An ally of Putin warns Trump not to give Ukraine Tomahawk cruise missiles. Trump of course will obey.

I was not aware that the United States was at war with Iran. When did the US Congress declare this war?
He obviously represents Israel, not the United States.

The great dealmaker loses again.

There was no war against Hamas. There was the mass murder of tens of thousands of innocent women and children who had nothing to do with Hamas. Call it what it was. A country committing war crimes to steal more land.

On the other hand, I would proudly show my face at any protest against the fascist government of the United States.

Principles above profits. Bravo. 🇨🇦

It must be great to have such a well-informed and intelligent president. Uh... no, I wasn't referring to the United States.

Trump appoints people not despite the fact that they are corrupt but precisely because they are corrupt just like him.

Illegal or not, it has to be done. It's called good trouble. It's very difficult to arrest millions of people.

A second problem is that, unlike the French, Americans who actually do protest don't shut the country down.

There was never a war in Gaza. There was the mass murder of tens of thousands of innocent women and children by Israel. Netanyahu needs to be arrested and tried at The Hague for war crimes along with his generals and military personnel.

Absolutely. But it would be political suicide to do it since the oil industry and domestic manufacturers of EVs would indirectly funnel huge money into defeating any government that allows Chinese imports tariff free.

Isn't it wonderful that only in America an ordinary person of modest means can get elected and become a multi-millionaire almost overnight as a result. You'd almost think that there was bribery and insider trading involved.

Good for him putting a stop to the gaslighting, and sparing his audience. I'd like to see a lot more off this, but I'm not holding my breath.

He "may" tell Putin to settle the war. Or he may not. And he certainly won't deliver the Tomahawks to Ukraine no matter what he says. He works for Putin. Always remember that small detail.

Another market scam successfully pulled off.

Their lives were destroyed by the Israeli military armed by the United States killing tens of thousands of innocent women and children who had nothing to do with Hamas. Netanyahu and his military personnel must pay for their war crimes.

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what is going on.

CynicallyOptimistic @cautiousoptimistic.bsky.social · 2d

Israel has universal health care as well, yet receives billions annually from the United States. Definitely something wrong with this picture.

Just a reminder that "the Antifa movement" is mostly worldwide, excluding a few countries like Russia and Hungary. We fought and won a world war against it once, and will do it again if necessary.

China has a centrally-controlled economy. They will win any trade war with the United States, which, not incidentally, has a moron as president.
