Legally sourced Gold exported by Sudan banned in the EU. ❌ Sudanese Gold smuggled by the RSF to Kenya and the UAE legal. ✅ Just a wonder how all these measures that are ostensibly done in aid of the Sudanese people end up helping the UAE.

Hitler was a deranged genocidal maniac also indulged by the western powers and who couldn't believe how much was he allowed to get away with and just kept going and going, spiralling into madness.

If you only follow Western media you would likely have no idea this is happening. They tend to ignore the fact that Israel is destroying southern Lebanon piece by piece.
Israeli airstrikes happening now across the south of Lebanon. Remember that this is happening all day, every day.

Oh I missed this. Passing the buck to your subordinates in(who you chose), in the event that you've fucked up and will be subject to some type of accountability in the future. That's not leadership.
🚨 BREAKING: Andy Burnham has authorised the UK military to support Saudi Arabia against the Houthis "On the advice of the Defence Secretary and the Foreign Secretary, I agreed to that request for defensive air-to-air refuelling"

A lesser show would just have stupid/lazy bureaucrats. But The Wire gives you these flashes that remind you that the higher-ups are actually quite competent, they just spend their time on accumulating power instead of doing anything useful. That's a much sharper critique.
Do y'all agree that the hospital confrontation in S1E11 is the ultimate turning point for how we view Rawls? 🙂 Every rewatch just hammers home how incredible the dialogue is during this interaction. McNulty is completely paralyzed by trauma, vomiting into a trash can after listening to the audio tape of the wiretap ambush. Given their bitter history, you expect Rawls to use Kima's critical condition to completely bury Jimmy's career. Instead, he drops an inspired speech that stands as one of the most human moments in the series. He tells Jimmy straight up: "Shit went bad, she took two for the company". By telling McNulty that everything doesn't revolve around him, Rawls uses tough love to snap his detective out of a dark, narcissistic guilt trip. It beautifully builds on the competency he showed earlier at the tracks when he moved the milk crates and cleared out the extra bodies to protect the forensic evidence. The show refuses to let its villains be entirely evil, showing that while Rawls will comfortably exile McNulty to a freezing patrol boat a few episodes later, he possesses the fundamental integrity of a true homicide commander when a officer's life is on the line💯 #TheWire #Mcnulty #Rawls #KimaGreggs

I would expect this major story to be on all broadcast news channels today and on the front pages of tomorrow's newspapers.
🚨NEW🚨: Ten unions call for Andy Burnham to end Britain’s military support for Saudi Arabia, due to the war crimes it has committed in Yemen. The unions also argue that, contrary to government claims, “Escalating this war will make our bills more expensive”.

Wow this isn't Tel Aviv?
A woman wearing an “Israel Kills Children” shirt stood outside of our kosher bakery here in Pico-Robertson today. Jewish teens came to the rescue, singing “Am Yisrael Chai” and waving Israeli flags behind her. Antisemitism is not welcome in the heart of Jewish Los Angeles.

This is what happens when you let him get away with genocide. He’s now comfortable making threats to blow up the UN in a fucking UN speech
Netanyahu tells the UN General Assembly that one ballistic missile would take out the whole building. "It would obliterate the entire compound!" "Two such missiles would obliterate the UN!"
