Now mainstream media not only admit the disinformation bubble but accuse there detractors of it.
Just how mad does this get?
Stop, we want to get off.

After a few years reforming government departments and agencies, I was ready to do a DOGE, then I saw just how badly everything 'privatised' went and realised my error.
The only exception I saw was a Private Public arrangement, The Planning Portal that remains a shining example, but I'm biased.

Forget the 'gration's , living in cloud cuckoo land ought to be much further up the list.

This is like the Crusaders gold.
Just shows what an extraordinary bunch of clowns the MAGA are. I wonder if they believe in Santa Clause.
Creating MAGA would considered an illegal act if anyone left had the power or the will to act.

Now you know why they're so paranoid about other countries getting into Phones, the Cloud, SaaS, etc.
Why are Europeans in particular, so utterly thick?

Zelensky was and is a hoodlum.
He's now a very rich hoodlum. I wonder how much of Israel he will own along with his mentor.

The thing that corelates most strongly with economic growth is population growth, as long as you don't take steps to mess it up.

Ukraine never did have any say in it.
That's what's so sad about it all.
Now it turns out that Europe is any madder than the yanks , with the UK vying for the lead.
Don't stop a war you're not winning, because the other side might start again. How's that for wisdom?

Why don't you try it first, then you are still free to go to war if Russia suddenly decides it wants to take over Europe.

Just one problem with that story.
The US started the war and dragged Zelensky in, not the other way around.

I was trying to get a dataset of similar when Covid struck and before I could get anything useful they messed up the data structure to make it all incomparable and hide the information forever.

I suspect that the same applies to Trumps fake Purge.
He's just playing along the MAGA, while he and Musk fill an offshore haven with dollars banked in their names.

Dumb American stooges.A Trumpette,
It's a sad sight indeed.

Were Trump not such a despicable specimen, people would be cheering to see some of the most dangerous crime gangs on earth pinned in a corner and disarmed.
We cant measure reality from the internet noise, but f you did you'd get a strange message that makes little sense.

A cautious, respectful relationship with Russia makes sense.
The same with the US is perhaps harder to than some imagine.

Zelensky sold out Ukraine. America has picked the spoils and said goodbye.
Europe helped them and got nothing yet again.

I agree. Once of the greatest economics lessons ever was when Henry ford increased his staffs wages so they could afford to buy a Ford car and they did and Ford increased its growth significantly as well as quality.

Ukraine had nothing until it was made free. It them decided it didn't like 20% where people spoke Russian and began killing them with American assistance. Those 20% voted to be independent.
That's the part that Ukraine is being advised to stop whining about, as previously agreed in a treaty.

"war of aggression"
I'm still waiting to hear about the "war of love" I suppose that'd be NATO.
Gosh, I've surprised myself with my wisdom.
'NATO's war of love'

The Normans were the last ones. Just like USA, 9/11 and Pearl Harbour.
The first KIng was a drunken knight that fell of his horse. When found by woodsmen he claimed he'd driven off the fire-eating dragon and promised to keep them safe. His kin are still there. Grow up,

Trump is just abiding by the treaty that Johnson messed up.

That's quite hard to grasp. What could possibly be going on in his head?
What does that have to do with the job we gave him?
