This guy is running for Wyoming's only seat in the US House and he's a real-life cartoon. One of his main priorities is to "ban sharia law." For context, there are less than 300 Muslims in the entire state of Wyoming.

“download speeds are slower than in Romania” mind you Romania has one of the fastest internet speeds in THE WORLD

Phone signal in Britain is now so bad, download speeds are slower than in Kazakhstan, Cambodia and Romania. 96pc of the country covered by 4G, so why is it so hard to connect? ⤵️ telegraph.co.uk/money/consumer…

@BasedRomania @Brahmbeere @Tr0llyTr0llFace Twitter ain't always the best place for these types of discussions.
English
“stalin proposed an anti-nazi alliance but France and Great Britain refused”
*Looks inside the proposal*
“The Baltics, Finland and Poland should gracefully accept russian military occupation”
English
@Kit19892 @Brahmbeere @Tr0llyTr0llFace The picture that is already evident in memoirs of the era is that from the start there were political forces who wanted their Axis-aligned countries out of the war they were forced to join, and had the means to do it.
English
@Kit19892 @Brahmbeere @Tr0llyTr0llFace Wrong question to ask. The better question is: how would Romania have been able to help the Western Allies in 1943? Hint: the same way we ended up helping them in 1945 (and all we got for our trouble was to have our country turned into an open air concentration camp by Stalin).
English
@JohnLembrant @polidemitolog The difference is that for Eastern Europeans it was not the result of a choice. Germany actively pursued the policy that landed those outcomes.
A German can always tell to himself: as long as we keep our head down, the large powers will leave us alone. Not so in Eastern Europe.
English
@polidemitolog Where do you place Germany on this map. Started 2 WWs, lost both, had their cities destroyed, Germans got chased out of half of europe, their country occupied, their country divided, their country made the chief chessboard between a geopolitical rivalry between to foreign powers.
English
A fundamental difference between Eastern and Western Europe is that the level of suffering has been much higher in the East, even within our lifetime. Eastern European centrists do not have the luxury of safety and prosperity to weep over distant abstractions. Their priority is to bring order and progress to their own backyard.
English
@PossumGuy2025 @SpaghettiKozak I've long theorized that much of the "enthusiasm for another ethnicity's liberation struggle" is simply the way "enlightened Westerners" get to enjoy the visceral joy of ethno-nationalism without the late 20th century stigma associated with this being about your own ethnos.

@c28why @rpotter_9 A real eye opening experience for Eastern Europeans has been to observe the Western "right-wing" turn into the Stalin-era Western far-left in real time when it comes to us, specifically.

@rpotter_9 I recently wondered if Gray had seen the error of his view that Ukrainian resistance was futile. Apparently not. What will it take?
English
Spoken like a man who has never seen a Russian meat assault first hand. They really are getting smashed. You can see the video of almost all of the hits in the delta platform. Ukraine records all of the footage and has done for years.
English
@Kit19892 @Brahmbeere @Tr0llyTr0llFace Future historians will need to do research in what's left of Eastern European archives. We know for certain that the Romanian side tried to actively contact the Western Allies for negotiations as early as 1943, but the Americans pursued total Stalinist victory as a goal.

@JazzBulgaria Let's be perfectly honest here, Russia was not fighting for free independent nations, they wanted to expand their empire all the way down to Greece and Anatolia.
English
In 2018, Patriarch Kirill stood inside Bulgaria’s presidency and lectured Radev for acknowledging that Poles, Finns, Romanians and others also fought in Bulgaria’s liberation.
Eight years later, Radev says Bulgaria will veto the next EU sanctions package if Kirill is included…
English
@ConspiracyBull1 I've had it with these "far-right" people who slobber over Russia. They do this whole cute "let's bravely question everything we've been taught to believe about WWII", and the best policy they can come up with is to ...give half of Europe to Russia (again).
English
I'm pretty sure it's more in Russia's interests for Europe to be destroyed and is doing more geopolitically and hybridly to accomplish that objective than Israel.
But that's not a honest conversation the Far-Right wants to have.

