My favorite take on this development:
Not because I agree with it, but because how absurd that a guy with that name is saying it.
here's what Herr Doktor WAR has to say about geopolitics:
The plastic Dr. War probably has more sensible takes on geopolitics than the twitter guy.
Herr Doktor War is displeased by your peace negotiations
China with no credibility beats the West with negative credibility apparently.
Palestinians: "What credibility do you have?"
China: "Uhhh... I'm not the other guy."
Palestinians: "Okay, checks out. When shall we meet?"
democrats: "why doesn't that work for us?"
Cause they are the other guy
i meant in
elections
"The United States is also a one-party state but, with typical American extravagance, they have two of them."
but did julius consider there might be a dang cheeto in the whitehouse?
Cause they are the other guy
China mediating US election would be helluva hilarious
He's right that it's easy to fill a void left by western nations (but mostly America) being so phenomenally shit. Hopefully this works out the way the China-lead Iran-Saudi Arabia talks did - all China needs to do is be a fair arbiter and they'll have all the credibility they could possibly ask for.
Western skill issue. I would simply not give unlimited military and political support to a genocidal apartheid state.
China: treats non-Western nations like rational human beings
Western nations: stop it, diplomacy is evil!
being a neutral party is bad actually, you're only allowed to talk to Palestinians if you already fully support their genocide
He had to put legacy at the end there otherwise it would also apply to every institution he believes in lmao. "We were here first!!!
"
China has had diplomatic relations with the Arab nations since about 650 CE, when Dr War's ancestors were squatting in mud huts trying to recover from the collapse of Rome, but it's the Chinese who have no legacy.
Yeah but China doesn't have a satellite state occupying their land does it
Not being deeply involved, I imagine, is part of the appeal. They can play neutral arbiter without inflaming old grudges
What do you mean you want the accused criminal to be judged by someone who isn't their half brother and best friend? What about credibility and legitimacy and legacy?!
Hol up everyone, Herr Doktor Andy War has some takes to share
Thank you for alerting me to this emote's existence
it's magnificent
Their values aren't "inconsistently applied", they do not have values.
He's so incredibly German, it's awful
Fitting namesake
China has a lot of credibility in the Palestinian conflict, stretching back decades. With the founder of the PLFP saying “China is our best friend” and Yassir Arafat saying , “China was the biggest influence in supporting and strengthening our revolution.”
Article on the subject of Chinese historical support for Palestinian liberation.
Exactly. Just goes to show how historically uninformed, or even misinformed, most westerners are. This is part of why I try to defer to global south comrades, they seem to have a better grasp on things than I do even after years of intense study.
