You know what hurts me? (Apart from Israel's crimes against the Palestinians)

That Poles no longer remember the crimes of the border guards (the Polish and Belarusian ones, but Poland was worse and I say it straight)

The border guard beat people, destroyed their phones (while preventing them from communicating with their family and lawyers), caused two women to have miscarriages (And do you know what the pro-life women wanted to do? Shoot these people, yes, you heard that right, but we are the murderers , because we are pro-abortion, fun, right?), laughed at the paralyzed child of one of the immigrants, did not allow help to people in a tragic condition (Israel likes it) and even attacked journalists (Yes, it happened)

Holland was too nice to those bastards

I tried to mention it many times, but unfortunately, not many things happened, let the people on the border and the Palestinians be free!

Let's not allow the Zionists and the larger power to censor us or those who need us, they must finally be heard, the people on the border and the Palestinians have been ignored for a long time, but it must end

And here you have a woman who is responsible for these crimes

Talking to Applebaum, I imagined a British government abolishing press freedom and the independence of the judiciary and the civil service. I didn’t doubt for a moment that there would be thousands of mediocre journalists, broadcasters, lawyers and administrators who would happily work for the new regime if it pandered to their vanity by giving them the jobs they could never have taken on merit. Hannah Arendt wrote of the communists and fascists that they replaced “first-rate talents” with “crackpots and fools whose lack of intelligence and creativity” was the best guarantee of their loyalty. She might have been talking about contemporary Poland, Britain and America. “Given the right conditions any society can turn against democracy,” Applebaum says, and explains why better than any modern writer I know. To the political consequences of offended vanity – Why am I not more important? Why does the BBC never call? – a sense of despair is vital. If you believe, like the American right, that godless enemies want to destroy your Christian country, and prove their malice by not giving you the rewards you deserve, or think, like Scruton and the Telegraph crowd of the 1990s, that English culture and history is being thrown in the bin, and you are being chucked away with it, or agree with the supporters of the new tyrants of eastern Europe that a liberal elite is plotting to extinguish your culture by importing Muslim immigrants, and proving its contempt for all that is decent by laughing at you, then any swine will do as long as the swine can stop it. You will pay any price and abandon any principle in the struggle against a demonic enemy.

Trump's NATO comments reverberate across Europe.

February 13, 2024

ROBERT B. HUBBELL

Trump's anti-NATO comments over the weekend have focused attention on US foreign policy commitments. At a meeting of the EU on Monday, Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski reminded a reporter that the NATO treaty’s “mutual defense” provision has been invoked only once—to assist the United States after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. As reported in Politico,

Referring directly to Trump's comments, Sikorski underlined that “the [NATO] alliance is not a security agency,” stressing that NATO allies came to America's aid after the September 11 attacks and that Poland fought alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan. “We didn't send the bill to Washington,” he said.

Dozens of readers posted Comments and sent emails noting that it is beyond hypocritical for Trump to pretend that timely payment of bills is grounds for abandoning an ally. Trump famously stiffs every lawyer, contractor, service provider, and vendor possible, leaving a string of unpaid debts and collection lawsuits in his wake.

Many major media outlets continued coverage of Trump's statement, notably the NYTimes, which ran a front-page “news analysis” titled, “Trump Steps Up, Helping Biden Just When the President Needs Him,” and a second story highlighting Trump's attack on Nikki Haley’s husband, Major Mike Haley, “Defending Troops, Haley Says Golf Course Is Closest Trump Has Come to Combat.”

The thesis of the Times coverage is that Trump consistently draws attention away from Biden’s age by injecting Trump's recklessness into the political equation. Per the Times news analysis,

The stunner from Mr. Trump over the weekend not only drew attention away from the president’s memory problems, as detailed in a special counsel report, but also provided a convenient way for Mr. Biden’s defenders to reframe the issue: Yes, they could now say, the incumbent may be an old man who sometimes forgets things, but his challenger is both aging and dangerously reckless. It was not the first time, nor likely will it be the last, that Mr. Trump has stepped up when an adversary was in trouble to provide an escape route with an ill-considered howler of his own. Mr. Trump’s lifelong appetite for attention has often collided with his evident best interest.

