Must be that they hope that it turns out well for them,
Initially sparked by frustration over record-high inflation, food prices, and currency depreciation
or sanctions work.
The EU commission can do the same. Some people agree since there are strong Russian connections. But canceling the ability to pay without a judical verdict is wrong. https://feddit.org/post/26079160
My fear is that this will come to anybody who is inconvenient to those in power.
there will be absolutely no local support
You sure? Iran itself was eager to work with the US when Obama lifted sanctions. It’s just business. People know and don’t take it personal. After Syria, people in Iran know that they won’t get democracy. And yet they are doing some revolting.
VPNs will be forbidden, age will be verified.
Coincidence that all are gaining traction?
Why is it the way it is?
But then, why? If people know the obstacle, why not focus on removing it?
The left doesn’t look to me as if they would try with the highest priority to develop a mutual understanding so that joining forces would be possible.
He/she just doesn’t realize it yet.

Obama lifted sanctions, Trump reenacted them and Biden only lifted them shortly before the end of his term. From Reuters:

Under which conditions? That they have submarines?
They need to focus on making every European nation a nuclear power.
The power of nuclear weapons comes from being used in a retaliation strike. For that a submarine is needed. Soon space weapons are needed to disable the counter-measures.
Just 10 bombs and 10 bombers is not enough.
Guillotine them all, take back what’s ours and start improving our standards of living, or saving the planet, or ending world hunger, or…
If the world had the discipline to implement the change the billionaires could have been taxed down to millionaires a long time ago.
They simply string words together according to statistical likelihood, without having any notion of what the words mean
What gives you the confidence that you don’t do the same?
The /s was needed for me. There are already more old people than the available doctors can handle. Instead of having nothing what’s wrong with an AI baseline?
Also, when I smile, people frown and yell back
Take your hand out of your trousers.
There must also be a minimum of monthly allowed funds for food and shelter. Those sanctions will come for regular citizens and at worst they will be imposed by an AI for comments on the internet, for anything the EU doesn’t like.
