Still no word from @AmazonMGMStudio on Stargate coming back so we'll just need to remind them we aren't going anywhere.
It's been nearly 20 years since SG1 went off the air....we have patience...
It is frankly embarrassing that a sitting U.S. Vice President is unaware of one of the most elementary facts of World War II. Nazi Germany did not negotiate an end to World War II. The war in Europe ended with Germany’s unconditional surrender after total military defeat and the collapse of the regime in May 1945.
@USAmbassadorGR@Vkikilias@ONEXShipyards Anyone that knows the real story about ONEX knows it is actually a Greek-controlled industrial group that has positioned itself within the American strategic and investment ecosystem. Very smart strategic bridge builders but not purely American in terms of manufacturing.
The sanctions against Russia are so lax that even Putin's cronies are able to buy western jets and expand their luxury lifestyles.

Saturday marked the seventh day of protests over a planned luxury resort in Albania linked to Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. Activists call it the "Flamingo Revolution." They've adopted the pink bird as a symbol of the wildlife they say will be destroyed if the billion-dollar project goes ahead.
Simple questions:
Why do 5 million Palestinians have the "right" to a state, but not 40-60 million freedom-seeking #Kurds?
Why are there endless marches & protests for Palestinians, but not Kurds?
Why is the UN obsessed with Palestinians, but doesn't give a damn about Kurds?

Claims that the Baltic States allow Ukraine to use their airspace are utter nonsense - and Russia knows it.
Moscow’s threats against the Baltic States are not a sign of strength, but of weakness.
Russia is failing on the battlefield in Ukraine and is trying to intimidate us into reducing our support for Ukraine.
The right response is to do the opposite: increase our support to Ukraine and boost Europe’s defences even further.
Multipolarity is a myth of equality that Russia and China sell to the world. In reality, it hands the world over to the strongest, where law and morality bow to force. Weak states become pawns, and the global order is ruled by might alone.
Op-Ed: #IMEC creates an opportunity to think about infrastructure in terms of its physical, intellectual, and historical dimensions.

The U.S. is setting records for fertilizer purchases from Russia
In March, the United States imported more than $240 million worth of Russian fertilizers — the highest level in the history of bilateral trade.
For the quarter, the total reached $564 million, up 37% year-on-year.
Russian fertilizers remain competitive due to cheap natural gas used in production — which keeps prices lower.
Sanctions have also had an unexpected effect: new U.S. tariffs did not hit Russia but affected its competitors, tilting the market in Moscow’s favor.
The situation was further worsened by the crisis in the Middle East. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz pushed many suppliers out of the market, sending fertilizer prices sharply higher.
Against this backdrop, the U.S. is forced to buy from Russia — otherwise the impact on agriculture would be severe.
When is everyone going to start realizing that the manic on again off again war/peace rhetoric is really just insider trading?
And sprinkle in some murder.
Only a select few in the top tax bracket are benefiting from this, and the majority of you ain’t in it.