For Mr. Biden, that may be the key to this year’s campaign, banking on his opponent’s inability to stay silent at critical moments and hoping that he keeps reminding voters why they rejected him in 2020.

But Trump's dangerous views on foreign policy are not mere campaign fodder. They have infected his party, which is looking for a way to kill aid for Ukraine.

As the Senate moves closer to a final vote on supplemental funding for Ukraine and Israel, Speaker Mike Johnson preemptively rejected the bill because—wait for it—the foreign aid bill does not include US immigration reform and border security provisions!! See The Hill, Speaker Johnson fires warning shot as Senate prepares to vote on Ukraine aid

In case you have forgotten, Trump ordered congressional Republicans to kill a prior version of the aid bill that included immigration reform and border security provisions. Because of Trump's opposition to immigration reform and enhanced border security, GOP Senators voted down the combined bill.

Now that the Senate is sending a bill with foreign aid only, Speaker Mike Johnson is playing the legislative version of the “rope-a-dope” gambit where the American people and Ukraine are the victims of a bad-faith delaying strategy. 

While foreign policy rarely plays a decisive role in US presidential campaigns, Trump's threat to abandon NATO and encourage Russian aggression deserves the attention of every American who values global stability. If Ukrainian soldiers cannot contain Russia’s expansionism, the next country in Putin’s sights will be Poland—a NATO member.

For my namesake Juliusz

💎 - Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?🧊 - Is their current design the first one?

Oooooooohohohohohoho okay the first one is juicy, sorry if my rambling is a little incoherent. I've thought about it a LOT, lemme tell ya. He's definetly not getting killed in the "canonical" story of KoS, but i have thought about the different 'what if's' and their outcomes like:

What if the story never happened and everything went the 'canonical' way of Peaky? Then i could see some messed up stuff happening in season 5 during the whole Mosley business. Either Julek quits himself (which is pretty unlikely, as i can imagine he'll have at least a slither of hope for whatever Tommy's plan is, if he even knew the plan, that is). OR, more realistically, i feel like either Tommy fires him when Mosley tells him to (again, s5e5, 'Your company lawyer is a jew, he has to go' like???? Stephen Knight is inside my walls) resulting in Juliusz feeling absolutely betrayed by Tommy and the Shelby's. And who knows, maybe he'd come back to work for Alfie, but i feel like he'd just feel like a wreck of a man and hardly...live. Or maybe he'd come back to Poland! But...well...we all know what will happen in a few years' time. If Tommy wouldn't fire him, i feel like the Billy boys would not hesitate to 'help him out'. I mean, he's not only a jew, but a jewish immigrant, a queer one at that. Yea he's getting a car bomb if he appears in s5, im sorry.

There's also some 'what if's' to actual events in KoS, buuuuuuut that would go into some heavy spoilers, but i'd be happy to rejoin this conversation when the main story ends.

If i have to be honest though, Juliusz dying is a subject of a lot of angsty scenarios, and while i'm not planning on putting it in Kings of Spades, i just loooove to imagine the angst :>>

NOW, the lighter question lol Yes and no? Juliusz has a faceclaim i use for convenience, but it's more so i can imagine him better when thinking about the story. Originally he was more like a... scattered collection of features? If that makes sense. Before the fc i kind of left him blank as a design (mostly because originally KoS was supposed to be an xreader but i scrapped that really fast lol). Now he's slowly growing into his design, i still suck at drawing him like i imagine him though xd

thanks for the ask july <3333

ouu wanna give me some veronica mars jewish headcanons? any character you choose!

There are so many good options here (like I am very sure in my heart that the Sinclairs and therefore Mac are Jewish), but I am going to go with our boy Weevil.

Because we associate Latinos with Catholicism, but there are Jews all over Central America. Ask my high school friend who attended her cousin's lavish Bar Mitzvah in Mexico City. Ask my Salvadorean former co-worker who discovered, while cleaning out her emotionally distant alcoholic father's things after his death, evidence that he was Jewish and just understandably hid it from everyone including his future wife and kids after immigrating to El Salvador from Europe post WWII. And it is that second story I am going to borrow a little from for my headcanon.

