oh, but did those 150 million people show the talent of Bill Gates in monopolizing his software and then enshittifying it knowing there is no possibility of it being usurped under the protection of a genocidal world empire? didn't think so
In 2022, the US provided about half the total funding to the WFP (7 billion out of 14 billion dollars)
folks, the news mega. it's so popular, it's slowing down the site. more and more people are saying it. the admins say that there's never been a mega that's so yuge and wonderful.
massive increase in the rate of this emote's usage over the last couple weeks, the mask of empire is coming off at an accelerating pace
In a meeting with Blinken, he expressed that if Palestine were allowed to join the UN as a state, this would mean that the US would be forced to defund the UN, which would then lead to programs being underfunded. This includes the World Food Program, which helped 150 million people get food in 2023.
The threat is, therefore: allow Palestine in, and millions will starve.
to be slightly fair, when you have like 900 military bases that's still some okay coverage, but it does make foreign invasions rather more challenging
"the West's downfall is inevitable and hegemony will soon be a thing of the past" and "the American Empire is still a sturdy and somewhat competent entity and it will be the challenge of the century to meaningfully destroy their institutions and monetary dominance" aren't statements in conflict. they are a dialectic of thesis and antithesis that is making out, sloppy style. understanding and internalizing both will make you the True Geopolitics Understander
Macron made a deal with a demonic entity in which for every bad thing he does, he must do a good thing also.
Sends weapons to Ukraine? Thou must also be one of the one Western leaders to actually talk to Putin in the leadup to the Ukraine War to try and stop it happening.
Then, opposes Russia and supports sending hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians to their deaths? Thou must also be a voice against the anti-China movement in the West.
Oppress people in New Caledonia and West Africa? Thou must also be in support of arresting Israeli genocidal war criminals in a West which adores and celebrates those qualities in people.
this is the funniest fucking thing I've seen today. literally "well, we can't stop them from crashing, so just don't go on missions more than 30 minutes away so that you can go crash on an airfield"
god has put a curse on all helicopters and humanity refuses to give them up anyway
WTC-7 is the third gender
The Pentagon is the fourth
imo, if Yemen and friends can set up a Mediterranean blockade then Israel will cease to exist in 2025, if not then there's probably a few more years of infighting and civil war to get through before the Knesset is fleeing to Cyprus on helicopters like in every other ill-fated American imperialist project.
settler societies cannot handle hardship for any extended period and their entire ideology of "thrust every problem onto the people we have enslaved and put into camps" ceases to function as soon as there isn't enough resources even for the "ubermensch"
bizarre. now I'm thinking that maybe the pilot was sus if the weather wasn't actually that challenging and there wasn't even an emergency contact or brief declaration that they were going to try a landing before getting lost.
though if a person was able to survive, it doesn't seem like it was a straight up "alright, got the other helicopters away, now time to ram this thing into the ground as hard as possible" kinda thing, so I don't even know. maybe the pilot was just extremely confident that it was no big deal and went for the landing with the plan to inform the other helicopters afterwards, and then suddenly shit went sideways real quick, a helicopter blade hit a tree or something when mostly descended and boom. not 100% instantly fatal but certainly enough damage that with a 9-10 hour lag time to find the crash (or however long it took), anybody who survived except that one imam would have died from their injuries
