My personal plan for the Anglosphere: 1) Enter a customs union with free movement. 2) Create a unified military command. 3) When we have the political momentum and our countries are sane again, federate. US can be divided into 4-5 regions for purposes of federal representation.

@StefanMolyneux Africa will not tolerate any kind of cultural change. No amount of spending will correct that.

@SandyofCthulhu @ArthurBoreman I think they miss that bread just isn't the same level of staple in the US. An American wouldn't consider a baguette with butter and jam a proper breakfast.

I can get pretzel buns, sourdough (with no sugar), focaccia, pumpernickel, challah, matzo, pita, and baguettes at my local not-very-big store. I can also get cheese bread, potato bread, tortillas, and naan. And hawaiian rolls. A specialty European bakery probably has more variety - but an American specialty bakery has more variety too, and I count 19 different bakeries in my town.

Is every single person have some sort of mental illness about American bread? Here is a “sourdough” loaf, baked and sold AT WALMART. It has ZERO grams of added sugar, less than may French baguettes in France…

@RealPostFolder American here, yes our "bread" is junk food The closest we have to actual bread is in the bakery section and even that stuff has added ingredients not found in real bread

@DanTalks1 My position is that Trump is mercurial at best, sociopathic at worst. He can't take criticism from anyone and that is the issue. Our strategic interests around the globe should be bigger than his fragile ego. If he, or you, feel humiliated I would argue that is more about you.

Yes its very good, much better than before. Just so we're clear, your position is that other countries who are much weaker than the US and who rely on the US and are dependent on the US for many things, should be able to insult and humiliate America with no downsides.
Bill Medley@wcmed4

@DanTalks1 You do realize that we are the most powerful country in history? And our current leader has the mindset that if some other country’s leader criticizes us we should immediately threaten to punish them? And you like that? His being a toddler shouldn’t be a point of pride.

@DanTalks1 Tolerating the insults of inferiors is the new winning. "Don't piss off people that can fuck you up" and the corollary: "You don't have to take their shit if you can fuck them up" is wisdom lost to the ages.

@MosiniElisa Given the average gain of + €23,000 for German citizens, I can see why @LukasSieperMdEP is so vocal in favour of German imperial hegemony over Europe. But I don't understand the Italians, the French or the exploited Greeks — the losers of the Euro GAME. x.com/NXT4EU/status/…

@JasonKrono20230 @MosiniElisa Buying a warship is expensive. Taxes would have to be raised. Benefits would have to be cut. Politicians can run on "no cuts, no tax increases". Thus ends the super state.

@MosiniElisa European nations have hated each others guts for thousands of years. As evidenced by thousands of years of them slaughtering each other. This time it’ll be different, right? Hint: you’re killing each other right now. Did you hear that? Another euro just died in the war.

Europe has... Silently set the first step towards a European Army? 10 European countries have agreed to create a joint Maritime Force to protect critical infrastructure at sea, and to deter Russia, and even the US. Canada is also considering joining.

Somewhere along the way, “I want a family and a home” became “I will buy my own yacht and call loneliness empowerment.” Great work, feminism.

“Iran isn’t why your rent is high, focus on domestic issues!” Iran’s fire-sale oil to China (Venezuela 2.0) lets Beijing buy crude at a massive discount, freeing up billions to pump fentanyl into the US. This “ignore the world and just fix my backyard” take is peak toddler bullshit: “If I close my eyes the monsters disappear and my allowance goes up!”

Tim Dillon: “Is Iran the reason that no one can afford a house? Is Iran the reason that there's fentanyl everywhere? When your insurance won't cover a knee operation is your main concern Iran? This is the craziest sh*t I've ever heard.”

@general_ben Amazing to read the comments, it's a mix of "good riddance", "helps Russia", and "NATO doesn't need the US". Clearly the Euros think they have it handled. They don't, but whatever.

@Brick_Suit @johnkonrad I think there are two simultaneous approaches here: build domestic capacity long-term, and fill the short term gaps with foreign capacity.

@johnkonrad What do you rate our chances of getting a modern shipyard designed from the ground up to take advantage of robotics? Because I don't think we are going to be able to out compete foreign shipyards with our current workforce.