@majkibas @ShaunPinnerUA Had Russia taken Kyiv in 3 days, all former Iron Curtain states would have been under Kremlin-friendly leadership (out of traditional cowardice and political opportunism).
English
@ShaunPinnerUA I support Ukraine's heroic fight for freedom, but this propaganda narrative of the European shield is greatly exaggerated.
English
I struggle to see how Nawrocki is advancing Poland’s strategic interests by escalating disputes with a country that is currently acting as Europe’s eastern shield against Russian aggression.
Whether one agrees with every decision made in Kyiv is beside the point. In 2022, Russia’s stated ambitions extended far beyond the territories it now occupies, and many in Central and Eastern Europe viewed Ukraine’s resistance as the barrier preventing a much wider confrontation.
Poland has legitimate historical grievances and every right to discuss them. The question is whether now is the moment to make those disputes the centre of the relationship while a war continues on its border, and if so, who that actually benefits?

Polish President Karol Nawrocki is sacrificing European security just to score cheap domestic points against Donald Tusk.

@Ania_In_UA Western society celebrates events and figures that are reviled by Eastern Europeans, yet collectively we express no displeasure at this, nor do they feel the need to reconsider their views.

"UPA is not a new issue. Many Ukrainian cities have streets named after UPA and its leaders, and so are some its military units. This was not a reason for major diplomatic crises in the past three decades."
Conveniently, it becomes a huge issue precisely before the elections.
Yaroslav Trofimov@yarotrof
The decision by Zelensky to name a military unit after the “Heroes of UPA” is at the root of the biggest crisis in Ukrainian-Polish relations in decades. To most Ukrainians today, UPA (Ukrainian Insurgent Army) is remembered for their lonely resistance against Moscow’s rule that lasted until the mid-1950s. In Poland, UPA is mostly remembered for the horrible massacres that occurred in Volhynia in 1943, one of the darkest pages in Ukrainian-Polish ties. UPA had heroes and UPA had war criminals in its ranks. Most importantly, they are almost all dead by now. There is a very different war going on today, a war against Ukraine but also a war that threatens Poland. UPA is not a new issue. Many Ukrainian cities have streets named after UPA and its leaders, and so are some its military units. This was not a reason for major diplomatic crises in the past three decades. President Nawrocki deciding to issue a public ultimatum to Zelensky, instead of quiet diplomacy, ensured that the Ukrainian decision about the “Heroes of UPA” regiment became irreversible. Ukraine is waging a war with a colonial power that seeks to wipe out its identity and history. Its government wasn’t going to allow another — former — colonial power to issue ultimatums on how to remember the past. Now it’s not just about Zelensky. All the living Ukrainian presidents who have received the same White Eagle order — Kuchma, Yushchenko and Poroshenko — have returned them to Warsaw. Now what? Now Moscow is savoring the best geopolitical news it has had for years. Nobody except Russia benefits when Kyiv and Warsaw squabble. 🇵🇱🇺🇦

Paul Goma a făcut demersuri să se înroleze voluntar în armată în contextul în care exista amenințarea ca țara să fie invadată.
Spunea el, a sta în picioare fie și doar 24 de ore sau doar 25 de minute era de preferat unei capitulări lipsite de demnitate.

@ZarinaZabrisky Where's the lie, though? The Western decision to give half of Europe to Stalin in WWII because they demanded nothing less than Germany's unconditional capitulation is precisely why we are living through another Russian invasion of Europe.

