@dap1955@Sorelle_Arduino I love this! I often switch back and forth on my phone from kindle to maps, and I go to street view and "drive" myself around the locations in the books.
@mazzenilsson I had really thought that Glenn Greenwald made a good case that it wasn't him who outed the men, he had redacted their names, and the NYT or whoever published it had un-redacted the names. I admit I like Glenn as well as John
🚨President Putin’s Message to the German Government and the German People
This is how the coup de grâce is delivered – without weapons, verbally…
“We don’t want to attack you! Why would we? Those times are long gone! Anyone who is still in their right mind and can think clearly understands that.
First:
You already have national debt amounting to 2.5 trillion euros, and no serious economist has any idea how you ever plan to pay that back.
And now you want to take on another 1 trillion euros to arm yourselves against us.
Do you want the Russian people to foot that bill? Never!
Second: Your country is teeming with millions of migrants who cost you 50 billion euros a year. Should the Russian people be held accountable for that?
Third: A considerable portion of your population is so deranged that they believe they can influence the climate by cycling and eating insects. Perhaps this massive brain damage could be fixed, but that
would cost us something too.” a lot.
Fourth: – Your education system was once exemplary. Now, in many classrooms, hardly any teaching takes place anymore because almost no one speaks German.
Fifth: – Your infrastructure is crumbling, and you can’t keep up with the repairs.
Sixth: – Your railways were once the pride of the entire world. Now your trains run like they do in India.
Seventh: – We don’t need your famous engineers. During the sanctions, we learned that we can get by without them. But if we do need them after all, we’ll turn to China. There they’re not only cheaper but
also better.
Eighth: – You have neither raw materials nor energy sources. So why should we conquer your country? To solve problems we wouldn’t even have otherwise? Realistically speaking: Even if you called us,
surrendered, and raised white flags, we still wouldn’t come!
@RyLiberty The immigrants in Europe came mostly because we bombed and destroyed their countries. We cut the beating heart out of Latin America and I don't know where they go now I w
With the power to make decisive & irrevocable decisions, it is indispensable for leaders to understand [each other]. [My meeting with Khrushchev] is an expression of our intention to leave no path to peace unexplored, to neglect no opportunity to ease world tensions. – JFK
@newstart_2024 Alcoholism is in the genes. There is no "finding one's limits" for those of us born alkies. There is no limit, even at age 12. From then on you are on the road to hell until you stop completely.
@EuropeanPowell This all just sounds like many microcosms of the US. Here we are governed by corporations, voting doesn't accomplish anything, and all we can do is leave.
@Donna_Rachel_ Here in the USA, it would be perfectly reasonable to say "they crossed many county lines" though more frequently you hear "crossing state lines with a captive is a major felony".
@SketchesbyBoze I hope she eventually finds her way to St John's College in Santa Fe, NM. We read, and translated from the Ancient Greek, Homer in freshman year.
