of the European Union’s foundational principles is a commitment to human rights, democracy, and rule of law. But it has sometimes fallen short. This new tool will put some heft behind those commitments. All 27 EU member states agreed — including some of the democratic-backsliding countries in the bloc like Hungary, which previously held up attempts to pass this kind of EU-wide law. Practically, this gives the EU a lot more flexibility in whom and what it can target for rights violations. Previously, the EU was mostly limited to applying sanctions in country-specific situations, like a conflict, as in Syria, or for certain issues like terrorism or cyberattacks. Since this law applies to all EU member states, it cuts violators off from a lot of travel — including nice vacation destinations on, say, the French Riviera — and from accessing and locating assets. Juliet Sorensen, professor of law with Northwestern Pritzker School of Law’s Center for International Human Rights, told me this “is quite significant because it goes to financial flows, which, of course, the EU is in general a key part of.” The EU’s new global sanctions regime borrows from the US’s Global Magnitsky Act, which gives the US the power to impose sanctions on any officials responsible for or connected to human rights violations or corruption around the world. Other countries, like the United Kingdom and Canada, have also passed versions of the law. The EU’s sanctions regime has some flaws — for example, it doesn’t include corruption, and it requires all member states to agree on any sanctions, which may dilute its effectiveness as politics and national interests come into play. But still, the bloc’s decision to officially join the club could be a powerful tool for the Western allies to coordinate action against human rights violators. The Trump administration has often used its power under the Magnitsky Act to sanction human rights offenders, but now the US can better coordinate with its partners in the EU on any actions. That’s especially good news for the incoming Biden-Harris administration, which is eager to restore and build out America’s partnerships with Western allies. “It shows that there is additional global firepower in the EU toolbox,” Julia Friedlander, senior fellow for transatlantic economic relations at the Atlantic Council, told me. “It’s important going into a new US administration, because the EU will be able to show we are global actors, that we’re taking on some of this additional responsibility.” Why these Magnitsky-style laws matter In 2012, President Barack Obama signed the Magnitsky Act, named for Russian attorney Sergei Magnitsky. Magnitsky worked for Hermitage Capital, an investment fund founded by American-born financier Bill Browder, which was once was a major foreign investor in Russia. Magnitsky had reportedly uncovered a massive fraud and corruption scheme by the Russian government. He was jailed in Russia and died in custody in 2009; independent investigators found he was beaten and denied medical treatment. In response, Browder lobbied US lawmakers, bringing attention to Magnitsky’s treatment and urging them to punish Russia and the officials involved. Congress overwhelmingly passed the legislation, which targeted any Russian human rights violators, including those involved in Magnitsky’s detention and death. (Russia, of course, despised this, and retaliated by banning US citizens from adopting Russian children — which was the subject discussed at the infamous Trump Tower meeting in June 2016.) In 2016, the US built on the legislation and took the Magnitsky Act global, giving America the power to sanction individuals and entities linked to human rights abuses or large-scale corruption worldwide. The US has used global Magnitsky sanctions to punish Chinese officials responsible for the repression of the Uighurs in Xinjiang province, and to punish Saudi officials linked to the extrajudicial killing of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. Just this Wednesday, the US imposed Magnitsky sanctions on three people and three entities, including a Kyrgyz official for corruption and money laundering and a Chinese man with ties to organized crime known as “Broken Tooth.” Other countries have also adopted some version of the Magnitsky Act, including Canada, the United Kingdom, and Kosovo. The Australian government is soon likely to adopt a similar scheme, a move that adds another point of tension in the feud between Australia and China, as Beijing expects it will lead to more sanctions on those responsible for crackdowns in Hong Kong or Xinjiang. And now, the 27 member states of the European Union have joined on. Though not officially named for Magnitsky — the Dutch apparently didn’t want any country to feel targeted — the law will accomplish much the same thing. As Sorensen, the Northwestern law professor, put it, these laws will make it much harder for human rights abusers to profit off their positions of power, and to stash their money in places with reliable banking systems like the EU or US. “It is this idea of isolating these public officials, both financially and quite literally.” Quite literally, because Europe will also now be off limits for travel under the legislation. “No more trips to Cannes, Paris and Milan for human rights violators now that the EU has a Magnitsky Act in place,” Browder, the champion of these laws, wrote on Twitter. “Lots of dictators will be sitting nervously wondering if their days of enjoying European luxury are over.” https://www.vox.com/2020/12/10/22165389/european-union-magnitsky-human-rights-sanctions |

No wonder you described one of the most respected gentleman officer as a man who put fear in "Nigerian houses". If his colleagues in the military saw what you wrote, they would weep for you. |

madjune: Bali didn't participate much in the WAI campaigns (openly). Bali didn't do anything during the AFRC proceedings and press conferences of the 80s that put fear in Nigerian homes. The only notable press conferences Bali did during his stint as Chairman, Joint Chiefs, were the announcements that followed the "Vatsa coup". Bali was a quiet and gentle but influential officer, not one that put fear in homes of Nigerians. |

Foreign Affairs / Trump Says He Will Physically Leave White House If Biden Wins Electoral College by TheAviator: 4:21am On Nov 27, 2020 |
TOPLINE President Donald Trump has so far refused to concede the election, but on Thursday he said he would physically leave the White House if the electoral college officially votes for Biden, the closest Trump has come to admitting he lost. KEY FACTS When asked by a reporter if he would leave the building if the electoral college elected Biden, Trump said: “Certainly I will.” Still, Trump maintained that he actually won because of widespread voter fraud, adding that, “I think there will be a lot of things happening between now and the 20th of January, a lot of things, massive fraud has been found.” Though the Republican Party has stood by Trump, a growing number of Republican lawmakers have slowly started to acknowledge Biden’s victory. KEY BACKGROUND Trump has continued to insist, without evidence, that Biden actually lost and the election was tainted by widespread voter fraud. The Trump campaign and the GOP have lost nearly every lawsuit so far challenging the vote in contested states, while a former member of Trump’s legal team, Sidney Powell, was ousted from the campaign last week after she pushed an outlandish conspiracy theory implying former Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who died in 2013, rigged voting machines. https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandler/2020/11/26/trump-says-he-will-physically-leave-white-house-if-biden-wins-electoral-college/?utm_campaign=forbes&utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_term=Gordie

thorpido:No, I read what you wrote. Not wanting to take to correction is the bigger issue here. The only thing that could make me agree with what you wrote is if you were just talking in the hypothetical. If you say that it was just a hypothetical "swallow" then, that would be on point. But you didn't say so. |

You just don't want to accept your mistake. I hope you know that making a mistake isn't bad. We all make mistakes, including me. What is actually bad is refusal to accept correction. |

thorpido:Learn man, you will not die. I am very sure you understood the correction I was talking about. The "swallow" you were talking about was not the crushing, eating, and swallowing what was bitten and chewed. You were talking about just swallowing of a full grown human, and that's what I was telling you doesn't happen. 1 Like |
