You said Biden has admitted to blowing up NordStream.
As evidence you cite a video from over a year ago.
How can a video from over a year ago amount to somebody admitting responsiblity for something that happened less than six months ago?
Lying like this is not a good look for you.
I donât know @Cheasty , if a world leader says they will do something in advance of an invasion happening, and when it happens, I donât think its a massive stretch to wonder if they actually did do it when it does happen.
But Biden never said he would blow up NordStream 2. He said Nordstream 2 would not deliver gas to Germany if Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. Germany was in agreement with this. Youâre lying again.
Why would you blow up a pipeline that is delivering zero gas?
Russia shut down Nordstream 1 itself as a âpunishmentâ to Europe. Then, most likely, it blew it and Nordstream 2 up itself. Russiaâs regular moves to periodically shut and then completely shut the pipeline over the summer are strong circumstantial evidence of a wish to blow it up.
All youse lot have is a screed of baloney from Seymour Hersh, who anybody with a functioning brain cell knows is a corrupt, desperate and lying propagandist for Russia.
Would you have much in the way of evidenceâŚor is it another one of these everyone knows scenarios?
I think if you listen carefully youâll hear Biden admit he was on the grassy knoll too
Yes. His entire output for years, which is nakedly pro-Russia and pro-Assad, including his screed of fantasy about Nordstream, his denial that Assad gassed his own people, and his denial that Russia was involved in the Skripal poisoning. Heâs also a denier that Osama Bin Laden was involved in September 11th.
He is as much a journalist as Gemma OâDoherty is.
Now, what is the evidence that anybody other than Russia was responsible for blowing up Nordstream? Russiaâs entire body of âevidenceâ brought to the UN Security Council that the US was supposedly responsible, was the same video @The_Most_Infamous posted up and Hershâs screed of bullshit.
Youse are the ones making the allegations. Itâs up to youse to provide evidence. Youse have no evidence.
Your entire worldview is made up of âeverybody knowsâ, âthe dogs on the street knowâ, etc. etc.
Evidence, not so much.
And that he was driving the white Fiat the night Diana died.
Nothing. Thats what i thought
I literally gave you evidence.
You, as ever, have provided none for any of your deranged beliefs.
Sure how can i provide evidence that hersh is your russian propagandist du jour.
Is that Ger Gilroy interviewing Joe Elliott of Def Leppard?
Stewartâs new podcast is pretty good - this week it was just him and Ian Hislop shooting the shit about the various states of cuntery currently in play.
edit: I think itâs a tv show as well on Apple+ or whatever they call their service
Interview with Irish MEP stating âTaiwan is part of Chinaâ shared by Chinese government accounts
Ireland South MEP Mick Wallace capped a nine-day trip to China with political ally Clare Daly by revealing a new tattoo on state television.
It came during the latest of a series of interviews in which the two affirmed Chinese government talking points during a crucial week for diplomacy between Brussels and Beijing.
âItâs actually my first tattoo, and I got it in Xiâan,â Mr Wallace told Chinaâs official state news agency during an interview that was approvingly shared on social media by Chinaâs ambassador to the EU and its foreign ministryâs European affairs chief.
The former Wexford TD showed the camera the black lettering across his wrist, which said âno warâ in Chinese.
On Chinese microblogging site Weibo, some commenters questioned Mr Wallaceâs choice of typeface for the tattoo and whether he picked it himself, with one comparing it to Times New Roman or the kind of font that would be used in an official document.
But senior Chinese diplomats Fu Cong and Wang Lutong praised the MEP on Twitter, adding that China is a âpeace-loving countryâ and ânever starts warâ â core messages of the Chinese state in a week in which it conducted military drills off Taiwan, practising a blockade of the island and precision strikes.
It came after Taiwanâs democratically-elected president Tsai Ing-wen visited the US and urged lawmakers to continue to support the island given its democracy was âunder threatâ.
Taiwan, which has a minority population of diverse indigenous tribes, began to be settled by people from the Chinese mainland centuries ago and was declared a province of the Qing dynasty in 1885. It was subsequently seized by Japan, before becoming the base to which the national Republic of China government retreated when it was driven out by the Communist forces of Mao Zedong after he took power in Beijing in 1949.
Controversy
The Chinese Communist Party considers Taiwan to be a breakaway province of China, while the government of Taiwan maintains that the âauthorities in Beijing have never exercised sovereignty over Taiwanâ.
The issue of how supportive the EU and its member states should be of the self-governing island was centre stage throughout Mr Wallace and Ms Dalyâs visit, which coincided with trips to China by a succession of top European political figures including French president Emmanuel Macron and German foreign minister Annalena Baerbock.
A controversy blew up when Mr Macron told journalists on the plane home that the EU should not be a âvassalâ and should avoid getting caught up in any conflict between the US and China. The comments were criticised as sending the message to Beijing that there would be no consequences from Europe if it chose to invade Taiwan.
For his part, Mr Wallace said during a television interview shared by Chinese official government accounts that âTaiwan is part of China. It is just off the mainland of China.
âWe would like Europe and the Americans to stay out of Chinaâs business, antagonising about Taiwan, with visits here and there,â he said.
Ms Daly said during an interview with the Chinese state broadcaster that Europe had âshot itself in both of its feetâ by placing sanctions on Russia in response to its invasion of Ukraine and that âthe European economy would completely collapseâ if it were to do the same to China.
Both MEPs took the opportunity while on their trip to disparage Western journalists.
âUS money funds a lot of the media in Europe. They say thatâs because we want to fund independent media. But then itâs not independent, you know?â she told a reporter from state-run CTGN. âThe people who give the message to the public are getting money in many instances from the National Endowment for Democracy (NED).â
Provoked ire
The NED is an organisation funded by the US budget to promote democracy overseas that has been banned in Russia and has provoked the ire of Chinaâs foreign ministry, which accuses it of fomenting âanti-Chinaâ programmes in Hong Kong, Xinjiang and Tibet.Mr Wallace has previously questioned if Irish Times journalists are âtaking the money from the National Endowment for Democracyâ. A spokeswoman for the NED said in an email that the organisation âdoes not work in Irelandâ.
In a series of tweets during the trip, Mr Wallace said the BBC should be labelled as âstate funded mediaâ and posted a photo of an everyday scene in a park in the city of Chengdu, or âwhat some Western Media would describe as the âOppressed Massesâ,â a quip that was widely shared on Weibo.
Holy fuck. I suppose if heâs calculating he wont be re-elected he needs to coin it in now. Id say that was a lucrative enough trip.
Still though, heâs like a pisshead doing shit lads tell him to for a drinkâŚ
âWe want you to get a tattooâŚâ
Mick has made a fair mug out of lot of people, in and outside Wexford
A nothing story.
It doesnât even say if he was there in an official capacity.
