The MAGA godfather isn’t serious about becoming president — that’s not the point. Instead, he’s told allies he wants to shape the debate and pressure Republican candidates to embrace an “America First” agenda — including a non-interventionist foreign policy, economic populism and opposition to Big Tech.
It reads to me like fake opposition like we see in most hollowed out democracies.
Do Americans really think they’ll get to vote again? Interesting.
Though Oreshnik stole the show
Putin trying to cope with being shown how things are done by his Trumpy buddy? The US stole the show in Iran and in Venezuela, making Russian struggles in Ukraine even more pathetic.
Perhaps Russia will be inclined to test that next, should Zelensky or the West continue their naughty provocations.
Nice fan-fiction text and Schadenfreude, it’s really sad.
Many called for Russia to strike Kiev with the Oreshnik as part of the retaliation
This really shows how disturbed some people are.
I don’t know why I did it to myself to read this biased mess of a website, but it was entertaining in its own way.
It will probably go on as all totalitarian regimes go: either a lot of blood and then hopefully freedom again, or Russia Reloaded. The pigs in charge for sure won’t leave anything willingly, you have to hang them by the feet (in a Mussolinian way I mean) if you want to break out of it… Any day spent whining and protesting peacefully is one day closer to the end of democracy and one day less they have to really fight. The moment democracy is being shit on is not on the next Election Day, it’s right now.
Yep, I also have a feeling they are singling out weak targets to appear strong, nationally and internationally: blackmail Ukraine, plan luxury resorts in Gaza, kill unarmed people unprovoked, kidnap the head of one of the weakest states on earth, threaten a starving country (Cuba), defund universities and humanitarian organizations.
They can be seen kneeling when Putin offers a shoe to polish and when they have to play the victim of hostile trade.
Sorry for going on a tangent. The frustration is real.
Dear Amis, it looks more and more likely that you will have to kill and get killed to come out of this fucked up situation you put yourselves and the world into. I’m just hoping Central Europe will be - for once - spared from the violence we will unfortunately see in the next decades, as there is where my lazy ass sits…
How do I vote for you? Such compelling arguments!
I don’t think global order has ever really existed.
I think he fears death a lot, which brings him to splatter his name everywhere he gets to. Many chances to piss on it for the next generations!
Not the Onion?
I learned it the hard way when I wanted to trade a platinum memorial coin my grandparents gifted me as investment when I was born: guess what, my brother has the gold one :D
You would think that the pig, fixated as he is with money, would know that gold is much more valuable than platinum? Pointing out the important things here, thank me please…
One thing that’s really clunky is checking the list of followers and followed accounts: depending on which instance is each account, these lists are either incomplete or empty. I don’t know if I do something wrong, but I was trying to get up to speed with Mastodon by discovering interesting accounts to follow- which is not trivial - and found the aforementioned problem. I use a third party app and various web front ends, including the “official” ones (you are forced to when you look for the list of followed/followers)
Yes I get it and agree: they are in a position where they can bully others the way they are doing. It’s not their role but they can because they have leverage. It’s a one bullet thing, though: burning these many bridges will collapse their global presence in the long run. But for now, they act and do as they wish, because old allies still need them direly.
If it would be so easy… the hard reality is that Ukraine needs US support and Europe is not enough (due to economic challenges and internal disagreements). We are at the mercy of the government of a very rich country with a global military infrastructure that was our most important ally, but now betrayed any long standing commitment because they went crazy (+russian venom worked well with the thin witted US population)
I for sure don’t know a lot :) I don’t see the connection to the instance I created my account on, though.
So, the answer to my question is…?
EDIT: ooooh, ok checked your post history. Won’t waste any more second trying to get a civil exchange with you ;)
So it’s like local slang or does it have the religious connotation it suggests?
12 people were martyred in the blast
What!?
I have the feeling you’re not really reading what I’m writing, you want to clash instead of discuss, but I’ll go on: I fully agree that taking him in custody and pressuring him to close unwanted channels is wrong and can deter startups and investments in the social network field in Europe, but Russia is a real threat and they are using all the tools possible to manipulate opinion (in Moldova for example) and create chaos. So pretty understandable that the French tried it. But he puts it like Europe and Russia are on the same level of media and chat control, and they are not. Nonetheless, there is a drift in that direction and we should uphold the free speech rights. All in all, I welcome his message!
That’s golden 😂
