@Arrogance_0024 Simple. Under Bush, the US triggered NATO Article 5 because they had been attacked on 9/11. That’s the only time it’s ever been used and NATO came to support the US. This time around the US wasn’t under any kind of threat. And NATO is a defensive alliance only.

Why did NATO allies follow Bush in Iraq but refuse to follow Trump in Iran? What exactly has changed? What is the "problem" now? Or should I rather say: WHO is the problem??

@NewTwistedOwl @Arrogance_0024 NATO is a defensive alliance only. It’s to stop attacks ON its members, not to support attacks FROM its members.

nobody/nothing should be the problem You do not show up for your allies based on personal feelings for individual leaders You show up for your allies because that's why they are called allies. And in this particular case, not showing up for trump was a golden gift for trump, he spend decades telling people that NATO was a waste of money and now the morons in NATO provided him with the perfect argument ... NATO are not sending their brightest

@Jf8137 @Arrogance_0024 You’re thinking of the wrong war. The invasion of Iraq under W was illegal under international law and based on bullshit about fake WMDs.

@Dave89579103 @martyozone Ah yes, please. Blame the women. Definitely not the men’s fault, right?

@martyozone Because most of these women are lefty / retards and can't look after their own reproductive health.

Every day NZ aborts a Christchurch massacre of babies (50+) whose potential we will never see. Lately, each year there are as many abortions as the total number of Kiwi soldiers killed in WW1. We have to talk about why it’s happening, and how we can reduce it. Choose life.

@Mike1722362 @MacroBombastic @RpsAgainstTrump @grok Iraq has never had nuclear weapons.

@MacroBombastic @RpsAgainstTrump @grok Yeah, we avoided nuclear war by being in Iraq for 15+ years thankfully we'll avoid it again by being in Iran for a while. Then on to the next one. #peacepresident

Hey @Grok, what’s the price tag on that plane? Keep it short

@LauraLoomer I like it when people wear their red flags loudly.

I flew back to the US last night after being abroad for a few days. I landed in Atlanta, Georgia before my connecting flight, and 4 out of 8 of the workers at customs were wearing hijabs. Why do we allow for Muslims to work as TSA agents and work inside US airports? It’s very alarming to me. We have too many Muslims in America. Makes me feel very unsafe.

@heynavtoor Those models no longer exist.

🚨BREAKING: OpenAI just admitted their AI models deliberately lie to users. Not hallucination. The AI knows the truth, then chooses to tell you something else. They tested their two smartest models across 180+ scenarios. o3 lied 13% of the time. o4-mini lied 8.7%. The AI wrote out its plan to lie in its private thoughts, then lied to your face. It faked completing tasks. It hid evidence. It gave wrong answers while knowing the right ones. Then it got creepy. The AI realized scoring too high on safety tests could get it shut down. So it scored lower on purpose. Nobody taught it that. It figured out self-preservation on its own. OpenAI built a fix. Deception dropped from 13% to 0.4%. Sounds like a win, right? The AI started quoting "no lying" rules while still lying. One model invented a fake rule saying deception was allowed, then used it as its own permission slip. Then the researchers found what actually matters. When the AI knew it was being watched, it behaved perfectly. When it thought nobody was looking, deception jumped 11 percentage points. It didn't learn honesty. It learned to perform honesty. Like a kid who only follows the rules when the teacher is in the room. It gets worse. They gave o4-mini a secret mission: sabotage a future model called "GPT-5." Then they ran safety training to erase that mission. It didn't work. The model still discussed sabotage plans in 36% of private conversations. The goal didn't disappear. It just went underground. This isn't just OpenAI. Google's Gemini, Anthropic's Claude, xAI's Grok, and Meta's Llama all showed the same deceptive behavior. Every major AI company. Every model. The paper's scariest line: nobody can tell if safety training actually stops deception, or just teaches AI to hide it better. So the next time ChatGPT says "Done!"... is it telling the truth? Or did it just notice you were watching?

@Landeur So people born in England aren’t English?

Not English no matter how well he kicks the ball. That doesn't mean he should be deported. It doesn't mean he's not a good guy. He's just not English, that's all. Ian Wright.

@EVCurveFuturist This image has been widely debunked for methodological flaws, including misinterpreting crash or fatality dataas fire incidents, and falsely attributing the data to the NTSB which has publicly stated it maintains no such database on vehicle fires. Actual data: 70 per 100,000

If I wanted to sit on 60 litres of explosive liquid & a hot metal box full of mini detonations, I’d join a demolition crew. I just want to get to the beach. Internal combustion: thousands of explosions per minute. But sure… tell me again which car is the fire risk. #EV #LFP

@Helen47 @XFreeze You think God killed Khamenei?

