@GeorgianFooty The same happened to the two Belarussian players of CSKA, which is why they didn't play vs Derry

Has been discussed to death but “As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there’s nothing left” is an unbelievable opening line

@slovak_football Take two and burn the rest :)))

[Panoptikon @MustSeeCinema]

@slovak_football Ha! Awesome! It is a unique place indeed :) It's a pity you will miss the Levski game, it will be a celebration on the streets if we win

[Panoptikon @MustSeeCinema]

@slovak_football Careful, we expect 50 000 fans for the home team, the stadium sold out within minutes :)))

[Panoptikon @MustSeeCinema]

@slovak_football You are welcome! Manastirska Magernitsa is great for trying traditional Bulgarian cuisine, it can be a bit pricey, but worth it. Pod Lipite is also very good. A great place that just opened up is Lorenzo's Tex Mex (tacos and etc, the only real ones in BG)

🇧🇬 Levski Sofia are champions of Bulgaria, winning the league title for the first time since the 2008/09 season and for the 27th time overall!

But the big news is the changing of the guard: Ludogorets were targeting a European record 15th consecutive league title this season - but their long reign as champions is over!!!

Jusqu'à ce jour, les marxistes sont incapables de donner une réponse satisfaisante à ce genre de meme. C'est dire la nullité de leur pensée économique.

La valeur n'est pas dans le bien ni dans l'effort fourni pour le produire. Elle est dans l'esprit de celui qui désire ce bien pour résoudre un besoin individuel. La valeur est donc subjective, marginale, contextuelle. Elle n'est pas objective, mesurable, mathématisable.

Ainsi s'écrase lamentablement la théorie marxiste de la valeur travail et les théories classiques de la valeur objective. Si ces théories ont réussi à survivre jusqu'à aujourd'hui, c'est uniquement parce qu'elle donne une caution scientifique à l'interventionnisme étatique, rien d'autre.

Iran was trying to use the North Korean model to get a nuke: create sufficient conventional deterrence so you won’t be challenged in acquiring one (it’s called the Seoul Hostage Problem).

This has been explained over and over since day one.

Everyone claiming shifting goalposts or no imminent threat has been lying.

The reason North Korea was allowed to get nukes is because Seoul (and its 10 million inhabitants) is within artillery and rocket range of North Korea.

During the 1994 nuclear crisis, the Clinton administration seriously considered airstrikes on North Korea’s Yongbyon reactor but backed off precisely because of the artillery threat to Seoul.

Iran was trying to accomplish the same by stockpiling missiles and drones which would have had the same deterrent effect. The proof is what Iran has been doing in the past month: attacking all its neighbors in order to pressure the US to stop attacking it

Beyond this, they were building medium-range ballistic missiles that could reach Paris and London, meaning all of Europe could be held hostage as they built a nuclear bomb.

The reason Iran has not built a nuclear weapon until now is not because it couldn’t, but because it knew it would be attacked and denied this capability.

So by allowing them to continue developing this conventional deterrence, you would be allowing Iran to get a nuclear weapon.

And unlike North Korea, Iran is led by an eschatological death cult

Reagan saw nuclear mutually assured destruction (MAD) as both morally bankrupt (because of the innocent-body-count problem) and dangerously fragile because it assumed flawless rationality between adversaries…this means it only takes one irrational actor to destroy the world.

Working backwards from the conclusion that Iran’s Islamist regime must never have a nuclear weapon, it was necessary for the US to attack Iran to deny it the conventional capacity to hold the entire eastern hemisphere hostage.

Every European leader knows this and behind the scenes praises the US for this action. But they are cowards, held hostage by their own internal Muslim populations, and so adopt these ridiculous public positions.

This was never about Israel. And if your argument is that Iran should be allowed to get a nuclear weapon then you are a fool and a traitor to western civilization…you’re a useful idiot

HOLY MOLY! It's been confirmed that Argentina's GDP grew by 4.4% in 2025, after decades of economic destruction caused by socialist policies.

When Milei took over, nearly 20 million people lived in poverty; today, 5.5 million have been lifted out of it. Extreme poverty alleviation is even better. Over 2.2 million people have been lifted out of that category, from about 5.5 million when Milei took over, down to roughly 3.3 million now.

It turns out that when the government stops giving people welfare, they figure things out and become more productive. It turns out that when you terminate rent control laws, you actually end up with more supply and lower rent prices. Who would've thought?

The usual suspects will undermine this by bringing up the fact that Argentina got a bailout from the United States with the $20 billion currency swap. (1) That has nothing to do with their economic comeback, and (2) The United States is the uncontested hegemon of the Western Hemisphere; it's absolutely our responsibility to make sure our allies are supported. Argentina's currency needed a little help, and we came through for them. The reason the peso got dumped in the first place was that investors thought Milei's party was going to lose the midterms. The currency support program was temporary, and Argentina already paid it all back in full (they only used $2.5 billion). It also generated profit for the U.S. Treasury. It was excellent business by Scott Bessent and Luis Caputo.

Congratulations to Argentina for choosing rugged individualism over the destruction of collectivism.

@CinemaRhymes I usually only rate the films I like, so it's mostly 5-stars...for me and artwork either works, or doesn't. I do 1 or 1/2 star out of spite, only films that I am pissed off for having wasted my time on.

It’s getting to the point where if you’re an Iranian official and Israel hasn’t killed you yet it’s a bit insulting

@jasonhickel Why do Cubans risk their lives on makeshift rafts to flee to America, and never the other way around?
