Excellent news! GTFO! And dont come back!
Ireland is increasingly the center of the civilized western world.
That’s because they are still recovering from decades of horror. Give it a generation and they’ll catch up with the rest of the angry west.
Well, That's great.
I hope they will isolate themselve more and more,
Except the USA is ripe for aligning with them.
The UN needs to limit veto power. I think of the 5 countries with veto power, it should take 3 to block something.
If the permanent members of the security council didn't have veto powers they A: wouldn't have joined, and B: would go "you and what army?" if people voted to force them to do something.
It's just a way to keep a high level discussion going.
Not really, since anything they disagree with gets shot down. I agree that's what would happen without veto power, but it's effectively a worthless position to anyone trying to do right by the world.
Yeah it's not hugely effective
The Security Council shouldn't even have permanent members and certainly no minority veto powers.
These permanent members are in the top arms suppliers, playing a double game of pretending to work for world peace while gaining from wars.
Except the USA is ripe for aligning with them.
Yeah, this polarized world between Russia and USA is tiring.
We have no choice to make our propers decision, according to "our values", to make them stopping this.
At one moment, they cannot be (the US) in war with the entire world.
Even they abuse their autority on the dollars, etc, at a moment, that will not work anymore,
But, that sound a lot like an Utopia for now..
Russia is seeing to it that they eventually decline so much as to be a non-significant power. In terms of GDP and population they are between Mexico and Brazil and are only going to decline. Their war against Ukraine is going to be one of the most destructive things to ever happen to Russia.
Genocide Karens. Good riddance.
This trick gets rid of Israelis for you. Wish more countries follows Ireland, but who am I kidding, right.
How nice of them to cut themselves off
Good, Fascists, get out of civilized communities.
Germany will now have to use all its diplomatic clout to push to apply sanctions against Ireland within EU mechanisms, otherwise the next report of how it’s falling short of its historic obligations will look uglier than usual.
It exclusively hurts their own citizens that are living in Ireland or other people that needs a visa to go to spend money in Israel
policies like what israel, the united states, and russia engage in are not about helping anyone. they are about harming the "right" people.
And nothing of value was lost.
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
