Too on point not to share, “Aussie reply to Trump rant about NATO not being there for us.
Mate. You run a country with 600,000 homeless people sleeping on the street tonight. A country where 40% of adults can't cover a $400 emergency without borrowing money. A country where insulin costs more than a car payment and people are rationing it to survive. A country where medical debt is the number 1 cause of bankruptcy. A country where women are dying in hospital car parks because doctors are too scared of abortion laws to treat a miscarriage.
You lock up more of your own citizens than any nation on earth. More than China. More than Russia. More than North Korea. The land of the free has 2 million people in cages, and a quarter of them haven't even been convicted of anything. They're just too poor to make bail.
Your life expectancy is going backwards. You're the only developed nation where that's happening. Your infant mortality rate is worse than Cuba's. Your kids do active shooter drills between maths and English while you sell the gunmaker's stock to your mates.
Your minimum wage hasn't moved in 15 years. You've got teachers working 2 jobs and veterans sleeping under bridges and you just spent a trillion dollars flattening a country that didn't attack you.
And you’ve got a convicted felon, adjudicating raping, paedophile protecting, porn star shagging insurrectionist running the biggest dumpster fire war campaign since the Taliban thanked you very much for losing again.
And you're calling Greenland poorly run?
Greenland has universal healthcare. Free education. One of the lowest incarceration rates in the world. Nobody goes bankrupt there because they got sick. Nobody dies in a waiting room because their insurance said no.
"NATO wasn't there when we needed them." When exactly was that, champ? September 11? Because NATO invoked Article 5 for the first and only time in history FOR YOU. Soldiers from dozens of countries deployed, fought, bled, and died in Afghanistan FOR YOU. Australia wasn't even in NATO and we still showed up. For 20 years.
And you pulled out at 2am without telling anyone and left them to deal with the mess.
So maybe before you start calling other countries poorly run, have a look at your own backyard, you spray-tanned aluminium siding salesman. The only thing poorly run in this picture is your fucking mouth. Credit (borrowed from) Jim Scroggins - original author 📷 unknown”
I've taught European history for 30 years. Americans have always asked me how the Holocaust was possible, how Germans could have enabled a madman reveling in mass murder to carry out his plans. Now we can see in real time how this is enabled; now we have front-row seats.
Bruce Springsteen on Trump: “I couldn't care less what he thinks about me. He's the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he'd be consigned to the trash heap of history."
RETWEET if you stand with @Springsteen!
Harrison Ford on Donald Trump: "I don’t know of a greater criminal in history. He doesn’t have any policies, he has whims.”
RETWEET if you stand with Harrison Ford against Donald Trump!
No competence. No foresight. No strategy.
Just a reckless, narcissistic pedophile who ignited a war in the Middle East and now finds the world refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz.
The region burns. Global chaos spreads. Trump stands isolated.
There was never a plan.
Trump says since "the US helped NATO with Ukraine," NATO should help the US with Iran.
He forgot to mention that it was Biden who sent the aid, while Trump has only complained about this and actually only made things more difficult for Ukraine.
He's such an dishonest hack.
BREAKING: Trump claims that other nations should keep the Strait of Hormuz open and maybe we should not even be there…
Trump: "Maybe we shouldn't be there at all. We have a lot of oil."
We started this war.
We caused the price of oil to spike globally.
We caused what may end up being a global recession.
But the world should be the ones to fix it.
MORON.
Det sætter jeg fokus på i et debatindlæg i Altinget. For hvis man vil fastholde og rekruttere medarbejdere i Forsvaret, så er løsningen: højere løn til sergenter og konstabler.

@Statsmin siger “køb, køb, køb” – og der købes materiel for milliarder til @forsvaretdk .

Vi har mærket problemerne med personalemangel i Forsvaret i årevis. Det ultimative våben til at fastholde folk er bedre lønvilkår – og det er nødvendigt, for uden mandskab er alle de mange investeringer i Hæren intet værd.
