“If Roosevelt had told Churchill to sue for peace on any terms with Adolf Hitler and to fork over Britain’s coal reserves to the United States in exchange for no American security guarantees, it might have approximated what Trump did to Zelensky.” www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/o...

I'm also not convinced this was the worst outcome for Zelensky If the definitive split with America is unavoidable and Europe is forced into action, then better do it sooner rather than later and better have Trump lead the break up so that Europe overwhelmingly backs Ukraine

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II. Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

This is exactly the same playbook as Lyme pseudoscience. Exploit vulnerable people with real symptoms and sell them unproven and ineffective solutions, many of which are actually dangerous (in addition to the forgoing medical care bit)

58 measles cases on Tuesday is now more than 90. Measles is THE most contagious illness. A infected person can infect 18 others with one exposure. Virus can survive for hours in air. The vaccine is 99% effective, but low vaccine rates allow virus to spread. This was preventable. Read ⬇️⬇️

Trump is unable to process that the world outside the US will refuse to do what he wants and therefore lashes out at whoever he thinks is weakest, whether Canadians, Mexicans or Ukrainians to deflect from how his own incompetence is shattering what remains of US global power.

The outcome of Trump "ending forever war" might be Xi deciding that he will never get a better time to invade Taiwan than with a disinterested moron as POTUS Agent Orange will be confused by the effect this has on the global economy and wonder how it ever happened.

See on üks neist elektri-eelsetest populatsioonikontrolli-seadmetest. Vanasti pidi nad brick-and-mortar tuuliku ehitama, et piirkond elamiskõlbmatuks muuta. Silma riivab ka kaugelt jube koledal kombel, seepärast Aibast vast pilti tegigi, silmad hakkasid kipitama.

This is about as disturbing as it gets. When Trump says he plans to be a dictator, there’s no reason not to believe him.

A chemical is not the sum of its parts. Sodium is a metal at room temperature that explodes in water. Chlorine is gas at room temperature, toxic if inhaled at 400 ppm for 30 min. Together? They make sodium chloride, a chemical that dissolves in water & is essential for biological processes. 1/

If Russia’s economy is doing great actually under mega inflation juche conditions why don’t other countries just do that then. Give up this whole “international trade” nonsense and just raid the pension fund to build 10k tractors from 1976.

It is truly wild that it is estimated that more than 20 million people died of Covid and the prevailing vibe is that the world overreacted. That is an astonishing toll! More people died of Covid in the US than in the Civil War. www.pbs.org/newshour/hea...

To close out 2024: Vaccines save millions of lives every year. Raw milk still isn’t safe. Podcasts aren’t fact-checked. Seed oils don’t cause cancer. Everything is chemicals. The dose makes the poison. Using the word “toxic” without context is a red flag of pseudoscience. 1/

Every one of my Syrian and non-Syrian colleagues is aware of the huge risks surrounding the post-revolutionary order in Syria. But if everyone pre-emptively abandons hope then the world flees into paralysis that fails to encourage many hopeful trends that can be found too.

Given this week’s events Assad's regime is finished & it’s a race to Damascus. The Russian position in Syria, and MENA region writ large is consequently in deep trouble, because of Syria’s importance as a logistics hub for Russian operations. Short thread. 1/