I believe that Leti raised Eli going to the Cathoic church, but now imagine that he randomly gets a call from a cousin he's never heard of before or maybe a lawyer representing the family. In this headcanon, his mom was deported when he was still really young (which is a nice departure from my usual imagining that she overdosed), and that's how his dad's mom ended up raising him in the first place (his dad's new girl wasn't exactly keen to have him underfoot, which is again a kindness from my usual headcanon of his dad in jail) and logically he knows that she left him behind so that he would be "safe" and have "opportunities" (both of which make him feel extra shitty about how he's actually lived his life) but of course the little boy that lives inside of him will never not feel abandoned and like he somehow wasn't good enough for her to keep him with her. But now she's dead and they need him to fly out to a homeland he's never stepped foot on to resolve the terms of the will (and sign away some property there) and he doesn't want to go but is persuaded anyway (Maybe by his [half] sister, maybe by one of the boys, maybe Jade. The important thing is that he gets on that plane).

And he learns a lot about himself, and his mom, and so many other things on that trip, but one of those things is that his maternal great grandmother immigrated from Poland after surviving the Holocaust and that makes his mom Jewish, which apparently makes him Jewish. And he doesn't actually know what to do with that and he definitely doesn't appreciate Veronica mentioning it in front of Logan after she squeezes it out of him after his return. He absolutely expects Echolls to make fun of him about it, but instead Logan lights up like a damned Christmas Tree Menorah and starts insisting they have to make His grandmother's noodle kugel (because Lynn was now Jewish too, this is my headcanon and everyone is now Jewish) and a bunch of other plans that Eli has no fucking clue what they mean. The part about getting blackout drunk for Purim, at least, seems fairly straightforward.

Countries that provide dual citizenship with the UK

In the UK, having dual citizenship means having simultaneous citizenship in the United Kingdom and another nation. Those with family links abroad or those who wish to move freely between nations may find it advantageous.

Although having two citizenships has certain drawbacks (such paying taxes twice, having military responsibilities, or not being eligible for some government programmes), they are usually offset by the positives according to the top immigration lawyers in London. With a few notable exceptions, the UK permits dual citizenship with several other nations.

Advantages of Dual Citizenship

If you are not a British citizen and you want to relocate to the UK, you may wish to think about requesting dual citizenship. The following are some advantages of dual citizenship with the UK:

1. Staying in Both Nations

You are able to reside in two nations concurrently. This implies that you can still go to or remain in England for extended periods of time without losing your rights as an Englishman, even if your spouse or children have relocated abroad and you intend to retire there.

2. Right to Vote

You are eligible to vote in both nations' elections. Since it is lawful in the majority of nations with dual citizenship legislation, many people actually take advantage of this opportunity by casting two ballots during elections.

Keep in mind that several nations only permit voting in parliamentary elections—not municipal ones. You will not be eligible to vote in local or parliamentary elections if you have resided outside of the UK for more than 15 years.

3. Hassle-free Travel

You don't need a passport or a visa to travel freely across the UK. When travelling as a dual citizen, there should be no issues as long as you carry your British passport with you and consult one of the immigration lawyers in London.

4. Social Benefits

Possessing dual citizenship entitles you receive social advantages from both nations. This covers social security, health insurance, and other government-funded initiatives.

More About Dual Citizenship in the UK

Being a citizen of more than one nation, or holding two citizenships, is known as dual nationality.

This may be the result of your parents' different nationalities or the fact that you were born in one location and later relocated.

Additionally, there are other kinds of dual citizenship:

Dual Nationality by Birth

In the event that you were born in the United Kingdom or a British Overseas Territory, you must verify your eligibility and apply for citizenship.

Depending on where and when you were born, as well as the circumstances surrounding your parents, you may potentially qualify if you have a parent who has a British citizenry.

You could be able to register as a British citizen, for instance, if both of your parents are British citizens, or if one of them is and the other has the right to remain in the country indefinitely.

