Against facism and for renewable and nuclear energy. Slava Ukraine, give all weapons, para bellum. Protect and care for animals, eat them less. Be a smart human
@P_Kallioniemi When people start treating other people like mindless/controlled by others/NPCs, it is the old spectre of dehumanisation done so many times before in the interest of suppression/slavery/genocide.
The U.S. has been significantly weakened by the war with Iran.
This administration depleted our missile defenses, drained our oil reserves, sacrificed our men & women, inflated the price of consumer goods, increased our debt, and neglected our domestic needsโฆ
all for Israel.
๐จ Itโs time for the US to give Ukraine access to Patriot Missiles ๐จ
After running to the bomb shelter in Ukraine myself several times since being here due to Russian ballistic missiles being launched toward my direction, after feeling my chest tighten as I was woken up in the middle of the night by air raid alarms nearly every night, and after watching the devastation and destruction of American businesses in Ukraine by Russian Ballistic missiles, it is my opinion that the United States should give Ukraine more Patriot missiles.
Patriots are purely defensive systems that intercept Russian ballistic missiles, cruise missiles, and drones targeting Ukrainian cities, power plants, and civilians. They save lives, protect critical infrastructure, and force Russia to expend expensive munitions for diminished results, without enabling Ukrainian strikes into Russia or putting American troops at risk.
This support also counters a direct threat to Americans. According to US officials and Ukrainian intelligence, Russia has provided Iran with targeting intelligence (including locations of US warships, aircraft, and forces in the Middle East) to enable Iranian attacks. Ukrainian intelligence has further documented Russian satellite imagery of US bases in the Gulf being shared with Tehran, correlating with strikes that have killed American service members. Russia and Iranโs deepening military partnership (drones, tech, and now targeting data) links the two fronts: degrading Russiaโs war machine in Ukraine reduces its capacity to arm and assist Iran in operations that kill US soldiers. Russia is doing this as Iran is actively plotting to assassinate President Trump and other Americans who support bombing the IRGC. Russia has even amplified some of those assassination threats by Iran.
Providing Patriots is low-risk leverage that defends Ukrainian civilians, raises the cost of Russian aggression, and weakens an axis of evil already costing American lives.โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The Ukrainians are willing to shed their blood so Amercians donโt have to.
If Ukraine falls, Russia will replicate what they have done here in other parts of Europe and eventually the US. We have an opportunity now to save more lives, especially future American lives.
Patriot missiles in Ukraine will slow down the spread of multipolarity.
I hope Ukraine is given Patriot Missiles. I never thought I would ever say this, but I truly believe this is urgent and necessary.
@POTUS@DeptofWar please donโt allow Russian aggression to further expand. Their nonstop propaganda is already a form of cognitive digital warfare that is destabilizing cohesion in America.
What will they do next if they arenโt opposed?
Iโve just seen a post from yet another man who thinks my position has shifted since I wrote my 2020 essay about gender identity ideology and the consequent clash of rights https://t.co/pasxBD1Hzl
For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by every word I wrote then. For instance: โwoman isnโt a costume.โ If it surprises you that I say men donโt become women by wearing make up and dresses, you didnโt understand the essay. Iโve been crystal clear all along that I believe people are free to live and present themselves as the opposite sex if thatโs what feels comfortable and authentic TO THEM. This appears to have been interpreted (most often, tellingly, by men) as โand it naturally follows that I, as a woman, will validate a manโs belief that he is now, to all intents and purposes, the same sex as me, and I will use only the speech he deems appropriate and will be very careful to protect his sensitive ego, no matter the cost to myself in pretending to believe a falsehood, or the loss of my own rights due to this pretence.โ
Dress as you like within normal bounds of situational decency, wear lipstick, sequins and a beard if you want, call yourself whatever you like, have sex with any consenting adult you please: I wish you health, happiness and safety. What you donโt get is the power to compel my speech and belief.
When I call a man a man, I am speaking verifiable truth. It is essential to be able to accurately name sex when discussing fair sport, facilities and services for women and girls and the right of gay people not to be demonised for their same-sex attraction. In years to come, a lot of useful idiots are going to awake to the fact that theyโve been complicit in enormous harm done to women, girls, gay people who stood against the insanity, and some extremely vulnerable young people. I donโt doubt weโll hear a lot of, โI thought I was just being kind.โ Such individuals, especially those in positions of power, should be asked why they never had anything to say about the loud, public, widespread unkindness directed against those who refused to adopt their fashionable, elitist beliefs, eg, the detransitioners being bullied and vilified by former โalliesโ, the whistleblowers who tried to stop an unregulated experiment on troubled children, the women who lost their careers and livelihoods by standing up for all womenโs rights.
Some people appear to believe it a worse crime for a woman to call a man a man than for trans activists to call loudly and publicly for the assault and assassination of all women who refuse to bend the knee. I have never wished violence or any other kind of harm on a trans-identified person, but, like many other people whoโve defended womenโs and girlsโ rights over the past few years, I have received thousands of threats of death, rape and torture. The wilful blindness of those who bleat โboth sidesโ will rightly be judged harshly in times to come.
TL;DR Trans women arenโt women, and if that hurts your feelings, be grateful you live in a society where you are just as free to espouse gender ideology as I am to speak the truth. As Orwell said: โFreedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.โ
A pantomine horse isnโt a horse.
An open secret isnโt a secret.
A hot dog isnโt a dog.
A shrinking violet isnโt a violet.
Crowโs feet arenโt feet.
Fair gameโs not a game.
Trans women arenโt women.
He didnโt accuse Jews of genocide, he accused Israel of genocide, which is what Israeli human right groups have done too.
Youโre an antisemite if youโre conflating Israel with all Jews.
"Spare me the humiliation theory. Russia was not humiliated after the Cold War. It was indulged โ and it read every kindness as weakness, every gift as tribute. The grievance was never mistreatment. The grievance was lost dominion."
On Friday the Government published a terse 450 word summary of its long awaited report into Aughinish Alumina.
It was light on both detail and definitive conclusions
We obtained the full 51 page report. Read what's being kept hidden in Saturday's Irish Times
You are confusing. Russia is a terrorist genocidal state. It invaded Ukraine and bombs civilians.
Israel is doing exactly the same. I always supported Israel up until they became genocidal. Israel also strongly supports Russia even now.
They want the same thing. Chaos and weak states around them. They bomb civilians with impunity. They vote against UN humanitarian resolutions.
Mixing Ukraine and Israel makes you sound like a Russian backdoor propagandist laying the ground for switch and baits.
Focus on Ukraine if you want to help them. And see Israel for what it is: A terrorist state like Russia.
