Trying to pay the $300B in TrumpCoin

It’s like the penultimate scene in the old Street Fighter movie, where they find out M. Bison’s bug out safe is just full of his own branded currency

They’re selfishly preventing us from accessing the jet fuel we use to power our bombers.

It’s unsporting, petty, and deeply unchristian. They should be ashamed of themselves.

A phone call, an armada of speed boats, thousands of sea mines, and a mosaic defense strategy that allows for the continuous firing of ballistic missiles after suffering $1T in infrastructure damage.

I’m sure it’ll shock you to discover that the $300B check was not actually in the mail

Reform UK will handle it

Don’t worry, they’ll be pardoned and granted a new slew of sponsors for their Based Trad behaviors

Intended it more directed at Israel than the US.

Good thing the markets are closed, I guess.

The supposedly grass roots, organic rise of far right sentiment

British right wing nationalism has been around for a while

The BBC is a reliable reporter of facts

Russia has a pattern of this sort of behaviour

Broadly speaking, spy agencies have been known to operate in this fashion. So it’s a believable allegation.

But was this guy radicalized by the Russian secret service to target Starmer? Or the British secret service, as further agitation against Russia? Or the Americans or Ukrainians, towards similar ends?

Idk. The BBC isn’t exactly above playing it’s own role in the espionage game.

The 22-year-old Ukrainian builder had been weaponised to target the UK’s head of government. But by who?

…

The handler EL, who directed Lavrynovych, offered Russian citizenship in return for other attacks and glorified President Vladimir Putin, messages the BBC has uncovered show.

We have identified evidence suggesting that EL is a young Russian diplomat, schooled in information warfare by spies and propagandists, who is close to the highest levels of power in Moscow. His name is Evgeny Lyukshin. He is 23 and the son of a senior official.

It’s plausible. Russian intelligence services have adopted the same basic tactics used by the CIA, the FBI, SIS, Mossad, and similar services to cultivate extremists as tools of regime change.

And we’ve got a wealth of evidence to support the theory that these agencies use the Internet as a vector of that radicalization.

Whether you believe the BBC (an organ of state media) when it pins the blame on one spy agency over another? I guess that depends on how much you trust them.

I told you it was always about oil

More broadly, it is about western imperial expansion. Control of the Red Sea. Control of the Suez Canal. The ability to cut China and Russia off from international markets (specifically, trade with India and West Africa).

Oil was a big part of it, but not the whole.

It was always not only about israel colonial interests but also american imperialist interests

They’re joined at the hip.

It’ll be a clean, fast special operation that definitely won’t lead to a protracted ground war.

Carney dodged a bullet when a much more popular Conservative party took a tumble in the face of US tariffs.

Now he’s trying to placate a bunch of Trumpy Albertans on the on hand and tech sector landleeches on the other, which is roughly the place Biden found himself two years into his term.

Canadian politics is fully in the grip of the oligarchs - many of whom straddle the border.

If only. Every Canadian politician treats sucking up to Americans like it’s half their job. Canadian businessmen, like it’s the entire job.

Just like the baseball world series, where nobody but usa teams play.

Technically the US Baseball Series includes Canada.

The landlords in Canada absolutely wanted it
