“police arrest man who is bleeding to death because the stabber claimed he was racist”
its literally impossible to satirize the UK anymore. even the most extreme, hamfisted memes are just real things that actually happen now
what the fuck is happening in the UK?!
an 18yo kid was stabbed four times by a fellow british* man "Vikrum Digwa" who was openly carrying an 8 inch blade in public (which is illegal in the UK, but under the new racial laws only one ethnic group is allowed to do) chased down when he tried to escape, stabbed again, but since the gentleman claimed henry did one of the worst crimes one can commit in the west, doing a racism, the police put the bleeding kid in handcuffs and let him die on the pavement
what the fuck?!
But Gabriel gets to clatter and block the goalkeeper every set piece and game.
Bullshit. Rigged league. PGMOL title.
Disgusting. Absolutely disgusting league. Fucking bullshit.
I’m noticing a lot of foreigners who seem to not understand why we’d risk hundreds of lives, spend millions of dollars, and sacrifice several aircraft to rescue one guy. And the reason they don’t understand is also the reason people can’t be made American by a piece of paper.
The US just ran the most effective energy siege in modern history, and most Americans don’t even know it’s happening.
January: the US removes Maduro from Venezuela, cutting off Cuba’s primary oil lifeline of 100,000 barrels per day. Same month, Trump warns tariffs on any country that sells Cuba oil. Mexico slashes deliveries 73%. Russia sends two symbolic tanker loads all year.
Result: zero oil tankers have reached Cuba since January 9th.
Cuba consumes about 112,000 barrels of oil per day. It produces 30,000 domestically. That 82,000 barrel daily gap is now unfilled, and the effects are cascading through every layer of Cuban society.
The grid collapsed March 4. Collapsed again March 16. Collapsed again March 21. Three total nationwide blackouts in three weeks, each leaving all 11 million people without power for days.
Here’s what “totally dark” actually means on the ground. Hospitals canceling surgeries. Refrigerators dying, so families buy food daily because nothing keeps. Water pumps shut off, meaning no running water in homes. A woman in Havana told AP her refrigerator broke from voltage surges, then said if power doesn’t return, her family can’t get water. People cooking with firewood in their apartments. Provinces outside Havana getting two to four hours of electricity per day. Highways empty because there’s no fuel for cars.
Cuba’s thermoelectric plants were built in the Soviet era and run on heavy fuel oil whose sulfur content corrodes the equipment from the inside. The country can’t import spare parts because it has no hard currency and sanctions block the supply chain. One professor at American University called the technicians keeping the grid alive “magicians” given what they’re working with.
The strategy is precise. Block the oil, remove the ally who supplied it, threaten tariffs on anyone who fills the gap, and let physics do the rest. Trump told reporters after a previous grid collapse that he’d soon have “the honor of taking Cuba.”
Hours before the March 16 blackout, Cuba announced it would allow foreign investment for the first time in 65 years. A government abandoning a core economic principle the same week its grid collapses three times isn’t reform. That’s leverage working exactly as designed.
Two Russian shadow fleet tankers are expected late March. Enough diesel for a couple weeks. That’s the lifeline for 11 million people.
NEW - Rubio says Europe and U.S. belong together bound by "centuries of shared history, Christian faith, culture, heritage, language, ancestry" and that since WW2 mistakes have been made: outsourcing "our sovereignty to international institutions," imposing energy policies that impoverish our people "to appease a climate cult," and opening doors to mass migration "that threatens the cohesion of our societies, the continuity of our culture, and the future of our people... we owe it to our people to face those facts and to move forward to rebuild."
