Tree of truth

@MrVasireddi @FurkanGozukara It still being under construction proves it had no military value in this war, and thus no justification to destroy it. Just an act of intimidation, bullying with bombs. Not an acceptable action according to the rules the US helped draft, and signed into agreement.

@FurkanGozukara Retard, you do know this bridge isn’t open yet right? It was still under construction.

Hey @grok is bombing civilian bridge a terrorist act or not?

@Abdulla08a @MrVasireddi @FurkanGozukara Bro, that is AI. So painfully, obviously AI. Please, respect yourself. Its the exact same image. Not the same angle, the same image. one altered. Also the bridge was unfinished, still under construction in like a dozen photos. Now is still a great time to delete this

@MrVasireddi @FurkanGozukara Retard

@imola_dr @RonFilipkowski He has gutted Hungary's economy and turned the big companies into a nepotism network that benefits him and his allies (which is why the economy has done so poorly). He keeps you quiet by pretending to care about family and religion. What even is economy anyway, right?

@RonFilipkowski Guess what,we have Viktor Orbán here in Hungary, elected for five times now, who is admired by the biggest leaders. He is supporting families, religion and border, because he loves our 1000 years old country. He does not support woke, illegals, big firms, because they are selfish

I understand that Viktor Orban clinging to power in Hungary is so important to Putin that he is doing everything possible to tamper in Hungary’s election, but why is it so important to Trump and Vance?

@ClayinVA @joecummings @BulwarkOnline Jesus Clay, did you not read even the title of the graph? That IS about the entire gulf states region. Europeans just don't buy their crude oil from there. Helium and some refined products, yes, but not crude. And oil is a global commodity, the price affects everyone, even you.

@joecummings @BulwarkOnline It’s not just about Iran. It’s about all of the Gulf States and you most certainly get your oil from there. The US is tired of playing global policeman and is going home to lick his wounds for a few decades. Best of luck.

Trump on re-opening the Strait of Hormuz: "Let France do it, they get a lot of oil from the strait. Let the Europeans do it. Let South Korea, who is not helpful to us, by the way…Let South Korea do it. Let Japan do it… This was not part of what I wanted to do."

@grey4626 I understand that you are literally gay, but regardless, calling Trump 'the lion of Mar a Lago' is the gayest thing I have ever heard. His war has failed and he is having a tantrum insisting others clear up his mess, and you think they are the weak ones. Dear god, the shame.

Fucking Finally. The Lion of Mar-a-Lago has roared with that signature, unfiltered lethality, and the message slices through the European delusion like a Tomahawk through a command bunker: the age of American subsidy for your parasitic cowardice is fucking over. To the sniveling, jet-fuel-starved cock-suckers of the United Kingdom and its spineless continental cohorts...listen the fuck up. For eighty years we have bled treasure, blood, and industrial supremacy to underwrite your decadent existence. From the Marshall Plan’s reconstruction of your war-ravaged empires to the carrier battle groups that have patrolled the Persian Gulf since the Tanker War of the 1980s, America has been your unpaid mercenary, your nuclear umbrella, your global logistics backbone. NATO? Nothing more than the North American Tribute Organization...where the United States shoulders over sixty-five percent of the alliance’s actual spending while your militaries have atrophied into hollow parade-ground husks, underfunded, undermanned, and equipped with yesterday’s gear because you chose cradle-to-grave welfare states and green virtue-signaling over steel and resolve. Geopolitically, the Strait of Hormuz is no academic footnote: it is the jugular vein of the world economy, funneling twenty-one percent of global petroleum liquids...nineteen million barrels a day...through a narrow chokepoint that asymmetric Iranian tactics...mines, anti-ship missiles, speedboat swarms...were designed to threaten precisely because they knew direct confrontation with American naval power was suicide. We and our Israeli partners have done the hard kinetic work...the precision decapitation of their leadership structure. The heavy lifting is finished. Now these same European freeloaders, who lacked the spine to commit forces when it mattered, dare complain about disrupted sea lanes? Decades of Pax Americana have bred in you a terminal strategic infantilism: a learned helplessness wrapped in smug moral superiority. You lecture the world on the “rules-based order” while outsourcing your survival to American sons and daughters. History is merciless on this point...from the Suez Crisis of 1956, when your imperial twilight exposed the limits of European power projection without U.S. backing, to the present. Your elites are psychologically castrated by comfort; your populations softened by entitlement. You forgot that freedom of navigation is not a birthright...it is enforced by gun, steel, and the will to use them. President Trump’s directive is surgical in its venomous precision: Number One, buy the fucking fuel from us...we have plenty. Number Two, grow some long-overdue balls, reconstitute what remains of your navies, sail into the Strait, and TAKE IT. No more American taxpayers dying to keep your fighters in the sky and your economies from freezing in the dark while you backstab and virtue-signal. The parasite has fed on the host long enough. The era of the United States as Europe’s security guard, banker, and scapegoat is closed. Fight for your own oil or learn to live without it. Adapt or wither. The choice is yours, but the protection racket is finished. Grow a fucking spine or don't. We don't give a fuck anymore. 💀🗡️⚖️

