@BladeoftheS @ritustweets It created Hezbollah to invade Lebanon. It’s using the Houthis to take over Yemen. It used the Republican Guard to murder thousands of its own people in just a couple of weeks. You seem utterly clueless.

We are always told Iran is the dangerous aggressor but the last time it invaded anywhere was in 1856.
While Israel are invading 3 countries right now.
And the USA are bombing, starving and imprisoning the leader of 3 different countries.
Who is really the dangerous aggressor?

@ProfDBernstein @MaxNordau No. He teaches in high school. Even worse!!!

“You can’t grow crops in a 35 degree slope!”
Indigenous people 500 years ago:
Sama Hoole@SamaHoole
Activist: "The water usage for beef is obscene. Thousands of litres per kilogram." Farmer: "That's rainfall." Activist: "What?" Farmer: "The figure includes all the rain that falls on the pasture. The cows drink from the stream. The rain falls whether there's a cow here or not." Activist: "It's still water consumption." Farmer: "Should I stop the rain falling on my field?" Activist: "Grow crops instead. More efficient." Farmer: "This is a 35-degree slope in the Welsh hills. Show me the crop." Activist: "Technology..." Farmer: "To make tractors climb mountains?" Activist: "There must be a solution." Farmer: "There is. It's called a cow." Activist: [checks phone]

Iran has kept the Straight of Hormuz toll-free for decades despite being vilified, sanctioned, and Isolated.
Egypt charges $300,000 – $700,000+ per transit through the Suez Canal. Ultra-large container ships or tankers can exceed $1 million.
Panama charges $150,000 – $450,000 per transit. Large Neopanamax ships cost up to $500,000+ to pass the Panama Canal.
Turkey charges fees for the Bosporus Strait.
Canada charges fees for the St Lawrence Seaway.
The United States charges for the St Lawrence Seaway.
But Iran is a bad country.

@footballmemorys You don’t see players wearing to their shirts outside the shorts anymore. It was common before. Did they ban it?

@quiquejuesas @futbolretroes Solo lo conozco del Mundial de España. Creo que Carrasco fue mejor por lo que ví. Qué es poco.

@rumbletoe @futbolretroes Hombre vamos! López Ufarte era un fenómeno.

¿Ubicarías a Lobo Carrasco entre los mejores futbolistas españoles de la historia? Si es así, ¿en qué posición?

@ParkerPhonics You mean Jews consider themselves 'God's chosen people.' But you can't say it. Because you know that's racist?
English
Here's how deluded most Israelis are. They can support doing this to Gaza (and now Lebanon as well), yet at the same time, they consider themselves "God's Chosen People."

Gaza. Completely flattened and destroyed. Over 70,000 dead. Over 20,000 children dead. There is no justification for this. None whatsoever.

@futbolretroes En su posición, de los mejores. Para mí por detrás de Gento, Gaínza, Gorostiza, Chechu Rojo y López Ufarte. Y de su nivel, José María, el del Español y Argote. No se me ocurre ninguno más mejor que él en su puesto.

@bestofstarwar Not at all. The Falcon was bait to lure Luke out from Dagobah.
English
In ESB, Vader was obsessed with chasing the Falcon because he thought Luke was on it. He was sensing the Force, but who he was sensing was actually Leia.

What is a fan theory from a movie that you 100% believe is true?

@mcsquared34 Hezbollah is Iranian. Not Lebanese. Why is Iran in Lebanon since 1982?
English
@FB_viktor Exactly. Which is very pathetic. This generation seems to be raising half bakes who don't really read extensive on history but follow what someone says on social media, projecting it as true knowledge as other half bakes clap and fall for their spuriousness

@mrubin1971 When did Ceuta or Melilla belong to the Kingdom of Morocco?

@eurofounder @_nwblacksmith Actually no, they would not. Not even that.

@_nwblacksmith Name one innovation that came from the US. If it wasn't for Europe, you would be riding horses

My cousin Dietrich is one of the best paid engineers in Germany
He makes €41,000 a year before tax
Last week he got an offer from a big tech company in the US that would net him $350,000
"Are you going to take it?" I asked him
"It's a good offer, but I would actually earn less than now"
He is right. In Europe, he makes €41,000 and gets:
- Free healthcare
- Strong privacy protections
- Diversity
- Pension benefits
If you count this in, it's much more than $350,000
European salaries are the highest in the world if you adjust for quality of life
