Leaving Bsky
Why? B-sky "labels" are 1 reason

&, I see many so deeply lost in jingoistic American bashing that they even post Chinese propaganda (China funds Russia) to laugh at our working class

Incl NAFO & other Americans

I came to support Ukraine & always will

I tend to believe that he must abuse Adderall, as well

It's similar to cocaine

I was astounded when I found out T didn't drink back in like 2015 or 2016...

I can't think of anyone else who acts more drunk!

Due to sanctions, these planes have not been getting required services. Services. They are death traps, crashes waiting to happen.

If Trump had any decency, he would say no way until they agree to a complete ceasefire.

I'm not saying believe in T, either.

When T is gone & we recover one day from all this, that's different.

Beijing funds Russia & will absolutely devour European industry IF you let them (as we did, & this is why T is now doing this)

Not hard at all to find energy customers

Look at Russia's entire economy since 1991

If you believe in Beijing, I have a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn

They will smile when they want something as they slide the knife into your back

Learn from our mistakes, don't repeat them

China is China's friend. Beijing smiles when it wants something & is a genocidal regime funding Russia's war.

As it is impossible for Ukraine to hit all the Russian "archers," they must also strike the Russian "arrows" & need our help.

Air defense saves civilian lives & infrastructure.

Talk to your elected representatives to help them more, wherever you live!

God bless everyone helping Ukraine.

God bless my brothers and sisters in #NAFO.

Also, Ukraine's initial attack into Kursk put the lie to the Biden administration's fears of Moscow going nuclear BIG TIME

Ukraine still in Kursk & Belgorod Oblasts

These incursions rely on secure supply lines from Ukraine proper

These incursions are an outsized embarrassment to Putin & force his fascist invaders to destroy Russian lands while also demonstrating how inefficient the Russian military is

Russia is probably more effective at these other forms of war than it is with its soldiers!

Not terribly surprising.
China has a surplus of men due to female infanticide in relation to Beijing's 1-child policy.

Probably some of them are incels... And figure they can absorb some bullets.

On TV, Euronews were the ones who would show video without commentary, no?

I loved that. Let people see without filling their heads with narratives. If they are interested, the people can find out more.

Politico, in general, seems like all editorials.

Russia was supposed to have taken Pokrovsk months ago...

Yet, Ukraine not only stopped that advance, but has been regaining land recently (blue areas)...

I don't find euronews impressive.

Example, a read an article and then asked the journalist for a source on his claim that fighting in Bakhmut was seeing 1:1 losses.

Emailed the editor too. Completely ignored by both.

That's not a credible source, IMO. It's a megaphone.

Note - this post doesn't mean I agree with T tariffs

It'll raise prices

My point is to see whether it is a crippling blow or an inconvenience. I think the latter, but am happy to be convinced otherwise.

Yes, I'm not against all tariffs, but they must have a REAL plan and be based on a REAL reason, such as the one you pointed out.

I hope nations negotiate with the dingdong for the sake of my people but I also think they need to "find out" the hard way to break the MAGA spell.
