Puhdas pasifismi on kuriositeetti, joka vetoaa vain kaikkein suojaisimmissa asemissa oleviin henkilöihin. Diktaattorien ja pommikoneiden aikana se on tuhoisa aate, joskaan se ei onneksi vetoa moneen. Kovat päätökset ovat vapauden hinta. Jokseenkin näin ajatteli Orwell 1941.
Nato-äänestyksen tulos on surullinen. Uskon, että eduskunta teki tässä nyt mittaamattoman suuren virheen ja otti askeleen sellaista maailmaa kohti, jota en halua.
Kiitos suoraselkäisestä vastaan äänestämisestä @veronikahonka ja muutama muu vasemmistolainen.
History shows us that having too much debt during an economic downturn leads to a classic, self-reinforcing cycle where:
1) The empire can no longer borrow the money to repay its debts
2) It prints a lot of new money, which devalues the currency and raises inflation
3) Living standards decline, leading to the rise of political extremism
4) Turbulent economic conditions undermine productivity and there is conflict about how to divide the shrinking resources
5) Populist leaders emerge pledging to take control and bring about order
Tänään on vaikea keskittyä. Sain aamulla puhelun tytön isältä, tytön unelma oli katsoa Tepsin peli aitiosta ja tavata pelaajia. Toteutettiin se. 3 päivää myöhemmin tyttö nukkui pois. Olkoon tämä muistutus, etenkin esikuville, anna vartti jollekkin, se voi olla viimeinen. #HCTPS
OK, here's a fresh entertaining story from Lithuania, because we all need a good laugh for the sake of sanity.
An anonymous troll tricked a member of Parliament to believe that he was going to dine with Musk 😂
I swear, this plan is on par with the exploding pagers.
Read on...🧵
BREAKING: Trump shuts off intelligence to Ukraine, cutting off data for drones, air attacks, and air defense
This is a clear and direct violation of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994 - in which US gave security guarantee to Ukraine in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and ships
Top contributors in aid for Ukraine/person:
Denmark: 1850€/person
Norway: 1520€/person
Netherlands: 744€/person
Finland: 700€/person
Sweden: 610€/person
Then there's USA: 196€/person
Mah tax money! 😭
This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.
This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.
HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspaper could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
Ukraine is Europe!
We stand by Ukraine.
We will step up our support to Ukraine so that they can continue to fight back the agressor.
Today, it became clear that the free world needs a new leader. It’s up to us, Europeans, to take this challenge.
Trump berates Zelensky, the leader of a democratic country courageously fighting Russian imperialism, while he allies himself with Putin, a dictator who started the bloodiest European war in 80 years.
Sorry, President Trump. We believe in democracy, not authoritarianism.
Putin started this war. Putin committed war crimes. Putin is the dictator who murdered his opponents. The EU nations have contributed more to Ukraine. Zelensky polls over 50%. Ukraine wants to be part of the West, Putin hates the West. I don’t accept George Orwell’s doublethink.
Mr. President, Ukraine did not “start” this war. Russia launched an unprovoked and brutal invasion claiming hundreds of thousands of lives. The Road to Peace must be built on the Truth.🇺🇸🇺🇦
