A peace dividend? Already?

I'll bet, if there was a plebiscite on the subject, most places would get new regimes.
ℹ️ Today, Bloomberg published article in which it was noted that Italy has slowed down NATO's program to purchase American weapons for Ukraine.

🇮🇹🇺🇦 But…

"First of all, we hope that in the coming months, if an agreement is reached, weapons will no longer be needed.

Having a decent publicly funded heath system is a good start. Doctors can have private practices, exclusively.

Their choice. And the privileged who want to pay them.

The Sam Bunkman Fried of the drone industry.

The real secrete is using the feckers to kill people. It encourages 'market growth', eh?
China makes 70% of the world’s drones. Blake Resnick wants to change that. Backed by Sam Altman and Peter Thiel, the Brinc founder is on his way to making his quadcopters the top choice for America’s cops—if only he can get the federal government to ban his primary competitor.

He's "opening the Gaza crossings" so they can leave.

Nothing gets in unapproved.

When the military does it, under orders, it's more than mere murder.
It wasn't a war crime as the US isn't at war. It was cold blooded murder

Banks in the USA and elsewhere, would love to buy gold - rather than T bills. Like they used to.
What does it matter if the gold is staying in Russia? It's still being sold off by the government to cover massive gaps in its budget.

Western governments can borrow to cover budget deficits. Russia has very limited lones of credit.

Thank Gord for Putin.

Without him the poor Zionists would be hurting.

He played his part to the hilt.

The gun person even more so. The new 'takes' on assassinations have obviously 'stifled' any public knowledge of the shootist.

If Putin was a real tyrant he'd have both of them shot.
December 3, 2025 at 10:23 PM
See how he handles adulation?

If they'd had a serious topic on the table, he'd have been listening. They keep that shit to themselves.
The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

"Extorted Zelenskyy"? That 's interesting. Care to say how?

If memory serves, Zelenskyy has 'given' nothing to the USA but repeated visits for extended funding. To Trump he offered a 'Peace Prize' nomination.

That was more like a bribe, than an extortion payment.
Trump divided the country, extorted Zelenskyy, tried to steal an election, incited an insurrection, stole confidential documents and banged a porn star. That’s his legacy. He knows he’s incapable of achieving anything good. He’s hoping his ballroom will remind people of him.

He should have said Mass in the 'Hezbolleh' parts of Lebanon, where Catholic churches were actually destroyed. By Israel.
Thousands of people gathered Tuesday near Beirut’s destroyed port where Pope Leo XIV celebrated a waterfront Mass. It was an extraordinary end to his first international trip as head of the Roman Catholic Church, which he used to deliver a message of peace to a tumultuous region. trib.al/QaoHdq9

They need "Elmer the Safety Elephant". And an appreciation of the rules of the road. They are neither immortal, nor exempt.

I used to bike to school ... never like this.
The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

Which gods accept human sacrifice? That wouldn't wash as 'an excuse' for killing, in any court I could think of.

No matter who's doing the sacrifice.

I'd be tempted to redefine that to 'Fathers' and 'Mothers' - married to each other.

Define "creepy" please. Those spaces reflected the character of the 'nowhere man' who operated them. Except for the dentist's space - on the wall deth masquesof famous hebrew 'dentites'?

Many rich might have their own dental hygenist on staff.
