wtf is this, Ukrainians are putting 8 hours burning warehouses in 4K: ASMR healing videos

it’s a shame what the uk is doing with ai and space. we pioneered this stuff. turing invented the entire field of computing here. deepmind was built in london, sold to google. arm designs the chips in every phone on earth, sold to softbank.

and space is worse. we cancelled our rocket programme three months before it successfully reached orbit. let the team launch anyway since the rocket was already in australia. it worked. we went home. we’re the only country ever to build launch capability and then give it up. the satellite is still up there.

at some point we stopped taking moon shots. decided leading in ai, space, computing wasn’t for us, and put everything into making the state as big as possible instead. completely focused on the wrong things

Another ship just left Ireland to russia filled with raw materials and the Irish prime minister @MichealMartinTD just arrived in Kyiv. If you’re a journalist here doing an interview with him then ask him about this. His team are too afraid to speak to me.

👀 Did you notice? Nico Williams only reached the ball because Nahuel Molina's shove carried him into it... and it ended up becoming the assist.

Oh the irony... 😆

No me había fijado que Nico Williams alcanza a dar la asistencia gracias al empujón que le da Nahuel Molina.

I wasn’t there, however this guy was:

"I’d like to put the record straight, because I was there.

People often forget how the Argentine troops were treated after the Falklands War. We treated their wounded, and many would not have survived without the medical care they received. They were fed, and their officers were even allowed to keep their sidearms for their own safety.

After facing each other in battle, that wasn’t easy, but it was the right thing to do.

They were fed, cared for, and many were transported home on Canberra. We also cleaned up the mess that had been left behind. There was no complaining—we just got on with the job.

Many of the Argentine troops were exhausted and relieved to be going home after experiencing the reality of war. They were defeated and demoralised, and many couldn’t even look you in the eye.

Many of those young soldiers were more afraid of their own officers and the military junta than they were of us. They had been sent into an impossible situation by leaders who would never share their hardships.

The Falklands’ climate and terrain are brutal, and the weather is unforgiving. I saw young men who were hungry, frightened, dirty, wet and cold, longing to be back with their families in Argentina. Many I spoke to, while sharing hot drinks and sweets, told me they never wanted to be there in the first place.

So before anyone starts abusing me, my family or my brothers-in-arms, remember this: we were there. We experienced the full cycle of war, and we also witnessed the immense relief of the Falkland Islanders when the invaders finally left.

To those in Argentina who still believe the stories told by defeated generals, I’d simply say this: many of us were there, and we know what happened. Don’t confuse propaganda with the reality witnessed by those who fought and those who surrendered.

The war is over. Britain won. History cannot be changed. It’s time to stop reliving old arguments and instead focus on building a better future for the people of Argentina rather than making repeated claims over the Falkland Islands.

As my grandmother used to say, “Children should be seen and not heard.” Sometimes it’s wiser to listen to those who were actually there.

War tests not only courage in battle, but also humanity in victory. I am proud that we showed both.

Feel free to share and comment “war is not a political football “ maybe you should try it sometime it’s not advisable

Lives broken families destroyed

Respect to those lost to war and those who are still fighting a war long ago."

@IonaItalia What a turbo sound thread!

@ThePushbackHQ @Fred_Mills @TheB1M Or Teddy Roosevelt - speak softly and carry a big stick (time to reinvest in our navy!)

@ThePushbackHQ @Fred_Mills @TheB1M Michelle Obama said it best - when they go low, go high! No need to sink to that level

Saw it all. They do themselves no favours - X autotranslate helpfully shows the rest of Latin America were rooting for us. Which is why being sore losers is self-defeating - Norway and Mexico will have a lot of international support in future tournaments and we should too - if we’re not sour now

[Tom Walker @tomwalker196883]

@BasilTheGreat Sore losing is unbecoming. They were the better team.
