"are have not been established". Amazing work.

The forced removal of Transgender Persons from the US Army begins. This isn't about readiness, ethics, or morality. It's about ego and political posturing. Removing American troops from the NATO pool only aids our adversaries.

Moody pic taken on the way to a Munich Christmas market. Small, walkable, pedestrian centric, centers of culture are more important than brutalist car centric economic output (Berlin).

I mixed up British Burma/Myanmar with British South Africa. Point stands, he supported the colonial efforts of the British empire.
His father was a spice and opium trader; who I'm sure had great things to say about the Indo-Pacific peoples.

Right wingers always talk about repelling an invasion of occupiers, not losing their culture, and arming the citizens against tyrannical governments. They're describing Ukraine. Yet they're too scarred to follow through on their own ideals.

This is what the Times cover should look like. Maybe use his NY state mug shot too?

Saint Nicholas was Irish. Klaus and Krampus are German. Commercialism is American. It's probably best for Russia if they aren't given any gifts this cold frigid winter. Give the citizens a taste of the trenches.

The real luxuries in life.

They fight so you don't have to. Either send Ukraine money and weapons, or prepare to send your sons and daughters.

The best revenge is success. Learn from the moment and move on. Dwelling on failures only leads to more failure. Dwell on the positives, the learning and experience you gained, and move on to the next challenge with new skills.

"An eye for an eye, makes the whole world blind." Is a quote usually attributed to Ghandi, though he never claims to have used it. It is a critique of the way the Bible demands like-for-like punishments and even death for trivial property crimes.
Sidenote, the Bible endorses Slavery.

We are comparing the pictured place, Italy (and thereby the EU at large) to the state of affairs in the US.
Most of South America's issues relate directly back to US intervention(s) known as the Monroe Doctrine.

The average Ukrainian person went to the recruitment centers, was armed with a rifle, an RPG, and/or a group of people, and aimed at a common goal: repel the Russian assault.
They pushed the Russian out of every region; except those occupied since 2014.

Sadly, no. Still Putin. Without Putin dictators like Trump, Kim Jong Un, Assad, Ayatollah Khamenei, Ilham Aliyev, Lukashenko, Mikheil Kavelashvili, and Georgescu, wouldn't have a base of power to draw from in order to reinforce each other.

"They did this to themselves." There was always a path forward, but they chose profit over progress.

In case you forgot, Ukraine is still, 3 years on, singlehandedly, preserving peace and democracy across Europe. They've chosen to fight the "2nd best army in the world" so that EU citizens didn't have to.
Either send weapons and money today or your sons and daughters next year.

Doesn't make sense in an Italian context, since they don't lack access to basic life saving care and medicines... But I do like to see class solidarity across the world. No one can be truly free unless we're all free.

Point Nemo is crazy. ~2000km from any piece of land, even a tiny island.

Pics for inspiration. This was June. I was still a tourist at this time. These beaches were full of Russian tourists pre-1989. Now they are proudly EU and NATO. These people have the courage to stand up to Russian aggression when Russia is next door, not across an ocean. Toate Puternice.

But Greece is expensive and uninviting since they don't use the latin script. Then he showed me pictures from his vacation to the Black Sea. It struck a nerve so, I've been in Constanta since June. Picking up the language was quite easy. It's just really old Spanish.

Originally I wanted to live in Valencia since I speak Spanish as well as English. But residency and jobs was difficult due to the 14% unemployment rate. So I went to Germany, it was too expensive. I asked a backpacker where he would go for a cheap vacation. He suggested Greece.

Did United pay for the full duration of the anesthesia?
Jokes aside, anesthesia is very scary. Glad it was well handled by the skilled vet tech.

I'd still choose Trump but the article only delves into his failed businesses, scams, failed marriages, Jan 6, hush money payments, stealing and mishandling of top secret documents containing nuclear secrets, and then felonies. Reading the article would make you question if you're reading the onion.

Accurate

Both are true, but for different reasons. Food companies are poisoning us, but the people he works for won't change that, nor is he smart enough to change it himself.

I refuse to use the word Ex-patriot or expat. You're an immigrant.

4 panel comic Panel 1: Pink guy and White guy are having a chat. White guy: Urrrgh! I’m so sick of immigrants! I’m moving to another country Panel 2: Pink guy: So, you’re gonna become an immigrant? Panel 3: White Guy: Well yeah, but I’m white, so y’know… Panel 4: White guy: Not like, an immigrant immigrant

what right wingers mean when they say immigrant

Accurate:

Absolute trolls. Zelenskii owns two "homes" neither of which is a house and doesn't have any foreign bank accounts. An income of 11 mil USD per month would put him in the top 0.01%. Which is still factors less than Putin.
Equating the leader of a country with owning the country's economy is absurd.
