@KevinOConnor The degree to which Americans fail to understand the delusional nature of their reality will be OVER by September.

Imagine this was Moscow or Beijing? Its not its Holland in the centre of EU values and decency.

Her husband of course reacted and fought the Police.

@MarkJCarney China is not only the present and future it is also not an amoral mass murder machine like our neighbors to the south. So that's good.

@CynicalPublius Give it four months and your entire world view will implode. Energy, famine, energy energy, energy.

@bruce_arthur Lancet study out this spring. Sanctions ALONE 38 million deaths. Indonesia Guernixa levels of death daily for over a decade. This country is the perfect spiritual heir to the Nazis. Can you say Paperclip?

[Jeff Berg @CaringIsCool]

@bruce_arthur Biden a genocide. Obama turned the richest country in Africa into an open air slave market. Bush jr. midwifed torture and panopticon surveillance. Clinton 500,000 dead Iraqi children was worth the price. Reagan turned UNESCO award winning Nicaragua into 50% brain stunted babies.

@TFL1728 @shipwreckedcrew Along with Luongointouchwithrealirycunt......though the last bit will always be true as long as it's not affectionate.

Norway and the UK drilled the same North Sea.

🇳🇴Norway got $2 trillion.
🇬🇧The UK got tax cuts.

Same basin,Same era.... Completely different outcomes.

Norway captured $30 per barrel in government revenue. The UK captured $11.

That gap, compounded over 50 years of production, is the entire difference.

Norway's model was simple: tax heavily (78% marginal rate), take direct equity stakes in fields via the SDFI, own part of Equinor, and put everything surplus into a fund invested abroad.

The Government Pension Fund Global now holds over $2 trillion in assets.
That's $390,000 per Norwegian citizen about 1.5% of all listed equities on earth.

The fiscal rule: only spend the 3% annual real return. Never touch the principal.

The UK started producing earlier, at lower prices, with a lower tax rate (40%) and no saving mechanism.

North Sea revenues flowed straight into the general budget.

Economists estimate the UK missed out on roughly £400 billion compared to a Norwegian style regime.

The windfall largely financed tax cuts in the 1980s rather than a fund.

Where things stand in 2026?

Norway's petroleum sector will generate $63 bn in net cash flow this year alone feeding a fund already large enough to cover 10-15% of the national budget from returns alone.

The UK is a net energy importer.
Since 2021 it has paid countries like Norway more than £100 billion for gas.

One country treated oil as a finite resource to convert into permanent financial wealth.

The other treated it as income.

Where is the media coverage or condemnation from world leaders?

Why is Israeli terrorism met with silence?

[Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane]

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are currently attacking the village of Al-Mughayyir in the West Bank, burning olive fields and attempting to set fire to homes with families inside.

Residents are urgently calling for help from nearby villages to stop the attack.

[Jeff Berg @CaringIsCool]

@MarkJCarney The US has been bombing Iranian powerplants, and before that Iraqi power plants for a generation. So, unless your desire is to undermine the West to the 'other' 7 billion, STFU.

[Jeff Berg @CaringIsCool]

@SenTedCruz Your country is a mass murder starvation machine. Lancet study: US sanctions. 38 million deaths. That's before bullets, bombs, and all the killing your proxies have done.

@EYakoby Holocaust denial and dog rape. Who does that remind me of?

[Yves Engler @EnglerYves]

Irwin Cotler was a significant contributor to report & Canadian government helped fund group behind rehashing of mass rape hoax. Globe & Mail & other Canadian outlets have lapped it up

[Riley Donovan @valdombre]

First airports, now ports. How did we go from Canada "is not for sale" to literally selling off our infrastructure?

@MelnykAndrij Wanna bet?

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

The vast majority of the world views America's war in Iraq as a major failure. It destabilized the region, spread radicalism, and gave birth to ISIS.

But when John Bolton casts it as a success, he is not lying. He just has a different metric of success.

It achieved the key thing Bolton and his ilk aimed for: Iraq was eliminated from the regional chessboard as a major player that could project power and challenge the US or Israel.

We see evidence of that today, as Israel built a secret base in Iraq during the Iran war to attack Iran.

That is, 20 years later, the Iraq war has still left Iraq in such a weak state that Israel can willy-nilly set up secret bases on its territory to attack other countries.

It was never about human rights or democracy.
