The *things* russians are doing: invading a sovereign state, murdering civilians, creating a humanitarian disaster in extreme cold, abducting children, razing towns to the ground, raping, torturing, looting
Witkoff: "The Russians are doing things maybe that people wouldn't give them the credit for doing, and I think it always comes down to your indomitable spirit"

Obligatory reply to cut & paste when the whine about Kosovo. It was a genocide, the international court found it so. As anti imperialists we find this awkward cos we pretend to be against the genocide of Muslims.
Unless it means NATO doing something to stop it. Then we prefer to let them die.

What's pulled CPI up over last 25 years? Basically the cost of services and property. Now look at what's pulled CPI down (image 2). Thanks world! Now, what happens if world stops selling us ever cheaper stuff *and* prices rise to reflect infra catch-up cost (rates) and climate risk (insurance)?

This is one of the biggest stories in America, comparable in scale to what’s happening in Minnesota. The largest social media platform is transferred to Trump’s allies and immediately forbids you from saying anything bad about him. Absolutely totalitarian in nature. No different than China.

Apparently people are surprised that a man whose only friends on the world stage are a KGB agent & a North Korean Stalinist planned to unleash a murderous secret police on his population.
Looking back, there were signs.

Liberalism is a radical idea of universal liberation, even if most of its modern-day adherents are squishy opportunists who are simply echoing what they perceive as the prevailing ideology of their friends
I have come to understand that Will Stancil was always radical, he just wasn’t (likely, still isn’t) radical about the precise thing(s) a lot of us on here wanted him to be radical about.
I’m hearing people freak about a military deployment to Minneapolis but it doesn’t change much. It’s scarier but the same. We still outnumber them 100 to 1. They have more guns than us either way. They can shoot us either way. They’ll probably be easier to find and follow if they’re in a tank.

Been reading this over and over and can't for the life of me understand what he's even trying to say. This is a lot of words to say... nothing.

Just spitballing here, but I think the founders probably wouldn't have approved of a President putting the entirety of a highly militarized federal government on a war footing against a state because he didn't like how they voted in the last election. But I'm sure John Roberts knows what he's doing.
Trump just posted that the "day of reckoning & retribution is coming" in Minnesota.

If I wanted to permanently cripple NATO, divide the USA and help Russia and China, I could think of nothing better than the US using military force to seize Greenland.

The funniest part of the “we need Greenland to defend the Arctic from Russia” argument is that the U.S. already has a far more practical and effective way to limit Russia’s threat, and it is actively choosing not to use it.

I kept saying in 2022 that leaving Pu's anachronistic, age-of-empires conquest to fester, pretending Ru has security concerns rather than imperialist goals, and drawing shallow parallels to the US Iraq war, which made Pu's land grab appear to be less of a watershed, will backfire. It has backfired..

The federal government claimed that the states have no jurisdiction to prosecute murders committed by its agents is the kind of thing the Founders would probably have done a whole entire revolution over
This is bullshit. They absolutely have jurisdiction.
Noem on Minnesota officials: "They have not been cut out. They don't have any jurisdiction in this investigation."

The flood of German transshipments to Russia continues unabated. It's been over three years of this now and this stuff is just deeply shameful. The new government needs to make a decisive break from the past and shut these transshipments down. Not tomorrow. Not next week. Today. No more excuses...