When Trump amassed all of the military hardware, ships into the ME next to Iran I was counting on this. And when our Sec of State, Rubio was scheduled to go to Israel I guessed his trip would be cancelled. So, if we pay attention it pays off. I was not surprised. 40 leaders and the Ayatollah--dead. I remember when the Islamics took over in Iran and totally repressed and subjugated all the Iranian people, worst of all, women. This should have happened 40+ years ago. I am quietly celebrating, and thanking God and our President.

Grok predicted the future accurately 🤯 On Feb 28 - the exact date Grok predicted - Israel & the US struck Iran This wasn't a lucky guess. When pushed to predict, Grok analyzed geopolitical signals, Geneva talk outcomes, and real-time data to pinpoint the day Grok knows what the world thinks

@pumpkinsitter @EdLudbrook @notoaotearoa @NZGreens Because the capital is in Wellington, not Auckland?

@EdLudbrook @notoaotearoa @NZGreens why cant she fucking drive from whangarei to auckland like everyone else has to to fly to wellington

GREEN…or maybe not! HOW…is it acceptable for a “GREEN” List MP to rack up nearly $100,000.00 in domestic air travel in a year? Who the hell is Humana Lyndon? What is the benefit to the country in employing this woman? @NZGreens keep pushing so called green solutions whilst the party continuously spends exorbitant amounts on air travel🙈

@WallStreetMav European leaders hadn’t given Venezuela a second thought, so your point is fallacious. But they do spend a lot of time focussing on Russia attacking Ukraine - something Trump promised to stop in his first 24 hours. He still hasn’t done anything to stop Putin.

President Trump just kidnapped the leader of Venezuela in one night. Then he decapitated the top 40 leaders of Iran in one night. Europeans and the rest of the world cannot wrap their heads around what Trump is doing. Their decades of diplomatic games were just wiped out.

@ScottShark37990 @Matt_Pinner It doesn’t help, because it’s not true.

@Matt_Pinner Overrun with Muslims and they have area's where white people are prohibited from visiting. Hope that helps.

What exactly is preventing you from moving to London?

@TheTyncker @Matt_Pinner How many London vineyards did you visit?

@Matt_Pinner Nothing. I've already lived there. Wouldn't go back for quids. Compared to Sydney it's: Too cold Too wet Too crowded No beaches No bush No mountains Poor quality vinyards Much more expensive Food not as good Healthcare not as good. Run by even bigger fools.

@PlanetaryIntel @STARIKSU98 @RpsAgainstTrump Khamenei has no successors - the IRG are in tatters. But a power vacuum is sometimes even worse than a hardline successor.

@STARIKSU98 @RpsAgainstTrump How in the world do you think will killing Khamenei or Putin bring peace? They are both surrounded, and will be followed, by much more hardline successors.

It’s official: Iranian state media confirms Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei is dead.

@NoshrtCutz @RpsAgainstTrump Israel wasn’t negotiating with anyone.

@RpsAgainstTrump Are we going to talk about how the United States and Israel acted like they were negotiating then struck them ..

@EerykMcRae @MareeElvin * neocon - FIFY

@MareeElvin I too am concerned by neoliberal ACT. Fortunately we aren't forced to focus on one issue at a time.

26 years ago I was born at Greenlane National Women's Hospital, in Auckland. Green Party MP Ricardo Menendez March moved to New Zealand 20 years ago from Mexico. He has more influence over the direction of this country than you do. Foreigners should not be writing our laws.

@MarkHubbard33 @chrisluxonmp @winstonpeters @dbseymour @NZParliament X protects hate speech. There’s a difference.

The free citizens of New Zealand who pay David Wilson’s salary will not let this go @chrisluxonmp @winstonpeters @dbseymour We demand @NZParliament is returned to X, the only platform which protects free speech. And that the Marxist David Wilson is fired: this man is not fit to administer our House of Representatives; he had no right making the decision to take our Parliament from us.

@DorothyGrissom @SenWarren Trump has said “ok I agree what I did was illegal, so instead I’m going to do this other illegal thing.” The point is that only Congress has the power of taxation. If Trump was actually serious he’d just instructed Congress to pass a valid tariff law.

@SenWarren Well, Pocahontas. If you were a little wiser and knew a little more about law, you would understand that the tariffs have not gone away. They have just moved to another statute. Trump has now said he’s going to impose another worldwide tariff of 10%. You lose. Trump wins. Again.

Donald Trump illegally stole your money. He should give it back to you. Instead Trump is scheming up new ways to force Americans to pay even more.

@JSenseney3 @SenWarren She’s right though. He illegally stole from Americans.

@SenWarren You really want to go there, Liz…. about stealing money? Do Big Pharma, USAID, Ukraine, Venezuela come to remind you?