Dual Nationality through Naturalization

You might have to give up your original citizenship if you wish to seek for naturalization in another nation to obtain a second citizenship.

Countries That Provide Dual Citizenship with the UK

There are many countries which allow dual citizenship. Some of the countries that permit UK dual citizenship include:

Armenia

Australia

Bangladesh

Barbados

Belgium

Canada

Croatia

Cyprus

Czech Republic

Denmark

Egypt

Finland

France

Germany

Greece

Hungary

Iceland

Iraq

Ireland

Israel

Luxembourg

Malta

Pakistan

Philippines

Poland

Portugal

Romania

Serbia

Slovenia

South Africa

Sri Lanka

Sweden

Switzerland

Syria

Thailand

Tonga

Turkey

United Arab Emirates (UAE)

United States

Eligibility for UK’s Dual Citizenship

There are conditions that must be fulfilled if you are a citizen of the United Kingdom and wish to get dual citizenship. Finding out if you qualify for dual nationality in the UK—that is, having dual citizenship with another nation—is the first stage in the process.

To qualify for this opportunity, you must be:

18 years of age or older

possess a minimum of 12 months' worth of UK residency (unless married to a British citizen or established person)

You must have passed the Life in the UK exam and the English language proficiency criterion.

have not violated any immigration laws in the UK while you were a qualified resident

You must fulfil the prerequisites listed above in addition to possessing another citizenship or being eligible for

Families Separated at Border Reach Settlement (NYT) Lawyers representing thousands of families separated at the southern border during a Trump administration crackdown have reached a settlement with the federal government that enables the migrants to remain in the United States and apply for asylum, putting them on the path to permanent legal residency. The agreement, filed on Monday in federal court in San Diego, concludes years of negotiations that were part of a class-action lawsuit to address the harm inflicted by family separations carried out in 2017 and 2018. The policy was a key component of the Trump administration’s efforts to curb unauthorized immigration. Children were systematically taken from their parents and sent to shelters and foster homes across the country, and parents were criminally charged for entering the country unlawfully. The objective was to deliver a powerful deterrent to families planning to come to the United States, even those seeking asylum. All told, several thousand foreign-born children were taken from their parents. Later, it emerged that hundreds of U.S.-born children crossing the border with migrant parents were also subjected to the policy.

Polish opposition poised to oust ruling nationalists in major political shift (Reuters) Poland’s ruling nationalists appeared on Monday to have lost their parliamentary majority in the nation’s most pivotal election in decades, potentially opening the way for opposition parties to seize power in what would be a huge political shift. Poland has repeatedly clashed with the European Union over the rule of law, media freedom, migration and LGBT rights since Law and Justice came to power in 2015, but opposition parties have vowed to mend ties with Brussels and undo reforms critics say undermine democratic standards. Victory for the opposition in a vote seen by analysts as the most significant election for Europe in years, could potentially redefine the relationship between Brussels and the largest EU member state in central and eastern Europe.

For Hostages’ Families, an ‘Endless Loop of Hope and Despair’ (NYT) Yakov Argamani has the pale face and broken soul of a man whose child is in extreme danger. He shuffles around his immaculate house in southern Israel, a book of psalms in his right hand, the front door constantly banging open and shut with visitors, plates of freshly made food, more than he could ever possibly eat, piling up on the countertops. “Noa was here, there, everywhere,” he said of his daughter, Noa, who was kidnapped. “Her smell is missing, her voice. All of a sudden it’s gone.” “And I’m lost,” he said. Hen Avigdori, a screenwriter, is missing his wife and daughter. “I’m in this endless loop of hope and despair, hope and despair,” he said. “I need some proof of life. I need to know where my wife and daughter are. It’s driving me crazy.” These are the families experiencing the unbearable anguish of being in the middle of the world’s most complicated hostage crisis in recent memory. Babies, grandmothers and wounded Israeli soldiers. Americans, Filipinos, French and Mexicans. On Monday, the number of publicly known hostages increased to almost 200, up from the 150 that had been spoken of since the beginning of the conflict.

