you “know” that “Russia has a pattern of this sort of behaviours” because the BBC told you so

No. Other reliable sources have also mentioned the stories I raised. Here is the UK police talking about the Russia-backed arson of a warehouse in London. And here on the UK government’s website you can find the report of the inquiry into the Salisbury poisonings (with a Russian chemical weapon) in 2018.

That inquiry which I mentioned was conducted by a senior judge, who concluded this:

Petrov, Boshirov and Fedotov were members of an operational team within the GRU – the Russian military intelligence agency responsible for foreign intelligence gathering. I am sure that, in conducting their attack on Sergei Skripal, they were acting on instructions. I have concluded that the operation to assassinate Sergei Skripal must have been authorised at the highest level, by President Putin.

My experience with them is that they get the facts right.

If the BBC thinks Russia was behind the arson attacks on properties and a car connected to the prime minister, I will believe the BBC, for two reasons:

1. The BBC is a reliable reporter of facts
2. Russia has a pattern of this sort of behaviour (like when they paid Brits to burn a warehouse in London, and when they brought a chemical weapon to the UK which killed an innocent British woman)

He did, but he left Meta last year. From the article:

Clegg, who spent nearly seven years at Meta as the head of global affairs, told The Rest is Money podcast that it felt like “a very good time for me to move on” when he left the company in March 2025, three months into the second Trump administration.

But yeah he still took their money for a long time.

Very true. Big business will claim to have moral values but only because they think those values will make them money.

The view of tankies is “I hate imperialism when the West does it, but I love imperialism when anybody else does it”

Where are the tankies telling us that Taiwan belongs to the glorious benevolent PRC and that the views of Taiwan’s people should be disregarded because they’re all evil imperialist Nazis (or whatever it is that tankies believe)? I guess they’re all circlejerking over on Lemmy.ml

I absolutely agree with Zelenskyy that Ukraine is justified in hitting Russian oil infrastructure and military infrastructure, until the Russian military withdraws entirely from Ukraine.

Unfortunately though there are tankies on Lemmy who believe that every single Ukrainian is an evil Nazi who deserves to be murdered by the benevolent Russian regime. That’s why I asked “do you agree”.
