The lines are draw clearly now, hence no aid for Syria

'Total assistance by the EU and its Member States to the Syria crisis: more than €27.4 billion since 2011.'

'The United States is the leading donor of humanitarian assistance for Syria, providing nearly $16 billion throughout Syria and the region since the start of the crisis.'

'In response to the ongoing crisis in Syria, Australia has provided about $525 million dollars in humanitarian support since 2011, including the $249 million, four-year Syria Crisis Humanitarian and Resilience Package (2017-20).'

Little foreign aid has arrived in the country - and promises of better access may not change much.

Going full liberal does not work, you can pump as much money as you like, only a small percentage actually helps,

Money best used in this country.

It's getting help despite the Syrian governments desire for it to only go through their channels.

Liberalism is a political and moral philosophy based on the rights of the individual, liberty, consent of the governed, political equality and equality before the law.[1][2][3] Liberals espouse various views depending on their understanding of these principles. However, they generally support private property, market economies, individual rights (including civil rights and human rights), liberal democracy, secularism, rule of law, economic and political freedom, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of assembly, and freedom of religion.[11]

Charity’s start at home, if there is anything left then help others.
If you cant help people in this country then you should not help other countries.

So Elon doesn't want to escalate the war and doesn't want more people being killed. SpaceX isn't in the business of helping the military....

Now see SpaceX new product for the military.

With Starshield, SpaceX readies for battle

SpaceX is answering the Pentagon’s call for more commercial allies with Starshield, a business that will leverage its manufacturing might to provide custom- built spacecraft, sensors, and secure co…

Will he shut that down if the military use it to drop bombs and guide drones? Will it go against his humanitarian views? Will he ****.

Is pilfering the treasury at every opportunity what conservatives call charity?

He will carry on, it is about profits and ego to be ahead.

You may dislike it but it is the truth.
Everyone complains the cost of living has increased, everyone wants their living standard to be constant or increasing.

We have people in this country living in substandard conditions, people on the streets, people going hungry etc…. And it will only get worse.

People complain about the environment,fail to understand economic progress and expansion are the cause.

He almost is, he is developing the god complex.

Either way, Musk is a tosspot out of his depth legally when it comes to refusing the Ukrainians *commercial* use of Starlink for their lawful purposes. Expect a class action by minority investors against Musk for losing them money on the basis of his personal (not business) belief 'ahm wurreed about wurld war threee'. He needs replacing. His legal duty of care is only to advance the interests of the company investors. His private opinion is irrelevant.

It is an expression that only comes out as a justification for not helping others.

You make it sound like its a either/or argument. So if we don't help those we can help these. You are making the mistake that our government wants to help ours. If they don't spend £10m on aid they won't spend that same £10m on people living on the streets or going hungry. That simply isn't the case. Its an argument that is being used with regards to our military aid to Ukraine.

SpaceX is a private company.

SpaceX is a private company.

Anyone who holds 5% of the shares in a private company is a minority investor with statutory clout. Unless he owns more than 95%, Musks ass is grass.

If I was in military procurement it would be tough to subscribe to a system in which its functionality could be pulled at the whim of some ******.

It is an either or argument. We only have so much resource. It is not unlimited.