Israelis Gird for a Deeper War Amid a Crisis of Trust in the Government (NYT) On the ninth day after Hamas overran more than 20 Israeli pastoral communities and army bases, killing more than 1,300 people and taking nearly 200 hostages back to Gaza, Israel was a country on edge. Israelis were girding with grim determination for an imminent ground invasion into the Palestinian enclave controlled by Hamas even as tensions escalated on the northern border with Lebanon, threatening a long and devastating conflict on several fronts. All this is happening amid a total breakdown of trust between the citizens and the state of Israel, and a collapse of everything Israelis believed in and relied on. Initial assessments point to an Israeli intelligence failure before the surprise attack, the failure of a sophisticated border barrier, the military’s slow initial response and a government that seems to have busied itself with the wrong things and now appears largely absent and dysfunctional. “We have woken to a terrible sobriety about whose hands we put our fate in,” said Dorit Rabinyan, an author in Tel Aviv. “All the time you said to yourself, ‘I am paying half of what I earn in taxes, but it is for security, national security, at least that.’”

As Israeli Invasion Looms, Diplomats Seek to Meet Gaza’s Dire Human Needs (NYT) Diplomats were locked in frantic talks on Sunday to ease the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as an Israeli ground invasion appeared imminent. At the same time, the United States was deploying a second aircraft carrier to the Eastern Mediterranean amid fears of a wider war. Capturing these concerns on Sunday was Ant��nio Guterres, the secretary general of the United Nations, who said, “We are on the verge of the abyss in the Middle East.” Officials from the United States, Egypt and Middle Eastern countries sought to ease what Israeli officials have called the “siege” of Gaza, which has led to dire shortages of food, water, gasoline and other essentials in the blockaded territory. As Israeli troops massed on the border, more than two million Gaza residents endured a panicked countdown to the expected start of a ground invasion of northern Gaza.

Gaza’s Hospitals Face ‘Impossible’ Choices With Israel Evacuation Order (NYT) Hundreds of people injured in Israeli airstrikes are streaming into hospitals in Gaza, transported by overfilled ambulances and sharing bloodied gurneys at the entrances. Workers and bystanders rush to carry the victims inside, where only the most critically wounded are allowed to stay, and the rest are sent home. On Friday, Israel ordered hospitals in northern Gaza—along with more than one million Palestinians—to evacuate and flee southward before an anticipated Israeli ground invasion of the territory. The order has created for patients and their caretakers an impossible dilemma: stay or go. “It’s absolutely impossible to evacuate the hospital,” said Dr. Muhammad Abu Salima, the director of Gaza City’s Al Shifa Hospital, the territory’s largest medical complex. “There is nowhere in Gaza that can accept the number of patients in our intensive care unit or neonatal intensive care unit or even the operating rooms.” “If someone doesn’t die from the bombardment, then he’ll die from the lack of medical service,” he said. The evacuation of northern Gaza is meant to take civilians out of harm’s way, Israel says. But it has left people in Gaza with an impossible choice. Services in southern Gaza, already strained after years of an international blockade, are at their breaking point, and the south is also subject to airstrikes. Many Gazans also say they would rather die in their homes than flee.

Gaza’s oldest church shelters Muslims, Christians (Aljazeera) When an Israeli air raid destroyed Walaa Sobeh’s house and much of her neighbourhood, the Palestinian Muslim sought shelter in Gaza’s oldest church. At the Church of Saint Porphyrius, she found not just sanctuary, but a feeling of belonging to “one family”—united by both the terror of bombs exploding around them and a hope that they could survive Israel’s attacks. So she telephoned other relatives in north Gaza and asked them to make their way to the church, too. Sobeh and her family are among hundreds of Palestinians across different faiths who have found safety—at least for now—at the church. At a time when the deadly Hamas attack on Israel on October 7 and Israel’s subsequent bombardment of Gaza have sparked a surge in Islamophobia in parts of the world, the Greek Orthodox church has emerged as an emblem of a deeper identity as Palestinians. “We are here living the day, not sure if we can make it to the night. But what eases our pain is the humble and warm spirit of everyone around,” Sobeh said. She described receiving “enormous support from the priests and other people in the church who volunteer tirelessly around the clock to help the displaced families”. So far, the church has escaped Israeli missiles.

