these are almost identical to the talking points Putin used to gobble up parts of Ukraine in 2014 btw
Trump: "We are dealing with a lot of people from Greenland that would like to see something happen with respect to being properly protected and properly taken care of. They're calling us, we're not calling them."

Joe Rogan has Ian Carroll, a literal Neo Nazi, on his show today.

Before you respond glibly with “what’s new?”

A big difference between someone who believes in some racist ideology and a Neo Nazi who spreads most dangerous rhetoric/conspiracies.

Neither ok — but Neo Nazis are much more dangerous.

This is math a seven year old can do. The best intelligence in the world placed the number of Hamas fighters at around 20,000. Israel has killed more than 20 times that number. The IDF is a highly trained force ruling out negligence on this level. Ergo, this is a massive, calculated war crime.
'Of 200 bodies, only 10 were confirmed as Hamas members': IDF soldiers who served in Gaza tell Haaretz that anyone who crosses an imaginary line in the contested Neztarim corridor is shot to death, with every Palestinian casualty counting as a terrorist – even if they were just a child”

The correct response to this from all levels of government in all countries ought to be, and I quote:

Toronto's best hope is that they give the removal work to Metrolinx. It will take 12 years to plan and design, and the cost will grow to $200 million per km and might never be finished.
