Livin' in the new world with an old soul

Fathers are one of the two most important factors in a child's life.

@White_Pr1me Twist: It's not their yard.

@Moon_River05 @UnitedCanucks26 Oh no, she busted out the word periods. Look out boys!

@UnitedCanucks26 Absolutely!!!! All bets were off at the very mention of annexing. We. Will. Respond.

I was told that because I’m Canadian, I should mind my business about American politics. I responded back: when your president threatened Canada’s sovereignty, it became my business. What do you think? Do Canadians have the right to speak about American politics? 🇨🇦

@larroumecj I think you meant "تحيا فرنسا، تحيا أوروبا"

In case anybody missed it, France is actively preparing for a post Pax Americana world. In the last 6 months: ∙ Aircraft carrier “France Libre”: 80,000-ton nuclear carrier, largest warship ever built in Europe announced, €10-12 billion ∙ Nuclear arsenal expansion: first warhead increase in 30+ years, stockpile size now classified, forward-basing on allied territory authorized ∙ European nuclear umbrella: “forward deterrence” doctrine with 8 partners (Germany, UK, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Sweden, Denmark) ∙ UK-France nuclear pact: joint strategy consultations, joint submarine patrols, joint R&D since July 2025 ∙ 140 Rafale sold to India: 26 Rafale Marine ($7.5B, April 2025) + 114 Rafale for air force ($39B, cleared January 2026), largest Indian arms deal ever ∙ World’s 2nd largest arms exporter: 9.8% global share (SIPRI, March 2026), up 21%, replacing Russia ∙ Gold repatriation: 129 tonnes sold at the NY Fed, repurchased in Paris, entire 2,437-tonne reserve now in France, €12.8B profit ∙ €36B defense spending increase: budget to reach €64B by 2027, two years ahead of schedule ∙ Strait of Hormuz: leading EU escort mission, 19 of 23 major warships deployed to Mediterranean/Gulf. On April 3, a French-owned CMA CGM vessel became the first Western European ship to transit the strait since Iran closed it ∙ New SSBN “L’Invincible”: next-generation nuclear ballistic missile submarine announced ∙ JEWEL program: sovereign European space-based missile early warning system ∙ ELSA initiative: Franco-British-German long-range conventional strike missile program ∙ SAMP/T NG air defense: next-gen surface-to-air system, Denmark and Ukraine already buyers ∙ 14 EPR2 nuclear reactors planned: largest nuclear construction program in Western Europe ∙ Africa strategy reset: new Africa-France Summit in Nairobi, post-withdrawal from Sahel ∙ 2025 National Strategic Review: new strategic objective on scientific and technological sovereignty (AI, quantum, nuclear propulsion) Ready to lead Europe into a path of independence.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Vive la France, vive l’Europe

@TheQuartering Leftists abandoned X because they could no longer control the narrative. Who's fault is it they took their ball and left?

Unpopular Opinion: X has actually become a right wing echo chamber. Between US paid shills and foreigners pretending to care about right wing politics, I almost never see left wing opinions anymore.

@drealEjaySwitch @chakravartiiin Oh no, one less African stinking up our subways.

@chakravartiiin Real

American citizens will finally understand how it feels to be sanctioned.

@chakravartiiin k, street shitter

@Landeur @CynicalPublius > imports hordes of non assimilating 3rd world Muslims ""How could Americs do this?"

@CynicalPublius Please just take your bases and leave. Europe needs to stand on its own two feet, for sure. We outsourced our security to America. But that outsourcing was a catastrophe. The entire continent has been invaded and destroyed under your 'protection'. For the love of God, go.

457 British soldiers died in Afghanistan, many more wounded. Why? Because America came under attack and we answered the call. If you treat allies who bled for you with such utter disdain, you will lose them for good. Even those who generally like America.

As an Iranian watching this rescue mission unfold, I was praying the American pilot would make it out alive, not just for him, but so the Islamic Republic could not use him as a bargaining chip or claim some twisted “victory.” At the same time, I felt a deep envy. Your government sent elite special forces, million-dollar aircraft, and moved heaven and earth to bring one American home. No hesitation. No excuses. In Iran, the regime uses human shields and recruited child soldiers to clear minefields during the Iran-Iraq war. They treat their own people like disposable tools. They are now recruiting child soldiers as we speak. The Islamic Republic has zero regard for human life. That’s the brutal difference. One side risks everything to save their own. The other sacrifices their own to stay in power. This hits hard when you have lived under both realities.

@SenWarren She assumes normal people pay to view that leftist rag.

Donald Trump did this:

@BostonByBirth @BruceWaynePaul1 There are natural changes, and there are changes engineered by certain power groups to demographically change, and weaken our society. What happened to Boston was the latter.

@BruceWaynePaul1 There will always be changes.

I love Boston. As a fourth-generation guy from Eastie, I’ll always hold that affinity. The demographics have changed — that’s okay. I’ll always steward my city, but I’m so sad at see the current state of its political landscape. The city is in severe trouble.

Have you ever heard what Brian Krassenstein sounds like? Now you do. 🤣

@Rubybenson97 @JimH8sPolitics @lockySMITH_NZ @LibertyCappy Sorry we're attacking an Ally of yours. How's that Navy doing? Sad you guys once ruled 1/4 of the world and now control only an island the size of one US state. How many Muhameds you got in your kid's school?

@JimH8sPolitics @willisan @lockySMITH_NZ @LibertyCappy How's your war with Iran going? Do you think this will finally be a war you win?

The Japanese have been making videos showing Britain how to solve their problems God bless Japan! 🇯🇵

Appeasement and surrender to totalitarian regimes are such key French government diplomatic skills.

@BSDetector89 @jbendery Catholic?

@willisan @jbendery Yep

NEW: The Pentagon today invited more than 3,500 employees to attend a Good Friday service at its in-house chapel. Except it’s only for Protestants, not Catholics. huffpost.com/entry/news-liv…

@Ninja3ft129735 @LibertyCappy Whatever the IRA did was to further their cause of Irish reunifincation....not to help the Reich

@willisan @LibertyCappy qub.ac.uk/sites/frankrya…

@BSDetector89 @jbendery Are you a practicing Christian?

@willisan @jbendery Well then someone needs to call Pope Leo and tell him he got that shit wrong today, because your parish decided. You googled it and took the first answer that appeared to suit your view. The liturgy and the sacrament are not the same thing.

@defpac76381 @jbendery You are playing right into bluesky lady's hand.

@Ninja3ft129735 @LibertyCappy Working to expel a 600+ year occupier was not "helping nazis."

@willisan @LibertyCappy Weren't you guys helping the Nazis??

@laststarftr @Susan16Park Right, because democrats never bomb countries.

@Susan16Park They do. Keep in mind 49.9% of us knew he was a disaster and didn't vote for him. But his party is in power. At least until January assuming the other side wins the midterms.

I don’t think the average American has any clue the amount of pain and destruction their country has caused the rest of the world.