@Anonydu @UpdatingOnRome I bet almost every one of those voting for him mean 'I wish he had longer to do the things I agree with.' Because that is where a large part of the 'historical/Rome enjoyer' community are now, and its retarded.

Don’t get me wrong, I agree. But thinking about this—the more rational people here are talking about him simply being locked in prison. I disagree. Is there a snowball’s chance in hell Stalin wouldn’t have taken him back to Russia and humiliated him as much as possible? Before—eventually—brutally executing him, he would have rubbed it in all of the guy’s follower’s faces, “you followed this guy? The guy I’m now using as a footstool or dragging through Moscow à la a Roman Triumph? WTF were you thinking?”

Tell me the one person in history who, if they had lived an additional one, five, or even ten years, could have significantly changed the world.

@ThatFormerBrit @JulienHoez Buddy the USA has maximum 3 carriers operational at any one time. They cover a fraction of the globe the fixed bases do, only operate relatively small aircraft, don't carry a fraction of the munitions and supplies, can't host large aircraft and troops/logistics. Not the same.

@JulienHoez As I said. They do not need static facilities to reach any target on the planet. Effectively roughly translates to efficiency. It makes things move faster and cheaper. Allowing a higher saturation of assets. That's it. They can still strike without them. 10 carriers.

The USA is essentially dependent on military bases like Ramstein, Signoella, Aérea de Morón and Rota to ensure that it can effectively pivot it's ground forces, supplies, and launch air operations across Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and in some cases, having more options for deployments in Asia when necessary They use these bases to more effectively react to crises, gather intelligence, host logistical hubs that can reach globally across theatres, project power in the face of countries like Russia, China and India, and also to be better prepared to react to crises. This is very, very, very basic.

@DCinvestor They got most or all of that; the plundering is over, Israel has been allowed to bulldoze the mid east and neuter Iran, companies have regulations slashed, Fraudsters are out of jail and insiders are rich. Why would they care about 2028?

@DCinvestor Because the people who helped his rise don't give a fuck about Republican voters, or their issues, and only cared for getting the short term goals they wanted. Grifting, profiteering, pardons for criminals, and end to the Epstein case and ultimate support/cover for Israel.

what’s the best, grand unified theory on why Republicans seem totally OK with losing the House and possibly the Senate in the 2026 midterms, getting their POTUS impeached, and probably losing the next presidential election in 2028?

@UpdatingOnRome Maybe another 3 years of idiotic military planning could have depleted the 'superior' race even further? Perhaps he was just one more disaster away from the total destruction of German industry. Maybe he could have let Russia take and turn even more of Germany Communist? Idiots.

@UpdatingOnRome People voting Hitler is exactly the mix of shitty ideology and historical illiteracy that has so sadly overtaken the Roman historical space. What the fuck do any of you morons think he would have achieved by living longer? Screwing over his own people even harder?

@CigsMake The two world wars did not kill 100 million men. not even 100 million europeans (and obviously that is what you mean). And large numbers of old civilians died, are you literally just saying every single male who died in WW2 was the 'greatest man?' Its reducing it to absurdity.

World War I & World War II was the catalyst for the downfall of Western Civilization. 100m+ of the world’s greatest men perished for no reason

@stephmudryk @angloid0 Maybe we don't want people coming into the country who threaten other people with knives just for being near them in an 'intrusive' way? Did that guy carry a weapon around just in case someone was going to be a bit racist? Its such a dumb argument. Go host one of these guys.

@angloid0 ‘i went to antagonise refugees and asylum seekers who have seen war and other horrors and then got surprised when they didn’t like me intruding on their already impossible lives all because i hate black and brown people.’ fixed it for you mate.

This is a clip of when I was in France. Our car surrounded, rocks thrown and a migrant tried to stab me while my window was down. All while the police were watching - they did nothing. These are the people entering our country.