Take a deep breath. Really deep. Fill your lungs. Now exhale. Hold your breath until your lungs are reedy to explode. Then repeat. Now imagine that your lungs get 5% smaller each time you do this. Now imagine you are standing in a stadium with 50,000 people watching you slowly die. You are getting tired but refuse to succumb. Refuse to even kneel. That’s how it feels to be a supporter of shipbuilding during this administration. The thrill and excitement of walking into the stadium for the first time and your issue taking center stage. Fits of joy at each major milestone. Then long periods of nothing. You stand on the pitches mound waiting for the team to tun out from the dugout. You wait for the umpire to walk out with the game ball. Waiting for the game to start. It never happens. Trump has done more for American shipbuilding than any President since Nixon. He uncovered the grounds. He turned on the lights. He set up the scoreboard. He paid the salaries. And he filled the stadium with fans eager to cheers. The Maritime Executive Order The White House Maritime Action Plan The reintroduction of the SHIPs for America Act Hegseth’s Arsenal of Freedom Tour New energy at MARAD in DOT Navy acquisition reform OMB, Labor, Treasury, Energy and Commerce ready to pitch in All the pieces of the puzzle are on the table ready to be assembled. And yet nothing is getting built. The problem is shipbuilding requires a monumental all of government approach. It’s not a Mavy problem or a Merchant Marine problem or a USCG problem or a Steel, or UN, or alliances or whatever It’s a truly all of government problem. All the players are ready but we have no manager calling a huddle and walking everyone out to the field. The outgoing secretary of the Navy John Phelan did a lot of good, but he never called that huddle. Will Hung Cao? He has the enthusiasm and passion and ability to lead the team. Problem is he has an enormous Navy to run. Hung Cao needs a manager, a pitching coach, a batting coach… a small cadre of guys who really understand shipbuilding. Not just Naval shipbuilding but the entire landscape of commercial, finance, trades, union, allies best practices, and all the levers of government available. Now is the time. It shouldn’t have to be the duty of @SECNAV to hold this much water but every other department tasked (except OMB) has stood their and watched as opportunity after opportunity sailed by. There is still enough excitement for shipbuilding to start the game but the pitcher is quickly running out of breaths. The game needs to start asap and @HungCao_VA has the last chance before the midterms to start the show.

@ChrisMartzWX People think SS is like a savings account. Instead it's the government paying someone else from your paycheck, and saying "trust me, were going to make somebody pay for you when it's time."

Let me grab some crayons. 🖍️ I’ll explain this to you like you’re five. The money you paid into Social Security has already been SPENT. 💸 Puff the magic dragon, it is gone. Your money is not kept in a lockbox just for you to earn interest and pay ya back when you become age-eligible to receive the benefits. 🚫 🗃️ It’s not a retirement fund. The money you get in return comes out of the paychecks of currently working people vis payroll taxes. Beneficiaries will often (albeit not always) get more in return than they paid in. And because the ratio of workers to retirees has shrunk from 16:1 in 1960 to 2:1 today, there aren’t enough workers pitching in to keep the pool of funds filled. So, the government has to borrow money they don’t have to make up the difference. The Treasury’s BEP then prints money to try compensating for the debt, which then causes inflation. 🖨️ 💵 = 📉 💵 value = 📈 💰 costs You have bought into FDR’s scam hook, line, and sinker. All the more reason it should have been privatized a long time ago.

I got a chance to sit down with my BDE SHARP team for reasons. Went in the office and the last chair was in the corner and I said without thinking, "oh man! I'm in the cuck chair!" Then I had to explain to the SHARP team what a cuck chair was. Now we are having a different conversation.

@NeonPrinceps @euromaximal Imagine two politicians: one is going to raise your taxes, cut your benefits, and build a military for Brussels. The other one isn't. Now keep running that experiment for every country for every election cycle.

@FoghJohn @euromaximal I’m advocating this: Brussels should be able to compel everyone to build up the military and to cut benefits if necessary, and also to deploy European troops in every theater. You should also consider that until 1861, within Italy there were actual kingdoms and state entities.

A more united Europe is a necessity for the survival of individual European nations. There’s no way each country could survive when hegemonic empires like Russia, China and the US have so much power. Only united does Europe have a chance 🇪🇺
