THE STUPIDEST FUCKING SHIT
Dear Free World (not you, #USA):
Have contingencies, wait for 4 years (2 if #Democrats retake #Congress)
If the USA elects #MAGA again, give up on us entirely
My apologies as an #American
Millions of us are in cringe humiliation now
#India, #EU, #China, remaining world powers:
Use the vacuum left by the immense implosion wisely

#Syria doesn't have the right to defend itself...
#Trump initially declined to rule out #military force, alarming many Greenlanders, though he later *softened* his stance, stating he would respect the will of the local people & was "ready to invest billions of dollars" if they joined the US.
#Greenland's PM, Mute Egede, has stressed the island is not for sale & advocated for a broad coalition govt to resist. In an interview aired on Mon, he dismissed Trump's offer as disrespectful, expressing willingness to cooperate w/other countries instead.
The vast island, with a population of just 57k, has been caught up in a geopolitical race for dominance in the #Arctic, where melting #IceCaps are making its #resources more accessible & opening new #shipping routes. Both #Russia & #China have intensified #military activity in the region.
"People want change...We want more business to finance our welfare," said Jens-Frederik Nielsen, #Demokraatit's leader & a former minister of industry & #minerals.
The Office That Investigates Disparities in Veterans’ Care Is Being “Liquidated”

New leaders plan to break taboos on military spending and fiscal restraint. One reason that made this possible: the country’s hard work for postwar reconciliation. #Germany #military

#Trump just said that he wants to build “the most powerful #military of the future, and as a “first step,” he is “asking Congress to fund a ‘golden dome missle defense shield’ to protect our homeland,” and added, “all made in the #USA.”
He then mentioned how Reagan wanted to do it a long time ago, but didn’t have the technology,” so now he wants to do it.
He then talked about “bringing back” ship building to the US.

Exclusive: Six sources who worked for the Air Force or in Congress told ProPublica that they had heard about Sen. Joni Ernst’s relationship with a top military official and there had been concerns about it for years.
Army Vet: “It was a blatant f***ing lie.”
2/ Owner of the firm Gunnar Gran: "As you probably understand, not a liter will be delivered until Trump is finished"
"We run a private limited company and choose our customers!"
"The owner also said that the group has excluded Russians since Putin's invasion, adding: "It gave a lot of our competitors a lot of extra revenue. We lost a lot of revenue. But we have a moral compass. Now the United States is excluded based on their behavior towards the Ukrainians.""

Haltbakk has called on other European companies to refuse service to American forces.

What do you do when there is a product firmly targeted at your demographic and personal interests, but it is connected to another product you have absolutely no interest in at all? Clearly, you ramble about it in public.
