Blinken is shaking his head. Gonna go down as another McNamara. All his work undone because US foriegn policy is guided by Weltpolitik as opposed to Realpolitik.

Major issue for the US is the Arab world reconciling with Iran. This situation undoes the past nearly 50 years of containment. Iran and it’s proxies are now effectively free to do as they please and Saudia Arabia will turn a blind eye.

Never forgive, never forget.

Jesus Zionist Twitter is fucking depressing man. 1 for 1 Nazi rhetoric, some of the most vile shit, and no consequences for them.

Feels bad man.

Isn’t this deflation?

Would lemmy.ml ever cut federation with lemmygrad? I feel like your average reddit refugee just joins lemmy.ml and calls it good. Plus the devs seem against segregating lemmygrad.

The only “crime” the DOJ is alleging is that they violated the Forigen Agents Act by not discolosing funds they may have received from the FSB, or through FSB agents. Not too sure since they constantly claim the Russian nationals that funded ASP were FSB.

Not even clear that this would stand in court since these talking points have been said for decades now. If the DOJ is arguing the intent is due to an “unresonable” sum of money being accepted, in the same way an “unreasonable” amount of drugs must mean intent to distribute, then that would be totally discredited by the fact that these are not new rhetorical talking points.

Imo very weak case, I wouldn’t hold my breath for a non guilty verdict, but this is not going to be easy for the DOJ to prosecute.
