Dems care about people too much lol

The U.S. honestly just thought sure Ukraine was having a tough time with Shaheds but we’re built different

yeah bro, you legitimately are "too smart" to drive a truck or huck a rifle, we're actually not even gonna draft you because there's basically nowhere we could put you where you wouldn't kill our own guys

That one comment Noah made where he said if there was a draft he'd be wasted as infantry is actually one of the funniest self owns in history

One thing I feel ought to be discussed more is the fact that basically all rural and suburban places in the US are subsidized by cities. They resent cities. They insult cities. They elect politicians who abuse cities. But none of them could survive without cities.

Kharkiv 💔
Today, 9‑year‑old Gordiy was killed together with his mother Olena when a Russian missile struck a residential building.

The tragedy was reported on the page of the Ukrainian Ice Hockey Federation:

“Gordiy was a sincere, kind, and open boy who loved hockey, his team, and training.

It's even more infuriating how many people sincerely believed that Trump 1.0 wasn't that bad because of "adults in the room" but now the adults in the room are Stephen Miller and Pete Hegseth

It's infuriating how many op-eds that say "we never could have predicted this Middle East policy out of Trump 2.0" can be debunked by looking at the Middle East policy of Trump 1.0

Will it help stop Tehran from pursuing nuclear weapons?

No probably not but it would be extremely funny

I think we should do a "Iran Reset" but instead of presenting the Iranians with a ceremonial red button, we give them Pete Hegseth hogtied with a bag over his head

Obama made a deal so that Tehran didn't get a nuke and then the GOP nuked it because they thought they could force Tehran to accept better terms

Ex-congressman Peter Meijer, a guest on CNN, gave “kudos” to Pete Hegseth for not explicitly agreeing with Trump’s unbelievable claim that Iran bombed its own girls school. The bar is so low that it’s underground.

Noah was born on a placid island of blissful stupidity in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that he should voyage far. His takes, each straining in its own direction, have hitherto harmed us little; but someday...

U.S. 🤝 Russia

Illegally targeting civilian water supplies

No one can claim legitimacy in Iran and also let bygones be bygones with the U.S. if those bygones are ‘destroy their power and water and kill a bunch of little girls’

Rural broadband was one of the biggest government infrastructure investments since the interstate highways system and it didn’t do shit lol

You cannot do this to people and expect Iranian Delcy Rodriguez to emerge to make peace with you. She pulled it off only because the U.S. operation in Venezuela killed mostly security personnel (and indeed, mostly Cuban security personnel)

Apocalyptic scenes from Koohsar Blvd. in the Shahran neighbourhood of northwestern Tehran.

Easiest prediction in the world tbh.

What gas price would cause your "coworkers who drive large trucks" to switch their vote from Trump to Harris?

i really don't understand why European countries think it's fine to let the US turn off Russian oil sanctions even temporarily so that USA can prosecute a stupid reckless war of choice

proof you write the posts, not an LLM

images you can hear

there are (uniformed, career) people in DoD with actual legal liability from shit they did over the last year, but if we're gonna hold them to account we need to be judicious and specific with what and who we target, instead of "uhhh everyone in DoD did war crimes in Iran hurrdurr"

Smell og røyk ved den amerikanske ambassaden i Oslo Smell og røyk ved den amerikanske ambassaden i Oslo

Loud blast heard near US embassy in Oslo with smoke rising, according to Norwegian police and residents.

Large EMS response. No injuries reported.

a lot of people genuinely believe that "war crimes" are things that are "unfair" and would be subject to a balance pass in a Call of Duty game

After seeing years of people handwring about Ukrainian use of incendiaries on Russian fortifications or FPV's striking individual soldiers this is incredibly unsurprising discourse to me

Everyone says the Trump administration is an unpredictable wildcard but they consistently plan operations to begin after the US stock market closes for the weekend to let the fallout boil over a little bit before they reopen on monday

Turns out, the Haber Bosch process working best with piles of cheap natural gas means that all the fertilizer is now made in like three places
