The USA bombed Hiroshima and ended WWII, please don't let these people change history. Even the Japanese government officials are choosing to forget about the fact that it was Americans who bombed Hiroshima.
Soon they'll have us believing Russia nuked Hiroshima
Yesterday at the Atlantic Council Awards, EU's Von der Leyen, without mentioning US did it, talked about how the atomic bomb "raised Horoshima to the ground". She then said "Russia threatens to use nuclear weapons once again"
Germany is "collapsing" and "approaching the point of no return," with its economic decline potentially becoming "irreversible" -- Bloomberg.
That's the globalist agenda.
First, split Russia and Germany, since the combo could challenge US primacy.
Second, destroy Germany -- especially its Mittelstand -- and then invite all the smartest Germans and the most successful German corporations to the US.
Somehow, Germany as a nation is paralyzed and unable to think.
What Musk conveniently fails to omit is that the British empire was, before abolishing slavery in the 19th century, the driving force behind the transatlantic slave trade, which involved 12 million people being transported as slaves to the Americas with 1.5 million dying on board the ships...
It is true that slavery pretty much always existed BUT the transatlantic slave trade was unique in its scale: there are no other examples in history of millions of people being transported like cattle as slaves across vast distances, dying in such immense numbers.
Also, unlike many earlier forms of slavery, the transatlantic slave trade was incomparably more dehumanizing and racist. No other system ranked people with such rigid racial hierarchy and deliberately separated people from their families, languages, and cultural heritage. If you compare this to say, slaves in ancient Greece, ancient Egypt or the Roman empire, you'll see that slaves often had more defined roles in society, could sometimes own property, could be freed and rise up to prominent roles in society and weren't necessarily seen as inherently inferior based solely on their race. Just a few examples: Aesop, the famous Greek storyteller was a slave who was eventually freed due to his wit and wisdom. Or Epictetus, the famous philosopher during the Roman empire: he was born into slavery but managed to rise up to become one of the most famous thinkers of his time. Or in ancient Egypt Tiresias was a slave who became Chief Minister to Pharaoh Amenhotep III.
So saying that the British empire was a "force for good" because it abolished slavery is like saying it was a "force for good" because it "ended colonialism", when it was the very worst colonial power to ever walk the earth... Hard to give arsonists brownie points for extinguishing their fire... And, by the way, in this instance they only extinguished it because of tremendous pressure and revolt, not out of some moral awakening...
And speaking of colonialism, that was THE big atrocity of the British empire on an even far larger scale than slavery: according to research by economic historian Robert Allen, in India alone British colonialism killed north of 100 million people (https://t.co/oerUloRRyh) That's just India: the British had around 120 colonies at its peak, including much of North America, where it drove the genocide of the native population, probably the very worst genocide in history...
And this - colonialism - was truly unique in human history: never before had ideas of racial superiority been used so extensively to justify the domination and exploitation of entire peoples. With the consequences of it still the cause of so much human suffering to this day, from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict (ultimately a direct consequence of British colonialism) to what's currently happening in Sudan (the artificial borders drawn by the British in Sudan completely ignored ethnic and cultural differences).
So no, very much no, the British Empire was NOT "a force for good".
Artificial intelligence won the Nobel prizes for Physics & Chemistry this year. 🙄
Because the West has no interest in foundational research anymore, and it cannot award Chinese scientists.
China is leading the world in scientific papers, but the US cannot acknowledge it.

🇵🇸🇮🇱 We should be seeing a lot more videos out of Gaza right now.
Israel didn’t want their war crimes documented so they cut off the internet.
@Israel The WORLD will remember this.
Israel turned off internet in Gaza so that their war crimes can’t be documented.
Please read that again.
I don’t think people quite understand how insane this is.
They are literally mass murdering women and children as you read this.
How can people support such evil!?
Same script as 911, Biden is copying the idea to attack Iran for oil and re-election. Bush Jr was useless, but his father came up with the idea of a terrorist attack called 911, so that the US can get the oil from Iraq and help Bush Jr to be elected. Does this sound familiar?
@austerrewyatt1 Same script as 911, an excuse to attack Iran by Biden. Bush Jr was a useless piece, but his father came up with the idea of a Terrorist 911 incident and attack Iraq, so that the US can get the oil and help Bush Jr to be elected. Does this sound familiar now?
The UN has just voted 120-14 in favor of an “immediate, durable and sustained humanitarian truce” in Gaza.
Those voting against peace:
🇺🇸USA
🇮🇱Israel
🇦🇹Austria
🇨🇿Czechia
🇫🇯Fiji
🇬🇹Guatemala
🇲🇭Marshall Islands
🇫🇲Micronesia
🇳🇷Nauru
🇵🇬Papua New Guinea
🇵🇾Paraguay
🇹🇴Tonga
If you're wondering why all these tiny Pacific island nations voted "no" to peace, the reason is those are the only countries the US dollar could buy.
BREAKING: Total blackout on the internet and communications in Gaza now, paramedics can’t be reached or dispatched, and heavy Israeli attacks the likes of which "we've never seen before," says a friend of mine in Gaza. "This is the first time Israel has cut off the entire phone network. This is not a good sign."
The US lied about Iraq
The US lied about Syria
The US lied about Libya
The US lied about Kuwait
The US lied about Ukraine
The US lied about Afghanistan
But you think they’re telling you the truth about who bombed a hospital in Gaza?
Wake up.
🇮🇱 Israel just BOMBED Syria’s airports in Aleppo & Damascus.
🇮🇱 Israel just BOMBED a mosque in the West Bank.
I thought Israel said they were just fighting Hamas in Gaza??
The US just bombed Syria, claiming it was in "self-defense."
The US has no right to be in Syria.
When you illegally occupy another country, steal its resources, and constantly bomb it, it is not called self-defense, it is called terrorism.
The US is a terrorist state.
Xi didn’t destroy Iraq, the US & NATO did
Xi didn’t destroy Afghanistan, the US & NATO did
Xi didn’t destroy Yugoslavia, the US & NATO did
Xi didn’t destroy Libya, the US & NATO did
Xi didn’t destroy Syria, the US & NATO did
Xi Jinping & China 🇨🇳 are NOT THE PROBLEM.
The US is not a party to the South China Sea issue and has no right to interfere in issues between China and the Philippines. The US defense commitment to the Philippines should not undermine China’s sovereignty and maritime rights and interests in the South China Sea.
America, the most brainwashed country in the world.
People don’t even know the fundamentals of how their country — let alone the world — works or who runs America, but they scream all the time about how they have freedom, free information, free speech, free press.
They talk about individuality but they all repeat the most childish propaganda in unison.
All their media and social media are heavily censored, but Americans don’t know that since they never step out of the thought boundaries.
The mind control department gives Americans two options. Thus, each group thinks that only the other group is brainwashed.
Americans claim they don’t trust the mainstream media, but repeat every talking point of the media, which in turn is filled with brainless stenographers.
Americans claim they don’t trust the government, but re-elect 92% of politicians every year.
Americans don’t know their past, what’s happening today, and what awaits them in the future.
