#blinken — Public Fediverse posts

Die letzten paar Tage bin ich ja mit dem Bus zur Arbeit gefahren, daher war heute das erste #mdRzA, #mdRnH und #Frostpendeln dieses Jahr.
Also eine Bestandsaufnahme der diesjährigen Premiere, Hinweg.
- das erste #Autofahry, dem ich begegne kommt von links und biegt so schwungvoll nach rechts, also mir entgegen, ab, dass es mir auf meiner Spur entgegen kommt, Abbiegen natürlich ohne zu #Blinken. (1/7)

#Blinken erklärte, dass den 👉US-#Geheimdiensten Informationen vorlägen, die darauf hindeuteten, dass #Putin die nukleare Option in Betracht gezogen habe.👈

"Selbst wenn die Wahrscheinlichkeit von 5 auf 15 Prozent gestiegen ist, ist nichts ernster, wenn es um Atomwaffen geht", so Blinken."

#ElSalvador faces scrutiny for ‘political’ trial of five #EnvironmentalActivists

UN and legal experts have condemned prosecution of #AntiMining campaigners over alleged civil war-era killing

"Five environmental activists who helped secure a historic mining ban in El Salvador are facing life imprisonment for an alleged civil war-era crime, in a case that has been condemned by #UN and legal experts as baseless and politically motivated.

The trial against Miguel Ángel Gámez, Alejandro Laínez García, Pedro Antonio Rivas Laínez, Antonio Pacheco and Saúl Agustín Rivas Ortega, who were arrested in January 2023 for the alleged killing of an army informant in 1989, opened on Tuesday in Sensuntepeque, in the department of Cabañas in northern El Salvador.

"The case has proceeded in almost total secrecy amid widespread allegations of legal violations – and repeated calls for the charges to be dismissed from UN experts, and hundreds of international lawyers, academics and rights groups.

"The defendants, who were at the forefront of a 13-year grassroots-led campaign to ban #MetalMining to protect the country’s dwindling #water and #farmland from further #contamination, were arrested amid warnings that President Nayib Bukele was planning to overturn the 2017 historic law.

"The five anti-mining activists had denounced suspicious land sales and mining interests operating in the area when arrested, accused of murder and illicit association over an alleged crime during the 1979-1992 civil war.

"'This case has no legal basis, but we fear that the lack of judicial independence and the Bukele government’s desire to overturn the metal mining ban risks the five #environmental leaders being subjected to a terrible miscarriage of justice,' said Pedro Cabezas, coordinator of the Central American Alliance Against Mining.

"'The five are respected community leaders, and sentencing them to inhumane prison conditions would be a death sentence.'"

[...]

"In what was perceived as a show of support for the activists, #Canada, #Germany, #France, the #UK and the #EU sent representatives to pre-trial hearings. The #Biden administration has remained silent despite 17 members of Congress condemning the arrests and urging the secretary of state, Antony #Blinken, to join calls for the charges to be dismissed."

‘Hard to believe’: Venezuela election result met with suspicion abroad

Nicolás #Maduro’s apparent re-election as #Venezuela’s president has been met with
💥scepticism, suspicion and calls for a transparent and detailed breakdown of the vote in Sunday’s controversial poll.💥

Although the results, released by the government-controlled electoral authority, were immediately hailed by Maduro’s allies in Latin America,
they drew a guarded and often accusatory response from others in the region and farther afield.

The #US secretary of state, Antony #Blinken, said Washington had “serious concerns that the result announced does not reflect the will or the votes of the Venezuelan people”.

He said the international community was watching the vote “very closely” and would react accordingly.
“It’s critical that every vote be counted fairly and transparently, that election officials immediately share information with the opposition and independent observers without delay,
and that the electoral authorities publish the detailed tabulation of votes,” said Blinken.

#Spain’s foreign minister, José Manuel #Albares, also called on the electoral authority to release voting information in the interests of “respecting the democratic will” of the Venezuelan people.
“The people of Venezuela yesterday voted democratically and in very large numbers,” Albares told Spain’s Cadena Ser radio on Monday morning.
“We want total transparency and that’s why we’re asking for the results to be published, polling station by polling station. We don’t have a candidate
– we just want a guarantee of transparency.
The publication of polling station information is key so that the results can be verified.”
Albares also urged “calm and civic responsibility” as the results were properly examined.

Richtig #Blinken (Abbiegen, Kreisverkehr, halten, ...): 3 von 10
In die #Engstelle einfahren, obwohl da schon Radfahrende entgegenkommen: 8 von 10
Einem #Hindernis auf der eigenen Fahrbahnseite über die Gegenfahrbahn ausweichen, obwohl dort schon Radfahrende entgegenkommen: 9 von 10
Viel zu schnell durch den #verkehrsberuhigten Bereich: 9 von 10
dabei zu Fuß Gehende anhupen und anpöbeln: 5 von 10
Auf dem #Radweg statt an der #Haltelinie anhalten: 10 von 10… (2/3)

Verständnisfrage an die #Autofahrenden (und Mit-Fahrradfahrenden): Meiner Beobachtung nach gibt es neben den Fraktionen "vorbildlich #blinken vor dem #Richtungswechsel um anderen die gewünschte Richtung anzuzeigen" und "ja lol ey, ich weiß doch wo ich hin will" noch eine dritte #Fraktion:

Blinken erst, wenn ich in der #Kurve bin. Das kann ja mal passieren wenn ich vergessen habe den Blinker zu setzen, aber ich beobachte das sehr häufig auf dem #Fahrrad an einer #Kreuzung mit #Ampel, wo die Leute meiner Meinung nach ganz genau wissen dass sie abbiegen wollen.

Warum? Kennt das noch jemand?

Amid concerns the conflict could spill over, the #Pentagon said late Sat it was sending an #antimissile battery & #battalions of the Patriot ground-based air #defense sys to the #MiddleEast following “recent escalations by #Iran & its proxy forces.”

#UnitedStates Secy of State #Blinken said the #Biden admin believes there is “a likelihood of escalation, escalation by Iranian proxies directed against our forces, directed against our personnel” in the days to come.

Kolejny wspólny rosyjsko-chiński patrol powietrzny

Wszystko wpisuje się w strategię eskalowania przez Pekin, który chce wymusić na Waszyngtonie ustępstwa. Wczoraj poszła w świat informacja, że Anthony Blinken, sekretarz stanu jedzie jeszcze w tym miesiącu do Pekinu, ale dzisiaj na konferencji chińskiego MSZ rzecznik twierdzi, że nic o tym nie wie.

#Blinken, "la #Russia non può vincere, si ritiri dall'#Ucraina"

"La Russia deve mettere fine a detenzioni e sparizioni, ritirare le sue forze dall'Ucraina e porre fine a una #guerra che non può #vincere e non vincerà, non importa quanto brutali siano le sue tattiche".
