MODS MODS an official statement from a politician isn’t news 3 tiny paragraphs have to be filtered through a journalist or i can’t read it

the headline being serious editorializing

what do journalists do i wonder

the US has zero credibility sticking to agreements & every two weeks a general or politician openly talks about attacking China. this is going nowhere

can we get a hell yeah?

can they really leverage something like Greece on the second economy of the EU? and how well can capital actually avoid tax while staying within the benefits of the EU? if it were elementary to cart off to a more friendly EU country wouldn’t EU firms be swirling between memberstates after like every election?

this is so farcical, does anyone actually believe these US 4D-chess explanations of how unwavering support of Israel and impudent demands of surrender to the resistance constitute an effort to “defuse” the situation

pouring gas on the fire and screaming “i’m trying to put it out!!!”

Not exactly a large fighting force

they’re not there to hold down a trench

there were not decades of cuts. Obama’s “modernization” efforts were categorically expansion and escalation.

im confused, what is the point of this if the current ballistic missiles on the subs could hit anywhere in China?? cruise v ballistic seems like grifting on a nuclear level, tactically/conventionally there’s a difference but 1,000 nuke exchange it doesnt really matter how they fly everyones dead anyway

DPRK, they dont have income tax

french police are a part of the french military, in a colonial context like this they are 100% an army of occupation

A senior U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Russian forces were not mingling with U.S. troops but were using a separate hanger

would’ve been funnier if they all had to share bunks, but nevertheless kind of funny

yeah if they want to surrender that’s their decision, lmao? people in other countries don’t exist to be pawns of US foreign policy, they actually have their own lives and interests

common good

what is good for the commons about shoveling more unwilling ukrainian bodies at a fight they want to be over

also a deeply unpopular politician on the mainland so it’s also a show of good faith

unlimited genocide on the memory of the white butcher of shanghai and taipei

but doing anything about it now would cost money i could be putting into my next yacht, so its impossible to say whether its good or bad

what does shutting down sex work and bars do unless children are at bars & doing sex work??? classic carceral thinking, making whatever processes/institutions that enabled this more oblique and underground than transparent

urging the french people not to be ‘cowardly’

Israel became the first non-European nation to compete in Eurovision in 1973

huh theres another petrol derivative called naphtha in english lol, shared etymology for related substances
