The only substantive aid it delivered, was aid Israel in the massacre of Palestinians. Team America at it again.

I’m not a fan of American foreign policy at all, but following the European news lately I don’t know if our governments can be trusted without the US providing security.

I fear that the moment European nations need to be serious about their own defense they become way less trustful of their neighbors, creating all the incentives for an arms race. Especially with the current crop of nationalist politicians it’s not hard to imagine a serious cool down in the relationship between a France and a Germany lead by Le Pen and the AFD (in a coalition government or not). In such a world it’s suddenly way less pleasant to be a smaller nation that can not seriously compete with Germany or France.

I really hope I’m wrong and that we truly learned the lesson from the second word war, but I think not needing to provide our own security plays at least a role in the relative peace within the EU member states.

If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it is not a duck.

Hey America, ruin our economy further you c*nts, it’s really appreciated.

Kind regards, The Netherlands

Oh no!

Anyway.

I forgot the name of the specific tactic, but basically what the Bush administration did was leak unsourced information to the NYT and then after the NYT published it, the Bush administration used the NYT as source for the unproven claim. They did this multiple times. The NYT was knowingly used to launder lies that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. And they are doing it again.

Think of how many Palestinians have been brutalized as a result of these heinous accusations. The fact that they canceled the Daily episode about this piece indicates that they knew something was fishy. The NYT is complicit.

And finally does it matter if they are either comically inept, or criminally evil. It has the same effect on the world and there should be consequences for their actions.

You can not make this shit up. Jesus fucking Christ what a world.

It was a rhetorical question, but yes, April 12: dragged out of embassy, November 19: Sweden drops charges. And soon thereafter America suddenly says they would like to extradite him to the US even though they denied this for years while Assange was in the embassy.

Luckily political dissidents don’t need to fear for their life/freedom in the west, ow wait.

Btw what is up with those rape charges, or did Sweden conveniently drop them the moment Assange was pulled from that embassy?

Yeah let’s not reflect or even think about the fact that Germanys economy has possibly been torpedoed with the go-ahead from, or directly by, its biggest ally.

What about tripling the penalty for driving over a toddler?

Good tip, I already have a plugin that removes all climate change news, now I never have to worry about it :)

Me burning to death fixing pylint warnings before I can commit my code.

It would be a nice precedent, every time an ai fucks up the legal responsibility escalates directly to the CEO.

No idea what this is about but upvoted for the cats

How can a meme make no sense and so much sense at the same time

General, it has come to my attention that there are hospitals in Gaza that haven’t been bombed yet, quick deploy the troops!

Also did Turkey not hugely sponsor Azerbaijan in the war against Armenia recently?

Jummy 😋☢️
