The least realistic thing here is Trump running.

Thanks. “Clean Coal” is the biggest con since ethanol. “NG is a transition fuel” is also a con but not on the same level.
He’s a “free-breathing absolutist.” He thinks everyone should have a supply of oxygen except the people he personally doesn’t like.
I quite frankly flat out do not understand why people on the left are so against space exploration suddenly
Ever heard the song “whitey on the moon?”
Setting that aside, exploring space is not the same thing as building a company town for the world’s least mentally stable pregnancy fetishist oligarch in an unworldly cold desert where everyone is sure to die.
supporting Israel being an easy and surface-level way to alleviate that guilt.
No doubt reinforced by enormous amounts of hasbara.
Almost as if they’re overcompensating for something. 🤔
This is the result explicit, aggressive and longstanding propaganda by the State of Israel and its foreign agents like AIPAC.
They want there to be no conceptual space between the State of Israel, the Jewish religion, and the Jewish people around the world, so they can turn any criticism of Israel into antisemitism and therefore a hate crime.
Not secret
Tactical nukes aren’t real. They start an escalation ladder that gets you to global thermonuclear war in a few hours. Using a “tactical nuke” is just laying naked your intent to have things go nuclear while giving your opponent a chance to respond.
During the Cuban Missile Crisis Kennedy wanted to nuke Cuba. The joint chiefs told him that if he wanted to do that he would also have to nuke Russia in a massive fully committed first strike.
It’s just a suggestion.
Quebec is also where I learned the phrase “No cop, no stop.”
But I think they were arrested for not saying arrêt.
The article is rank propaganda. Coming from a supposed middle eastern journal it’s pretty shameful that it didn’t even mention what China is doing to Muslims in Xinjiang. Besides that, China is in taking aggressive actions against many of its neighbors, not just Taiwan but also the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, etc. Plus the wolf warrior stuff against Australia, South Korea and the like. Not to mention the illegal armed fishing fleet operations in the territorial waters of smaller nations around the world.
In comparison, the USA illegally invaded Iraq and Afghanistan, has meddled in the internal affairs of many Latin American countries, and supports Israel.
One could certainly argue that America’s crimes are worse on the margin, but the idea that one supports a rules-based order and the other does not is laughable. Both violate international rules and laws continuously whenever it suits them and they can get away with it.
Some of them are flying the Confederate flag in Alberta!
Historically Europe (and the British Empire) sided with the confederacy because they saw a united USA as a potential industrial rival, whereas the south was more of a resource colony. Interestingly there was a major class divide in Europe where the working classes were anti-slavery and therefore anti-confederate wheras the upper classes saw the confederate cause being in their interest. There’s a book about this called A Cause for All Nations by Don Doyle.
My understanding is that nowadays the confederate flag is used by people outside the USA who are on the fascist end of the spectrum for whom Nazi or fascist symbols are too extreme (or just illegal) in their countries.
He’s made his bed with the Silicon Valley elite and now he has to do their unpopular things. All that money comes with strings.
It’s enjoyable watching it happen to somebody I don’t like for once.
If they said they didn’t find any, then everyone would know it was a whitewash. So they decided to “find” a small amount and then pat themselves on the back.
Reality is about to get all melty and people are gonna have six fingers.
But Obama said don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the horrible.
I have a lot of nostalgia for good old-fashioned goldbug grifters.
