He failed miserably and loudly on the also easy question "Is genociding Ukrainians bad?"

As a linguist I despise hype for Chomsky with a passion. Lots of misconceptions of last centuries linguistics were popularized by him.

He turney linguistics into science. that does also mean everything he said about linguistics was unscientific and made up by his biases. Like everything before him

Should be, but sadly won't be. Not under Trump or Vance.

Presumably this is all needed for killing fisherman and threatening Canada, since Trump has already surrendered to russia and folds on China whenever Xi looks harshly at him.

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.

Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.

Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.

This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

We can take a good guess why the US are suddenly less interested.

😮 The moment of Russian Shahed drone strike on a Turkish cargo ship at Ukraine’s Odesa Port.

🤔 The meeting of US, Ukrainian, and EU delegations in Paris tomorrow will not take place, according to RMF, citing the Elysée Palace.

The reasons for the postponement or cancellation of the talks are unknown.

"You can't see any of our values in the current [Trump] National Security Strategy," says Ret. Lt. Gen. @markhertling.bsky.social.

"And if we're not living by our values, then we are going to turn away from who we are as a nation."

It's clear from the article that ICE is *miserable* here. They're freezing their asses off and being harassed everywhere they go. Property managers aren't allowing them access to rental properties and people know their rights and aren't letting them in.

KEEP IT UP.

In case anyone is falling for MTG's rehab attempt, she's still working for russia.

She now has russia's most reliable US shills, CodePink, helping her out.

Medea Benjamin's entry in the "known russian shills and pedaphile apologists" card deck.

No, they claimed to be an anti-war and feminist movement. Not sure if they ever were.

These days they are a pro-war movement - who try to help Putin in his war. Also generally supportive of misogynistic regimes with legalised domestic abuse.

Probably funded by China.

CODEPINK | Vatnik Soup In today’s #vatniksoup, I’ll introduce a US non-profit organization CODEPINK (@codepink), and its founders Jodie Evans (@MsJodieEvans) and Medea Benjamin (@medeabenjamin). It’s best-known for its anti...

Code Pink work hard in support of russia's war, so it isn't surprising they are shilling for MTG.

So now we know why Trump is suddenly bored with the negotiations.

🇪🇺💶 Kaja Kallas: The EU just decided to indefinitely immobilise Russian assets.

This ensures that up to €210 billion in Russian funds stay on EU soil, unless Russia fully pays reparations to Ukraine for the damage it has caused.

Putin claimed Ukrainian forces were "surrounded" in Kupiansk. He invited foreign journalists to visit—offered a 5-6 hour ceasefire so they could see the encircled troops safely.

Today, Zelenskyy walked in freely.

Not to cite a church father from a faith that I don’t believe in but Marx reviled gambling as providing the exact kind of false hope that the lefty defender of it in the screenshot uses to call it a potential point of relief

📣 Fundraiser for the 53rd Mechanized Brigade

Right now, the brigade urgently needs a Mavic drone to properly train new drone operators.

Goal: 89,000 UAH (1800 EUR)

New drone pilots + no practice drone = bad combo… 😒

This one fixes that: training Mavic for the guys!
Let’s go! 😎

Fire Erupts at Russian Factory Producing Over Half of the Country’s Artillery Shells A significant fire broke out at the Orsk Mechanical Plant in Russia, which produces critical military supplies, including artillery shell casings.

⚡️ A major fire ripped through a Russian defense factory that produces over half of the country’s artillery shell casings.

Trump’s National Security Strategy Is a Blueprint for the Demise of the West The White House’s agenda may not be coherent, but it is deeply dangerous.

"the lack of preoccupation with Russian expansionism in the administration’s security circles suggests something truly radical that Trump and his advisors haven’t had the courage or candor yet to pronounce clearly.” @hofrench.bsky.social

It should probably be considered an international emergency that a chunk of the global population is mainlining psychotic, violent propaganda 24/7

Consider #Putin, #Netanyahu, #Trump, #Elon, & #Zuck some of the Charles Mansons here.

Their followers are everywhere. Now they think it’s a holy war.

Drones operated by Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) have again targeted Russian offshore oil production facilities in the Caspian Sea.

Drones struck the Filanovsky offshore platform for the second time this week and hit the Korchagin platform. Both installations are operated by Lukoil.

The command of the National Guard’s Khartia Corps reports the successful completion of an operation to stabilize the situation in the Kupiansk direction. After the enemy’s actions and the escalation in the city in September of this year, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi, created the “Khartia” search-and-strike group, which began an operation to eliminate the Russian breakthrough. The planning and command of the operation were carried out by the 2nd National Guard Corps Khartia in cooperation with the tactical group Kupiansk and under the direct control of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces Syrskyi and the Commander of the National Guard, Pivnenko. The operation involves the Khartia Brigade, the 475th Assault Regiment “Code 9.2” of the 92nd Assault Brigade, units of the GUR MO Foreign Legion, and the 144th Mechanized Brigade. The group broke through to the Oskil River, cutting off the enemy’s supply routes. Kindrashivka, Radkivka, their outskirts, and several neighborhoods in northern Kupiansk have been liberated. From September 22 to December 12, 1,027 Russians were killed, 291 wounded, 13 taken prisoner. More than 200 occupiers are encircled.

Pentagon Unveils New GenAI Platform, It Immediately Starts Flagging Pete Hegseth's War Crimes - Above the Law The Defense Department's new ChatJAG turned out to be better than the human chain of command.

LOL... Pentagon released a new AI military chatbot and it immediately pointed out that Pete Hegseth is a war criminal.