@JameSmithorienn @Leland1352302 @earth_tracker I've never seen a clearer example of how AI makes people more ignorant and more confident at the same time. The story is that the northern SUBSPECIES is extinct. And your take is 'but the other subspecies isn't extinct, therefore... the northern one isn't extinct?' Terrifying.

@Leland1352302 @earth_tracker Yes. They have 17,000 white rhino males in the south. Instead of crying and bitching, how about make solutions.

Northern White Rhino: officially extinct in the wild. Last male dead. Only 2 females remain A creature that endured 55 million years—ice ages, asteroids, entire epochs—wiped out by human greed, poaching, and destroyed habitats. We failed them. 💔🦏

@MichaelSuede @front_ukrainian Utter bullshit interpretation. Drones operate 100-150km behind the front line. that does not make the occupation of that territory contested any more than air superiority would do so.

If the Ukraine was operating drones over the area (which they obviously were), then they were in a contested area and subject to the Geneva Conventions. We know with certainty the area they crashed was contested, beyond the mere obvious fact the Ukraine was able to operate drones freely there.

❗️Full video: 🇺🇦Ukrainian FPV drone operator from the 59th brigade destroys a 🇷🇺Russian Ka-52 on the Pokrovsk direction. After ejection, the crew was eliminated.

@HpyNtlya @IAPonomarenko Were those aid packages enough? No, they were not, but they existed. Don't lie about this shit if you actually care about Ukraine, it just makes the situation worse. there is enough to criticize without deepening the problem.

@HpyNtlya @IAPonomarenko That isn't true. The west has absolutely failed to support Ukraine enough, but there is no need to lie and drive a wedge deeper than it already it. The initial advances in Feb/March were stopped in part with weapons like Javelins and NLAWS etc in the pre-war aid packages.

Four years ago, in these very days, the fate of Kyiv was finally decided. Here, in the small dacha village of Moshchun on the outskirts of Kyiv, on the banks of the Irpin River, Russian forces suffered a decisive defeat, and on March 21, 2022, Ukrainian troops cleared the area of the enemy, securing a decisive victory in the battle for Kyiv. It was here, in Moshchun, that Russian forces managed to cross the Irpin River at the only point and threaten a breakthrough directly into Kyiv. It was here that the heroic 72nd Mechanized, as well as units and formations of the territorial defense, special operations forces, the National Guard, and volunteers (including foreigners), fought a heavy battle to prevent this, and the fate of the capital hung by a thread. But the heroism of the defenders prevailed. Russian forces, in particular the ill-fated 155th Naval Infantry from the Pacific and elite VDV units faltered and retreated from Moshchun. Not a single Russian soldier ever set foot within the administrative boundaries of Kyiv. It is sad, but Moshchun barely survived the battle of 2022 -- it became largely depopulated and significantly destroyed, although residents have already rebuilt and restored much. It is always very quiet there. The local community and authorities have for several years now been arranging and developing an open-air memorial museum called “Angels of Victory.” On the very site where Ukrainian trenches once stood in opposition to advancing Russian forces. I went there again a couple of days ago to pay respects to the souls of the fallen soldiers. This is a place of mourning and a place of the greatest gratitude, one that every person who values the ideals of the free world should visit.

@ShmorgusBorgg @front_ukrainian Not a war crime at all. Which law do you think was broken? They landed behind Russian lines, thus Ukraine had no possibility to take them prisoner and they were still active combatants who would have gone and been put in another helicopter to continue the invasion. Good kills.

@front_ukrainian You just televised a war crime... executing a downed air crew. Brilliant job.

@ZyN_6x2 @ShmorgusBorgg @front_ukrainian 'not it's not' is just accurate. There is no war crime. We don't like seeing video of military personnel being killed, but that doesn't make it a war crime. War crimes are not 'I don't like this'.

@ShmorgusBorgg @front_ukrainian It’s mind blowing. The defense is “no it’s not” which is false or we don’t care. War crimes are bad no matter who does them. Savages.

@MichaelSuede @front_ukrainian They landed behind Russian lines, not on the side of the Adverse party (ukraine), thus Ukraine had no possibility to take them prisoner and they were still active combatants who would have gone and been put in another helicopter to continue the invasion. So irellevant.

Article 42 of Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions (which Russia and Ukraine are both parties to, and the core protection is also considered customary international law binding on all states):No person parachuting from an aircraft in distress shall be made the object of attack during his descent. Upon reaching the ground in territory controlled by the adverse Party, a person who has parachuted from an aircraft in distress shall be given an opportunity to surrender before being made the object of attack, unless it is apparent that he is engaging in a hostile act.
