I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.

former ambassador to Ukraine Bridget Brink describes the "peace offer" Trump administration is pushing on Ukraine:
"it included Putin's wish list of everything that he wants"

"The legislative filibuster, which creates a 60-vote threshold, only exists when it is convenient for Senate Republicans. Whenever the filibuster threatens to impede a Republican priority, it is ignored."
a zoom presentation, the guy starts somberly:
"sorry my voice is off today, please bear with me. A friend died today".
oh. Today's bombing was really rough.
presenter: "It's Objective C, hahahah!"
fuck you.
look who learned what 86 means
Merz was saying it when #Taurus was blocked by Scholz, while the US leadership was ok with the idea.
Now it seems the US is applying pressure on Germany to NOT deliver #Taurus.
MIRV missile is only scary if it's nuclear. Otherwise it's as good as six very imprecise missiles.
Also, Russia has threatened Ukraine with nukes since forever. Nothing new here.
"We'll just terraform Mars," they insist, unable to terraform Earth, a planet that is already perfect except it's like 2Β° too warm.
Whoa, so apparently it IS possible to seize Russian money
Why does the article show a movie poster in Ukrainian?
Oh wow: Portland Oregon is NOT KIDDING

Nov 29, 1939. "Finland is threatening the USSR, hiding behind the non-aggression pact".
There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.
Dear US taxpayers, asking Ukraine to give back money. With that money you bought:
863k Russian soldiers shot
10k Russian tanks blown up
370 Russian aircraft downed
28 Russian ships sank
$180 bln of US arms sales increase
Having a bit of buyer's remorse? No refunds.
The bar for freedom keeps raising.
The matter is not whether the design is entirely indigenous (the engine is not) but whether the US has leverage over Sweden to push them.
Biden's America was the main Sweden's NATO protector, so they obviously had it. Trump is indifferent to NATO at best, so who knows.
At first I was like "Whaat? there was a protected bike lane in San Mateo??". Nope. It was just a painted line.
Now they're removing even that, because parking. And they're gonna call the shared road a "bike boulevard". (thanks for reporting this mockery, @cafedujord.bsky.social )

So we now have president-unelect Elon Musk.
In the days when Assad regime was falling, the US govt was calling for "deescalation"
When it felt, TV was telling "the rebels aren't exactly the good guys"
The US knew about Sednaya slaughterhouse and the mass graves. And preferred Assad to stay in power, because "stability".
Amoral losers.
Trumpists' favorite taunt - "TDS" - sounds especially sinister when you consider what usually comes next.
1. The opposition are mentally sick
2. They should be confined in psychiatric hospitals
> The purpose of torture was to build leverage, evident from both the communications sent by the TOG to the target and as the victim was not subjected to questioning during or after their torture, but was simply tortured and then released.

> we have also documented what I would call "meaningless torture" β if there is ever such a thing. They've got all the information but they want to teach you a lesson. That lesson is "you need to fear us".
FSB is doing exactly the same in occupied Ukraine.

Biden will not utilize all $6.5 bln of drawdown authority because he is⦠"unwilling to draw down US inventories"
Seems with Trump's recent okaying foreign policy assignments Biden is now comfortable with leaving Ukraine in his hands. So the drip-feeding policy is back.

Source of data on Poroshenko's net worth in 2024?
I could only find that his net worth dropped from $1.6 bln in 2021 to $0.7 bln in December 2022.
