History rhymes in interesting times
@nogaslight.bsky.social
I am a chill enigma wrapped in a tortilla, a Meat Popsicle burrito.
Be kind to eachother. Say no to Fascism.
Self-educated military historian of 50+ years.
Friend of Ukraine.
I fight Climate Crisis like your grand-kid's life depends on it (it does).
Trump is OUT OF TOUCH with US Voters on Europe & Ukraine

80% of voters support collective defense, and 62% view NATO favorably. Only 7% want Russia to win in Ukraine.
When Congress is no longer MAGA dominated (soon), expect better.
Hang on Ukraine.

Perhaps you can find a way to balance the tragedy of losing members of an Endangered species with the celebration of your predictions being vindicated.
To those who care about the twin juggernauts of Great Extinction and Climate Crisis, glee over dead whales is nauseating.

What's worse than fellating a Dick-tator?
Not being allowed to. Hard to blow when the rug's being pulled.
If this statement portends a change in China toward real support for Ukraine, Putin might not be allowed to resume the ceremony.

Butt is one of the English standard wooden cask sizes.
Each had different handling and loading requirements.
Brined meat could have been stored in any of them.
A Butt-Load is 126 Gallons. Literally. LOL.
Pork Butt may have been named for the similarity in proportions.

In this case, Bezos is the Player who defines the Game.
Democracy dies when he buries the lede under Lohan.

Putin laughing spreads his wings...

LOL. Vanity project by world's richest man.
Will peel away some support for Agent Orange among tech-bro MAGAs.
Despised by most of the people who know he exists.
They demonstrate in front of Tesla Dealerships.
He'll find people who will tell him yes and take his money.

"We have not yet begun to fight."

IMO, expect a massive awakening and general resistance.

If you do, we can make you a great deal on an aircraft carrier! It is a "fixer-upper".

Less than 33% voted for him in 2024. If only 70% of them support him *now*, he only represents ~23% of US Voters. Why inflate his support?

It was not their war, yet they stood with us and lost 1/3 of total deaths. Now SecDef thanks them for their loyal friendship (unto death) with this?

Putin doesn't have much to be happy about, but Hegseth gives him aid and comfort.

Lukashenko: people have freedom of choice in Belorussia.
Pretending to answer @bbcstever.bsky.social's question.
(Reminder: He lost the 2020 election. Putin sent Russian troops in to keep his puppet in power. He just "won" a 7th term in 2025 with 87%.)

Insatiable Billionaire undermines the USA, refuses any accountability. "I do what I want."
January 14, 2025 at 4:42 PM
Sadly, the US has been letting these moments pass since 2008. The consequences are being felt directly in Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Belarus, Armenia... and the US.

@general-ben.bsky.social is on target as usual.

Nativity 2024: Just Be Kind.
Whether you say Merry Christmas or something else...

The world feels poisoned against itself, angry and unhappy.
I think the best thing we can each do to push back is to be kind. Respect their human rights and human needs.

I hope that you and yours are happy.
