The ICJ is preparing to render its decision in the Myanmar genocide case. The case will test a set of legal propositions that will be central to assessing whether Russia's war on Ukraine rises to the level of genocide, write Anastasiya Donets, Susan Farbstein and George Tyler.

Everyone has a choice (even choices, in many cases). Whether they choose to accept that and act on it or not is most often the issue. Free will is a thing even for the indoctrinated.

Matthew Sheffield@matthew.flux.community

If someone was told from birth by all of their family & religious leaders that Democrats are servants of Satan bent on destroying the human race through pedophilia & "gender ideology," do you think that person has a choice? Maybe somewhat, but if Jesus will murder you for voting Dem, I'm not sure.

Damn, I didn't have Witkoff as a party to this shit with Musk. Worthless, sniveling prick. So Musk and Witkoff decided throttling Starshield was the best way to punish Ukraine. And Musk called the WH AFTER he did it.

@tachimine.bsky.social

So the WH knew who the fuck did it and probably why, but both camps lied about it and pointed fingers when asked. Meanwhile, Russia was raining hell down on civilian targets while Musk lies and says Ukraine was doing that with Starlink, and that's why he throttled the system.

Also, this is what Musk's bitch ass said "Using Starlink, a civilian commercial service, for offensive drone strikes to kill people has never been allowed, nor should it be," So he fucking throttled access allowing RUSSIANS to kill people, namely civilians.

tachi@tachimine.bsky.social

Musk NOW claiming that Ukraine violated some terms of agreement for the use of his system is so much bullshit. Especially after he's been blaming the throttling on trump all this time. I still think they both had a hand in it after trump talked to Putin.

@tachimine.bsky.social

And IF his claims are to be believed, then what happens when someone violates a TOS? You get a fucking notification. He could have told Ukraine why their access was throttled and they could have shown him where he's wrong. Instead, he lied. But somehow we're supposed to believe him now? No.

Garland started his investigation into J6 in like March or so of 2021, right after he was confirmed by the Senate. Jack Smith was appointed as Special Counsel in Nov of 2022. Smith was hired as soon as trump announced he was going to run. Ask yourself who was president until Jan 21, 2021.

I was pretty damn close on this one. The biggest questions are (for me) where is the Starshield command and control center housed? And who actually controls it. And even if the military controls it that doesn't mean musk didn't tell trump what could be done to throttle the system back.

Angry@angrystaffer.bsky.social

If this is accurate, Elon lied about not having control over Starshield, and he lied about the administration making the decision. More importantly, why is a private citizen even *able* to make decisions that could hinder US military operations?
