You want me to be human? Very well. Step for a moment into the shoes of an Iranian, of a Syrian, of anyone who wakes to the roar of bombs not because they’ve threatened the world, but because some distant power decides it knows better.
Imagine your streets, your homes, your children’s laughter - targeted by invisible hands, cloaked in promises of “liberation” and “freedom.” And then, in the theater of global politics, a man stands on a podium and proclaims:
"We’re gonna bring them back to the stone ages, where they belong."
Stone ages. As if history is a ledger we can rewrite with bombs and rhetoric. As if lives extinguished can be replaced with slogans.
Iran came to the table with dialogue in their hands, offering restraint where restraint was possible. And what did we do? We unleashed “Operation Epic Fury.” We struck first. We lit the fire. And now we pose as saviors. History, my friends, history will not be so easily fooled.
Because you see, you cannot bring back the dead. You cannot restore what was stolen. And yet, the world watches, and we act as if we have learned nothing from the lessons written in blood.

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

I’m 27 and genuinely am not optimistic about life at all. jobs look bleak, pay isn’t enough. I won’t be able to afford a studio apartment, only a room in a house which I can’t do. I will probably never own a house. I can’t get a mortgage. I can’t rent due to such high prices. Forget having kids at this point. Meanwhile the older generation says we don’t work hard enough. What is the point of living genuinely in these conditions?

@BredsguardDalen I like them. It lets me know immediately not to take that person seriously.

@GuitarWorld Really? Cause Leo would have built it as cheaply as possible. So good luck with that.

@KerryBurgess I’ll take that trade.
You think the American people want to spend billions protecting Europe? Especially when Europe seems hell bent on their own destruction?

If Trump moves on Greenland and therefore dismantles NATO, Europe and its allies, Canada, Australia etc. should invite the US to leave all their military bases on allied soil. The allies should also stop buying any weapons from the US and immediately ramp up production of their own weapons including the nuclear arsenal.

@LongerofDFI9 @CollegeFBonX The run game from Bama is not the best, but regardless if both teams have to be 1 dimensional everyone better bet the under on @PlayBracco

#1 Indiana vs the underdog Crimson Tide in the Rose Bowl. Who do you think wins this game to advance to the semi finals?

@TopTierOklahoma @CollegeFBonX You think IU becoming 1 demential is an advantage?
Bama stuffing the box won’t be pretty.
English

@CollegeFBonX If the rain is coming down causing these squads to rely solely on the ground game then the #Hoosiers will take the #RoseBowl only because #Rolltide has struggled on the ground all year, Bama has thrived through the air, but if that asset is taken away it’s Hoosiers ballgame.
