But this will piss of western countries. I don't want to travel to a country, where criticism of Russia can lead to deportation.

At the same time: the old men visiting Thailand for their sex workers are mostly pro-Putin, due to their similarity of interpretation of 'traditional family values' and the general value of dominating others by force and money, so at least their sex tourism sector won't take a deep hit – if thats what Thai people want.

UNRWA isn't some kind of company you can punish – its the lifeline for millions.

UNRWA has to investigate how something like this could happen and prevent it from happening ever again – especially since Israel has claimed it for years now and was proven correctly now.

But the immediate reaction of UNRWA has shown that it was not the intention to aid terrorists, but a lack of proper oversight and control. So support needs to continue, alongside a reform of the processes of the UNRWA.

Its not like you haven't been warned. But you still voted for him.

I will 100 % judge US Americans if Trump gets reelected. If half of your country votes for them, the people are responsible.

Let's hope they can succeed. But prior experiences with NPPs leave me sceptical. So far no country succeeded with such plans. Even China is lacking far behind their plans – and they don't have to account for any concerns of the population (justified or not).

But that's exactly the argument international law makes. If the opponent uses civilians and civilian structure as a weapon, they are legit targets.

Because they don't need to.

Data from china is shady anyways. For example right before publishing their 2023 economic data, they silently reduced their 2022 figures – officially because they changed how they where calculated – making a 1.5 % growth to a 5.2 %, hitting their 5 % growth target.

In economics Chinese figures where debated for years now and no one really trusts them anymore.

Its not 'his people'. Its his servants.

One side is saying 'we will attack you if you vote for person A', the other is saying 'please let them vote for whoever they want to' – but both sides are the same, huh?