A Fertilizer Shortage Is Spreading Hunger (NYT) Suleiman Chubado is not entirely clear what caused the price of fertilizer to more than double over the past year, but he is bitterly aware of the consequences. At his farm in northeastern Nigeria, he can no longer afford enough fertilizer, so his corn is stunted and pale, the scraggly plants bending toward the powdery earth. Inside his mud house, he has grown accustomed to explaining to his two young children and pregnant wife why they must make do with two meals a day—and sometimes only one—even as hunger gnaws. As he and his neighbors commiserate over the calamity unfolding across much of Africa, they exchange theories on one source of trouble: Russia’s war on Ukraine, which disrupted shipments of key ingredients for fertilizer. “We are in two different worlds, separated by airplanes and oceans,” Mr. Chubado said. “How can it be affecting us here?” That question is reverberating in many lower-income countries. Farmers are grappling with shocks that made fertilizer scarce and unaffordable, diminishing harvests, raising food prices and spreading hunger. The war in Ukraine reduced the region’s grain exports and sent the price of staples like wheat soaring from Egypt to Indonesia. The world’s food supply is also menaced by the ravages of climate change—heat waves, drought, floods. Now, scarce and expensive fertilizer is combining with these other forces to threaten livelihoods.

Want a Discount? Pay in Cash. (WSJ) Discounts for paying cash are now on the menu at coffee shops, restaurants and other stores as businesses search for ways to skirt rising credit-card transaction fees. The share of all cash purchases that came with a discount climbed 66% between 2015 and 2022, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. Some retailers are nudging us to use cash by imposing surcharges if you want to pay by credit card, while others offer cash discounts.

‘Freak of nature’ tree is the find of a lifetime for forest explorer (Washington Post) TJ Watt has spent half his life as a forest explorer, a self-described “tree hunter” in British Columbia. He wades deep into endangered forests to find pristine towering trees that are hundreds of years old and massively wide but have never been photographed or documented. The day he approached a gargantuan western red cedar, he’d been trekking with a friend for several hours in a remote area on Flores Island off the west coast of Vancouver Island. As he drew closer to the tree, Watt said he was overcome with disbelief: He was dwarfed by a tree standing 151 feet tall and 17 and a half feet in diameter. The tree, believed to be more than 1,000 years old, was the find of a lifetime. It’s one of the largest old-growth cedars ever documented in British Columbia, Watt said. “I feel humbled every time I think about it,” said Watt, 39. “I nicknamed it ‘The Wall,’ because it can only be described as a literal wall of wood.” “The tree leaves you with a sense of wonder about the natural world and the universe,” said one viewer.

