We now have a playbook for becoming a trillionaire. You make a bunch of businesses that make no money and don’t grow, then you pull in every investor you can find until you run out of people willing to lend you money, then ask the public to give you money. And they just will for some reason.
I do not feel comfortable to say a word in defense of Trump's actions, but he should not be blamed for killing NATO. He has buried it, but the alliance effectively died when Obama in 2014 and, especially, Biden in 2022 refused to unleash its power to stop naked Russian aggression against free Europe -- the only purpose this organization was formed for back in 1949.
"Ukraine proposes a ceasefire and real negotiations. Russia offers a pretense of talks amid missile strikes and the roar of artillery. Putin is a pathological liar, and this open letter will most likely be met with a deceitful response. He does not want to stop the war."
@Ilhan The point of a sanction is to cause friction within the country to permanently lower their economic growth, thus making them less capable of being an enemy in the future. And they are wildly success. Sanctions aren't to stop current wars, they are TO STOP FUTURE WARS.
Waarom de fuck kunnen er gewoon 500.000 Russische touristen naar Europa komen? 500 fucking 1000. En we zitten in sanctpakket 1273!!! Fuck die visas. Fuck die Russische touristen.
More of CNN's false equivalence language. Ukraine is not targeting St. Petersburg, but striking military installations, Russian warships, and oil refineries. It's the Russian terror state that strikes cities and targets civilians. https://t.co/Cy7DgqtkuT
We Are Living in the Dumbest Timeline
Donald Trump just posted a photo of a wind turbine next to birds and captioned it “Killing birds by the millions!”
He posted this without irony.
For every single bird killed by a wind turbine, nuclear and fossil fuel plants kill 2,118 birds. Coal alone kills roughly 7.9 million birds a year in the United States. Wind turbines? Between 140,000 and 328,000. That is not a defence of wind turbines.
We are living in genuinely, historically stupid times. Only rivalled, frankly, by the medieval peasants who blamed the Black Death on cats and promptly killed all the cats, which meant the rats multiplied, which meant more plague.
At least the peasants had the excuse of having no access to information whatsoever.
Trump has the internet. He chose this.
Here you can see the Kremlin’s interference machine in full force: 153k views, 1k shares, and 9k likes in just one hour.
This same machinery was activated when Orbán was campaigning on X in April, and when Tucker Carlson visited Moscow. It inorganically amplifies these accounts on a massive scale.
Since Candace is already a popular podcaster, these numbers may seem perfectly believable. In reality, however, a lot of automated bot farms, paid distribution networks, and influencer networks are sharing these tweets.
This will last until the end of her trip, after which her engagement will return to normal levels.
It all seems organic, but it isn’t.
I’m at the ruZZian embassy in The Hague, guarding the Ukrainian flag for another hour.
I just heard that the ruZZians had some journalists visit recently, and they claimed that we flag guards are being paid by the Dutch government. 😂
Now I can’t wipe the grin off my face ☺️
Terwijl de russen oorlog voeren in Oekraïne🇺🇦 zijn er NL bedrijven die zaken blijven doen in rusland. #Aweta uit Pijnacker zit er nog en was op landbouwbeurs Yugagro. Waarom vertrekt Aweta niet uit rusland en doet alsof er niks aan de hand is. Wie zit er achter Aweta? Een🧵 1/
