@elonmusk It all comes back to poverty and cost of living;
This isn't a problem unique to Europe or the west;
East Asia/South America.
There is a direct correlation between birthrates and literacy too; Less educated areas have higher birthrates
@aabadeer@CharlieK_news The average American would gain by getting a criminal off the streets? Isn't that the whole reason behind Republicans supporting ICE raids?
@joeroganhq Onya Joe - keep spreading the divide;
This is exactly what the goal of misinformation and disinformation is; it leads to real world consequences;
You guys forget whether you wear a blue or red shirt, you're all American; You guys are both fight for the same thing...
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge itβs hard evidence, legal rulings, and direct statements from the ROC itself. If youβre still skeptical, ask yourself:
Why is the ROC the only church in Ukraine facing sanctions? Why are its leaders openly supporting Russian war efforts? Why do even Russian defectors confirm it?
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge Ukrainian security services (SBU) have raided multiple ROC-affiliated churches and found pro-Russian propaganda, cash, and materials justifying Russiaβs invasion. In 2022, an ROC priest was arrested for leaking Ukrainian military positions to Russia. - Reuters
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge Ok - here goes:
Patriarch Kirill, the head of the ROC, has publicly blessed Russian troops and framed the war as a holy struggle. In 2022 he claimed Russian soldiers who die in Ukraine will be βcleansed of their sins.β - Source - BBC and AP News
@JDVance Unfortunately that's not how the global supply chain will ever work;
Timber? REE, Cobalt, Graphite, Nickel, Lithium, Bauxite, Tin, Manganese, Phosphates, Chromium, Cesium and Rubidium, Helium. Even if the US could produce these, it would be unfeasible
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge Burisma & the Bidens? This was investigated multiple times, including by Republican-led Senate committees, and no wrongdoing was found linking Biden to corruption.
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge Elections? Ukraine is under martial law, which suspends elections per its constitutionβa law that existed long before this war. Holding a free election while being bombed daily isnβt exactly feasible. Even Abraham Lincoln delayed elections during the Civil War in some states.
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge Citizens grabbed off the streets? No evidence of this happening in Ukraine on any significant scale. Meanwhile, Russia has been documented forcefully conscripting people from occupied territories and even prisons, as reported by Reuters and The Guardian
@QSysmith@marcorubio@zerohedge Independent news? Ukraine has multiple independent media outlets operating in 2025, including Kyiv Independent, Ukrainska Pravda, and Radio Svoboda. Wartime restrictions exist, itβs nothing like Russiaβs complete media suppression, where even calling the war a βwarβ is a crime.
