Me in 2023: America deserved 9/11
Me in 2024: Bin Laden was a lib, America deserves way worse than 9/11.

lol if this vote was in doubt at all AOC would start crying as she voted to give “israel” more money (again).
Pretty similar to what US corporations do to shed pension liabilities…
But if we don’t vote for Democrats down ballot, the the Republicans will just vote for even more aid to commit genocides, right?
Does Flint, Michigan have clean water yet?
There’s just a vibe with the painting I can’t describe. It’s a “fictional” place but I can really almost place myself in there, and placing myself there stirs up something in me.
Dems on unified on supporting Ukraine. The House is nearly split 50/50, and there’s plenty of Republicans who support Ukraine - and you only need a few of them to cross over.
He’s the only Trot I trust
China Mieville’s book October is very good. A very readable account of (part of) the revolution.
Actually Trotsky’s book about the revolution is pretty good too, at least the part of it I read.
I mean, I don't think Russia is burning through >$3 trillion per year, but I get your point. There's nothing left to buy, maybe some shells that aren't going to do much. I think the only way the west can make an actual impact in the war is crossing the big red lines (letting Ukraine shoot off missiles deep into Russia or providing boots on the ground or flying their own NATO jets in the air.
Now that it seems certain Ukraine is gonna get its $60 billion, has there been any analysis on how that money can translate into actual battlefield performance for Ukraine. Like, will that money even slow down Russia’s advance? I feel like at this point the money isn’t even all that important relative to the fact that it seems unless NATO commits to massively provocative actions (like sending NATO troops to fight), Russia will still be advancing just at a different pace.
Totally a coincidence that $1 billion is the same estimate that’s been made regarding how much it cost “israel” to stop all those Iranian drones.
I once made a reference to “genocide Joe” in a chat with a friend who I don’t normally talk politics with. He was confused - not because he thought what was going on in Gaza wasn’t a genocide, but because he had no idea what was even happening in Gaza, much less America’s involvement in it.
Polls on Americans’ opinions on things outside of the Lower 48 are completely pointless given how criminally ignorant most Americans are.
