@CryptoTice_ The USA must be in REALLY bad shape to have these constant lies out there. Sad, sad end to a country.

BREAKING:
China just abandoned Iran's oil.
And started buying from Alaska.
The country that armed Iran.
That defied U.S. sanctions on Iranian oil.
Is now buying American oil instead.
Why?
Alaska is closer. Hormuz is closed. Iran is unreliable.
Trump didn't just close the Strait.
He redirected Chinese oil demand to American soil.
Iran loses its biggest customer. America gains it.
The financial blockade didn't just hurt Iran.
It forced China to buy American.
This is not luck. This is chess.
And Trump just took the queen.

@NewLeftRadio @acoyne from what I understand it was the cost of the war in combination with the so called 'great society' initiative
English
@DD4867 @acoyne America's fate was sealed with the Vietnam war. That they had to abandon the gold standard and then do a backdoor deal with Saudi Arabia to keep the dollar afloat says it all. In today's dollars, that war cost over $1 Trillion versus $188 Billion for Ukraine. Ukraine is nothing.
English
@acoyne now that the west's wealth has been thrown away on Ukraine, and the economy damaged beyond repair by our covid response
we plan to resist the CCP assimilation of Taiwan?
how, exactly?
English
Just an utter and unmitigated disaster. He has got himself into a mess, has no clue what to do, and wants the rest of the world to bail him out.
The sum total of the effort: not only $25 billion in costs and a depleted US missile arsenal, but the loss of US credibility and an Iranian regime that is more radical than ever, more entrenched than ever, and in some ways more powerful than ever, having possession of not just all of their nuclear material, but also the Strait of Hormuz. Hard to think of a more complete catastrophe.

@jasonjamesbnn @village_whisper That must be why there are no American stores or American products on the shelves in Canada. Oh wait, American garbage is everywhere in Canada, you dolt!
English
JD Vance explains the true nature of Canada's relationship to the United States, and that's one of a parasitic welfare state clinging to the American Empire with nothing substantial to offer.
Free trade means free trade. It means zero tariffs. Yet, Canada tariffs virtually every product the US imports into the country.
A military alliance means both countries contribute to the defense of their nations. Yet, Canada relies on American subsidies for their military and still relies on the United States to guard the Canadian Arctic.
And in the end, how did Canada thank the United States for accepting lopsided trade agreements and billions in military protection? The Carney Liberals entered into a "strategic partnership" with China when Trump asked them to start carrying some of their own weight.
It's absurd what Canadians think they can get away with. Elbows up is the battle cry of the terminally delusional; Canadians who believe they can keep ripping off their benefactor without ever bringing anything of value to the table.
Oil and gas were our one redeeming quality. When we decided there was no "business case" for exporting our most valuable resource, that's when the American bill came due.
You get what you pay for, Canada.
Gunther Eagleman™@GuntherEagleman
Vance just highlighted how Canada has SCREWED America for decades under weak leadership, which also explains exactly why Trump has done what he did. "Canada has taken advantage of the United States of America for far too long. And they've taken advantage of the United States in a couple of different ways."

Before this is over the US will be sending weapons to Iran.

@acoyne What is it about Canadians going down south and turning into idiots?

This year’s prize for distinguished bar-lowering goes to…
Acyn@Acyn
Roberts: The battle for Okinawa, one island, took 86 days and 250,000 casualties. So, for gas prices to go up a little bit and raising so much concern—think of how much worse it was in World War II than what we’re facing now.
English
@acoyne The MAGA alpha male crowd go on about being tough and disciplining children etc , yet they support a child that was obviously never disciplined while he destroys not only the USA but the world. Fools.
English
Again: not just the worst president ever, but the worst it is possible to imagine.
Rick Wilson@TheRickWilson
You know, in the end, Trump’s name will be synonymous for the single most evil and destructive person to ever hold the Presidency, and it won’t even be close. “I killed 500,000 people by botching COVID, wrecked our economy with a foolish trade war, set loose murderous domestic secret police, ripped off Americans in billion-dollar crypto scams, covered Epstein, sold out our allies, started a second Great Depression and World War III” is a hell of a resume.

@SophiaCai99 @dlippman We're talking about the guy that ran a company that cancelled payments to his employees that died in 9/11 a mere 4 days after the attacks.

NEW: Lutnick in hot water w/ @dlippman
- Trump confronted Lutnick at Mar-a-Lago over the holidays over how much money Lutnick’s sons were making
- Cabinet members and senior WH officials wary of his brash and controlling style. “No one’s allowed to talk to the interagency without Howard giving explicit approval.”
- He’s developed reputation for jumping into deals w/ little expertise and not enforcing follow thru with companies and countries on the $18 trillion in pledged investments
- One example: The Department of Energy had spent months negotiating a nuclear reactor deal with Westinghouse when Lutnick arrived and began negotiating directly with Westinghouse instead, catching Energy Secretary Chris Wright by surprise. politico.com/news/2026/02/2…

@clashreport @grok who originally posted this video on the Internet and where?
English
Pete Hegseth bench pressing 315 pounds (~143 kg) during a military gym session.

🚨He started as a teacher.
Now he’s worth millions.
And we’re supposed to believe this all adds up?🤔

@StateDept @SecRubio I can explain the new era. The USA is now garbage and can feck off! Bye jackass!
English
.@SecRubio: "The world is changing very fast right in front of us. The old world is gone ... We live in a new era in geopolitics, and it's going to require all of us to sort of re-examine what that looks like and what our role is going to be."
English
@priyaee You are a disgusting pile, aren't you? As someone that studies music, very little compares to his latest album. But people like you want to make America mediocre again because you are full of hate. You Are Pathetic. Loser. Feck off, as they say.
English
As expected, the halftime show was anti-American garbage performed in a foreign language, with horrible dancing, and a bunch of messaging that nobody cares about.
One of these days the NFL is going to stop rejecting their fan base and start re-embracing patriotism for THIS country.
English
@acoyne They are as pathetic as the GOP. Two clown parties. Can they never get on with business?!?
English
A simple “I’m a proud and patriotic Canadian, and will fight to my last breath against any attempt to weaken, divide or destroy it” would suffice.
The Hill Times@TheHillTimes
Nearly all Alberta Tory MPs are declining to comment on the province's separation talk, saying they do not want to give it more oxygen, and don't want to undermine Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's chances of forming government in the next election. hilltimes.com/story/2026/02/…

@northwoods8000 @BrettFavre Yeah that's why his good songs have like 14 different chords etc while Kid Dork uses two chords. No talent. You are a joke.
English
@BrettFavre Bad Bunny is a cross dressing talent-free racist who recently stated he doesn't want white people listening. A ridiculous man who pretends to be a woman.
English
Not familiar with Bad Bunny so don’t know if his music is good or bad. I’m just going to watch what I know Lee Brice, Kid Rock All-American Halftime Show.
