Nobody is letting them rejoin until they have a referendum with a decisive margin of victory and that will take decades, particularly with Nigel Farage agitating for little britain.
Did you see Chomsky's list? All presidents eventually become war criminals, even if it is by complicit passivity, even that "saint" Jimmy Carter (because of allowing Indonesia to proceed with genocide in East Timor).
By that standard, even Chomsky as president would have been a war criminal if he had just made a deal to allow Ukraine to be invaded by russia with impunity.
You get nothing for your cause by letting trump win. Nothing. And you will lose on lots of fronts that affect you personally, including protest, which at least allows you to control the israelis a little bit.
All of what you say is part of rejoinining. I said that at best they would revert to soft brexit (which is not rejoining) Switzerland and Norway are not it the EU.
At best, it may be "soft brexit", where you become a Switzerland or Norway. At worse, you negotiate a few things to facilitate trade and circulation...
Guys, I'm not american, but at least today answering the press questions (no teleprompter) Biden was dishing out wisdom about economics and geopolitics and very thoughtful...he is just not very good with the whole "slick reality show clown president to distract the cattle while you rob them" part :/
I wrote that it is a smaller invasion, but sizeable enough to constitute an invasion and a war, I absolutely did not say that it is the same now as it was 8 years ago, don't strawman.
What are you saying again? That it is not a war if it is not large enough to be on the headlines you read every day? Because western media made a conscious effort to look the other way to avoid getting dragged into a conflict with russia for a country that had hardly an army to defend itself in 2014. If there were 30000 americans doing tours in Ukraine, you'd know. But there aren't even any foreign fighters of any kind inside russia, so that is no reason to think the USA is at war with russia, there is no analogy whatsoever with sending troops to Ukraine to back up the russian separatists. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-ukraine-russia-soldiers/some-12000-russian-soldiers-in-ukraine-supporting-rebels-u-s-commander-idUSKBN0LZ2FV20150303/
I really don't get your point unless you're trying to be a russian troll.
On August 15, Aleksandr Zakharchenko, Prime
Minister of the self-proclaimed DPR, stated that a
reinforcement that came from Russia played a
decisive role in the counter-offensive: "(There were)
150 units of combat armor, including about 30 tanks -
the rest were AIFVs (Armored Infantry Fighting
Vehicles) and APCs (Armored Personnel Carriers),
and also 1,200 personnel who had undergone training
during four months in the territory of the Russian
Federation." Zakharchenko emphasized, "They were
inserted here at the most critical moment."
The decisive role played by the reinforcements
arriving from Russian territory was confirmed in an
interview in the newspaper “Zavtra” by the former33
DPR Minister Igor Girkin (aka Strelkov). The shifting
of the front and in particular the deployment to
Mariupol were achieved, in his words, "largely by
vacationers, individual units of the militia which were
subordinate to them.” "Vacationers" in Girkin's
terminology are Russian military cadres who come to
the territory of Ukraine with weapons in their hands
but who are officially “on vacation.”
Vyacheslav Tetekin, a Russian State Duma deputy
and a member of the Committee for Defense,
estimated the number of "volunteers" who had taken
part and were continuing to take part in combat actions
in the Donbass to be 30,000 people. "Some fought a
week there, some fought for several months, but
according to the information of the authorities of the
Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics themselves,
approximately 30,000 volunteers have gone through
4 9
combat," he emphasized. This same deputy
submitted for State Duma review a draft law on
conferring upon "volunteers" the status of participants
50
in combat with all the relevant benefits.
But why do you need to go fetch Israel as the ultimate measure that you need to understand the egregiousness of what russia is doing to Ukraine...when what russia is doing to Ukraine is both the crimes of Israel and hamas combined:
the crime of Israel's brutality without regard for human life
and
the crime of hamas's terroristic persistent attempt to destroy their neighbour at the expense of its own people
That is fine, MPs surround themselves with influent unmarketable secretaries and advisors they need e.g. Dominic Cummings, but the elected officials need to be the face of the team. That is usually how ministers do not need to be experts in a subject, it is their deputies who do the actual technical work and usually never get elected, that is not their job, but sometimes they actually will.
...and they are only 1 year too late...
