@Tracysoph Did I forget to mention the child Sharti B was talking about had passed away? She talked about a dead child? Fuck the beef that b*** is gutterbutt
@Tracysoph Do you realize it was in response to the botched lady saying kids aren't off limits and after she called someone else's child a monkey? When she's not black?? Idc if she used that hashtag she's the only black woman out of those 2 be fr
@xLxGxND@AndroAlephus@beyoncegarden@abugarcia1234 My guy, you *just* said that one example is for collecting data (science) and the other is to illicit a negative response (harassment). So... if he isn't collecting any real data... what do you think he is doing?
@xLxGxND@AndroAlephus@beyoncegarden@abugarcia1234 Is there any evidence from the video that the cameraman was collecting data for scientific purposes? Did he explain what organization he is working with (college/university, a media source, an NGO, etc.)?
So just for the record, as someone who reads a lot about 20th century cooking and whose grandmother was an early founder of the Girl Scouts -
There was never an era where this is generally what it meant to make chocolate chip cookies. If it were, you wouldn't have cookies. The
@Kissmycrink77 @MariAvonTrapp@end3of6days9 Do you know this lady personally? Do you know if she got grants or tax breaks? What do the words "private business" mean to you? Do you understand the difference between being in a grocery store vs being in a public park? Do you live in any society whatsoever?
The president cannot unilaterally withdraw from NATO. He's a term-limited lame duck. It's not happening.
But if Europe wants NATO to remain an important & active alliance, they should stop acting like they're not our allies. Allowing overflight is the absolute least they can do.
@stbe84@92huskies@GrapefruitBasil@bonchieredstate@MikeRob22492309@neoavatara Was Iran following international law when its supreme leader said "Death to America" and subsequently funded terrorist organizations around the world to attack it and its allies? This is the folly with Intl Law. Great idea on paper until you have bad-faith actors
@92huskies@GrapefruitBasil@bonchieredstate@MikeRob22492309@neoavatara This is because Argentina wasn't deemed a threat to the greater collective defense of the alliance. US lent it's power anyways. However, Iran is threatening the energy security of the entire world - very much a NATO issue. So, why the reluctance to even provide logistic support?
@92huskies@GrapefruitBasil@bonchieredstate@MikeRob22492309@neoavatara So, why would the war in Iran be any different here? That's the question. This is under the assumption that if Iran were not stopped, it would pose a threat to the greater security of the US & NATO allies by proxy. The only reasonable conclusion is military weakness
@92huskies@GrapefruitBasil@bonchieredstate@MikeRob22492309@neoavatara Firstly: the US did provide the UK with assistance during the Falkland War in terms of sanctions and military hardware (a carrier, if needed). Likewise, NATO countries supported the US logistically during the Iraq war. Not under the guise of NATO, but bc of Alliances
@92huskies@GrapefruitBasil@bonchieredstate@MikeRob22492309@neoavatara The fundamental misunderstanding here I think is in military doctrine: the US maintains that preemptive strikes are defensive vs the Euro view that they aren't. Why wait until the snake bites when you can behead it first? This is primarily why the EU lacks defense and needs NATO
@Dunedain_Knight@TMTLongShort Spain, France, UK, Netherlands, Japan... I mean I can keep going with examples on how soft power IS power. Hard power has led the US into wars in the Middle East it can't win. Same with Russia in Ukraine. Is hard power all that much important anymore?
@doug_barnard@sheewaass If the full might of the US military was turned against it's own people, average citizens would be powerless and likely ask for help from other nations when/where they can get it.
Feeling that you are completely insulated from global conflict is foolish
@itsPopVulture@stoppfeenin This isn't a relationship lmao this is a reality TV show. These people sign contracts and can readp them with their own eyes. Were they mistreated? Sure, but after season 3, you know wtf is going on. Choices were made. Everyone on here is acting dumb for clout