Myanmar Extends Jail Term Of Japanese Journalist By 3 More Years

Toru Kubota, 26, was detained in July.Yangon: Myanmar's junta on Wednesday jailed a Japanese journalist arrested while filming an anti-coup protest for three more years for violating immigration law, a diplomatic source told AFP.The sentence came on the same day a closed junta court handed ousted leader Aung San Suu Kyi another six years in prison for corruption, according to a source with knowledge of the case, taking the Nobel laureate's total jail time to 26 years.Toru Kubota, 26, who was detained in July and jailed for seven years last week, was sentenced to an additional "three years imprisonment", a diplomatic source at Japan's embassy said, citing the journalist's lawyer.Myanmar's junta has clamped down on press freedoms, arresting reporters and photographers, as well as revoking broadcasting licences during its crackdown on dissent since seizing power last year.Kubota, who was arrested near an anti-government rally in commercial hub Yangon along with two Myanmar citizens, appeared in good health at the hearing on Wednesday, the source said, citing his lawyer.According to a profile on FilmFreeway, Kubota has made documentaries on Myanmar's Muslim Rohingya minority and "refugees and ethnic issues in Myanmar".Kubota is the fifth foreign journalist to be detained in Myanmar, after US citizens Nathan Maung and Danny Fenster, Robert Bociaga of Poland and Yuki Kitazumi of Japan -- all of whom were later freed and deported.Before the sentence was announced, junta spokesman Zaw Min Tun told AFP that Kubota "would not be deported at this moment", without giving details.Phil Robertson, Asia deputy director at Human Rights Watch, said Kubota was being used as a "political pawn" by the junta."By imprisoning Kubota, the junta is sending a chilling message to the foreign media to enter at your own risk," he said.'Sham trial'Suu Kyi, 77, has been detained since the military toppled her government in a coup in February last year, ending the Southeast Asian country's brief period of democracy.She has since been convicted on a clutch of charges, including violating the official secrets act, electoral fraud and illegally possessing walkie-talkies.In the latest case, Suu Kyi was "sentenced to three years imprisonment each for two corruption cases" in which she had been accused of taking bribes from a businessman, the source said.These jail terms will be served concurrently, the source added.The businessman, Maung Weik, appeared in a video televised by a military broadcaster last year claiming he had given Suu Kyi $550,000 over several years.Maung Weik -- who was convicted of drug trafficking in 2008 -- also said he had donated money to senior figures in Suu Kyi's government for the good of his business.Suu Kyi -- who denies all charges against her -- appeared in good health and will appeal, the source added.She is currently on trial for five other corruption charges. Each carries a maximum of 15 years in prison.A spokesperson for Amnesty International slammed the latest trial as a sham that "cannot be taken seriously".A junta spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.Journalists have been barred from attending the court hearings and Suu Kyi's lawyers banned from speaking to the media.In June, she was transferred from house arrest to a prison in the capital Naypyidaw, where her trials are being held in a courthouse inside the prison compound.Myanmar has been in turmoil since the military seized power, sparking widespread armed resistance.The junta has responded with a crackdown that rights groups say includes razing villages, mass extrajudicial killings and airstrikes on civilians.More than one million people have been displaced since the coup, according to the United Nations children's agency.According to a local monitoring group, more than 2,300 people have been killed and over 15,000 arrested since the military seized power.

@notbigondoors and I plotted some absolute nonsense

“Mister Stark, I’m sorry but there’s really nothing I can do. At this point, the decision is more political than legal...” Gregory Jacobs was definitely not paid enough to be Stark’s lawyer. He wasn’t even a specialist immigration lawyer, he worked for Stark’s general legal team and Tony had brought him on to hire Wanda’s immigraton paperwork. Wanda was of course very grateful for all the support and help Gregory, Vision and Tony had provided but this meeting was getting on her final nerve, as it obviously was getting on Tony’s.

The four of them were sat on the couches at the compound as Mr. Jacobs explained the outcome of his most recent communication with the American government. Tony pinched the bridge of his nose. Wanda took her turn to speak. “So, they’re going to kick me out because they don’t like me?”

“Correction: Ross doesn’t like you. That bastard is trying to flex his muscles and please his base by getting you deported.” Tony reminded her. Wanda wasn’t sure that was exactly true, the right wing of American politics absolutely hated her. “They must have a real reason for denying her visa extension. She has no country to go back to. Captain America is her sponsor!” He gesticulated. Vision said nothing but continued rifling through the papers Jacobs had brought, looking deep in thought.

There was some more legal talk that went over Wanda’s head, some more rifling through documents and some promises to get in contact with some specialist lawyers but Jacobs eventually left the way he came, leaving the three of them on the couches looking exhausted. Wanda decided to break the tension. “Poland’s nice this time of year. I could commute.” She muttered darkly.

“Why are we going to Poland?” Sam asked because it seemed at that moment that every other Avenger was entering the room. Steve, Sam, Natasha. Great, more people to talk about this with. Wanda’s head fell back on the sofa. Maybe they should facetime Clint and get him in on the action.

“Wanda’s visa extension got denied.” Tony explained as he poured himself a whisky and then handed another to Wanda. She tried not to down it in one. “What’s worse is that none of the countries who’ve eaten up Sokovia want to accept her as theirs. She’s stateless.”
