To be fair Russia is A bad guy in the war. Unfortunately, there is no good guy in this war, so please don’t take that as a Ukraine/US good type of slop

To show that NATO is toothless.

This is funny to me because the purpose of NATO is to strengthen the American industrial military complex, and the alliance is dangerously close to falling apart because there’s little chance that NATO backs up Poland

When I was a kid I had a newspaper delivery job. I pocketed the money and hid the newspapers behind a shed. Story felt relevant for some reason

How is Russia doing this war against NATO and actually winning? I know that we’re not seeing NATO bombers going in to flatten Moscow, but there’s also a reason that Ukraine’s not willing to try with expensive equipment. All of our media has been saying how Russia is crap because they haven’t taken over Ukraine, but they won’t try and ask how long Ukraine would have lasted without the constant support from Western countries. It’s just wild to me that Russia can simultaneously be absolutely dog shit AND fighting the supply chain of all of Europe, Canada and the US.

Putin: What if we did a genocide? Trump: sounds cool. What does that mean?

I currently work in property management. I worked on a small highrise that had a 20% vacancy rate, and they weren’t lowering prices. Their strategy seemed to be get a tenant in with an absurd lease length with a bunch of incentives and then make it so unaffordable, they couldn’t move. For instance, no first month rent, and $200 off for the next year, but people were getting water bills in the multiple hundreds for a single month for a 2 bedroom with 2 adults and 2 children.

The precise question asked was: “To what extent are you personally troubled or not troubled by the reports of famine and suffering among the Palestinian population in Gaza?”>

Release the Epstein files

On that other site, I saw people saying it was because a head of the military has reached retirement age and this is a way to keep him… It totally has nothing to do with 200 000 dessertions

It’s actually pretty interesting. The US is a paper tiger. It can’t handle a prolonged war against a middle power like Iran. Even though it’s supposed to be a super power. We’ve also found out that most of their heavy weapons aren’t even suitable outside of the middle east. They weigh too much and get stuck in mud. (happened in Ukraine). They can attack effectively from the sea and that’s it. Every actual general has probably poured over the data from Ukraine, and Iran. I, a casual armchair payer of attention, can see this. The pro’s probably have all sorts of plans now. I’m curious how much the US military leadership is shitting their pants right now. The conflict with Iran lasted 12 days. How could they last a month?

Genuinely interesting. Thanks for sharing

Who would have thought 30 years ago, that south Africa would be a moral leader

Oh you mentioned a pet peeve of mine. Russia uses outdated coldwar weapons but the US supplies 40 year old top of the line weapons.

Buddy was elected with an elbows up… And this is his first real diplomatic outcome

If his track record of central banker and his first 2 months continue to hold, he’s going to go down as one of the worst ever

I’ve heard that they’re talking about by 2027. I heard it on a podcast, but the guy seemed to have a lot of bad takes, so I’m not sure how credible it was

Could the information about the letter being handwritten be a subtle way to make Khamenei appear more backwards, or even out of this era?

My thought was that it was a signal that it was coming directly from him.

Tucker Carlson had an analyst that was very negative towards the escalation

That would be a big win for those countries. I’m curious what the implications would you be though. Like what would the US do in response
