Flood the zone, so nobodyโs talking aboutโฆ what was it again? The thing Trump *really* doesnโt want anyone to mentionโฆ?
The current estimated male birth rate in Russia is 1,590 per day.
Putin doing a great job of creating a massive demographic gap in the Russian population; one theyโll pay dearly for in the future.
โAverted a half-dozen warsโ?
Thatโs brilliant. How are we to prove or disprove the counter-factual, let alone the causal relationship with anything he said or did?
But the โrealโ wars, the ones that could be demonstrated to cease, saving 10s of 1,000s of lives, heโs completely failed to address. ๐
What a f**king bellend. He looks at the paperwork in front of him from researchers & criticises the minister for referring to notes.
Iโve had managers go berserk if subordinates state things off the top of their heads without having access to the detail. Has he learnt nothing from Boris Johnson? ๐
Meanwhile, Trump has declared economic war on trade partners & allies around the world, with comparative silence over the atrocities Russia continues to commit in Ukraineโฆ
If only he could punish adversaries like Russia half as much as US allies. ๐
Hastening the process of this being the Chinese century, as global trade reconfigures to the path of least resistance, which is certainly no longer with the US. ๐คทโโ๏ธ

30.07.2025 15:19 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0Itโs not a levy on countries; itโs a levy on the American population & industry who will need to pay an import tax on items from respective countries.

Parachuting in food is incredibly inefficient & can be dangerous in the event of a parachute failure.
This is just a way of the Israelis to divert blame for their failure to comply with international law. Just let the NGOs deliver food as needed & not directed to meet Israeli military objectives.