Another fascist manifesto has arrived.
“The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will…”
Palantir@PalantirTech
Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense of the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public. 4. The limits of soft power, of soaring rhetoric alone, have been exposed. The ability of free and democratic societies to prevail requires something more than moral appeal. It requires hard power, and hard power in this century will be built on software. 5. The question is not whether A.I. weapons will be built; it is who will build them and for what purpose. Our adversaries will not pause to indulge in theatrical debates about the merits of developing technologies with critical military and national security applications. They will proceed. 6. National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost. 7. If a U.S. Marine asks for a better rifle, we should build it; and the same goes for software. We should as a country be capable of continuing a debate about the appropriateness of military action abroad while remaining unflinching in our commitment to those we have asked to step into harm’s way. 8. Public servants need not be our priests. Any business that compensated its employees in the way that the federal government compensates public servants would struggle to survive. 9. We should show far more grace towards those who have subjected themselves to public life. The eradication of any space for forgiveness—a jettisoning of any tolerance for the complexities and contradictions of the human psyche—may leave us with a cast of characters at the helm we will grow to regret. 10. The psychologization of modern politics is leading us astray. Those who look to the political arena to nourish their soul and sense of self, who rely too heavily on their internal life finding expression in people they may never meet, will be left disappointed. 11. Our society has grown too eager to hasten, and is often gleeful at, the demise of its enemies. The vanquishing of an opponent is a moment to pause, not rejoice. 12. The atomic age is ending. One age of deterrence, the atomic age, is ending, and a new era of deterrence built on A.I. is set to begin. 13. No other country in the history of the world has advanced progressive values more than this one. The United States is far from perfect. But it is easy to forget how much more opportunity exists in this country for those who are not hereditary elites than in any other nation on the planet. 14. American power has made possible an extraordinarily long peace. Too many have forgotten or perhaps take for granted that nearly a century of some version of peace has prevailed in the world without a great power military conflict. At least three generations — billions of people and their children and now grandchildren — have never known a world war. 15. The postwar neutering of Germany and Japan must be undone. The defanging of Germany was an overcorrection for which Europe is now paying a heavy price. A similar and highly theatrical commitment to Japanese pacifism will, if maintained, also threaten to shift the balance of power in Asia. 16. We should applaud those who attempt to build where the market has failed to act. The culture almost snickers at Musk’s interest in grand narrative, as if billionaires ought to simply stay in their lane of enriching themselves . . . . Any curiosity or genuine interest in the value of what he has created is essentially dismissed, or perhaps lurks from beneath a thinly veiled scorn. 17. Silicon Valley must play a role in addressing violent crime. Many politicians across the United States have essentially shrugged when it comes to violent crime, abandoning any serious efforts to address the problem or take on any risk with their constituencies or donors in coming up with solutions and experiments in what should be a desperate bid to save lives. 18. The ruthless exposure of the private lives of public figures drives far too much talent away from government service. The public arena—and the shallow and petty assaults against those who dare to do something other than enrich themselves—has become so unforgiving that the republic is left with a significant roster of ineffectual, empty vessels whose ambition one would forgive if there were any genuine belief structure lurking within. 19. The caution in public life that we unwittingly encourage is corrosive. Those who say nothing wrong often say nothing much at all. 20. The pervasive intolerance of religious belief in certain circles must be resisted. The elite’s intolerance of religious belief is perhaps one of the most telling signs that its political project constitutes a less open intellectual movement than many within it would claim. 21. Some cultures have produced vital advances; others remain dysfunctional and regressive. All cultures are now equal. Criticism and value judgments are forbidden. Yet this new dogma glosses over the fact that certain cultures and indeed subcultures . . . have produced wonders. Others have proven middling, and worse, regressive and harmful. 22. We must resist the shallow temptation of a vacant and hollow pluralism. We, in America and more broadly the West, have for the past half century resisted defining national cultures in the name of inclusivity. But inclusion into what?

Jay is a liar. Obviously a lot of work went into Hungarians being squeezed into their present territory as pictured, but this is exactly why 9 decades of relentless linguistic assimilation and persecution has to be ended.

@gorans2512 @Andric1961 "The lesson of Nazism is that every other crime against humanity should be permitted because we can never compare anything to Nazism, ever".
English
@Andric1961 You should have kept the answer quiet. Equating Nazism with anything else is shameful.
English
The naivety displayed here is typical for our time. Study the history of WWII and ask yourself: How did the Allies beat Nazi-Germany? By saying: "Please, dear Nazis, stop what you are doing?" No. By killing German soldiers. This was not bloodthirsty. It was what times demanded.
Mila Djordjevic@milazdjordjevic
A German journalist at a prominent German newspaper says: "Every additional Russian soldier killed, whether young or old, is a step towards peace." Whatever your opinion of the war in Ukraine, this kind of bloodthirst among journalist is deeply disturbing.
