@Osint613 Shouldn't be based on GDP, should be a per capita flat fee.
English
Trump is reportedly considering a NATO overhaul, suggesting a “pay-to-play” system where members spending under 5% of GDP on defense could lose influence over key decisions, including military action. - The Telegraph

Jason, business leaders from your industry and others speak to The New York Times, as they have for years, because our reporters produce insightful, fair reporting that illuminates audiences everywhere. We're not publicists and we're not promoting anyone's pitch deck.

Founders: take my advice... do not talk to the press, go direct and do long-form podcasts. Wired and the NYT are as biased as Fox News and MSNOW these days This is a function of their need to pander to one side to survive, be it through $ 3-a-month subs or rage-baiting ad-based stories. Attacking tech gets views (see Karen Swisher)... and views get advertisers (paradoxically, tech advertisers support the folks trashing tech! let that sink in!) Founders: If you talk to the NYT or WIRED, they will trash and misrepresent you 95% of the time in order to get more subscribers and page views It is what it is...

@front_ukrainian The "United States" isn't preparing anything, two US Senators are, time for me to unfollow this fake news source.

❗️The United States is preparing sanctions against Hungarian officials for blocking aid to Ukraine.
Senators Jeanne Shaheen (Democrat) and Thom Tillis (Republican) will introduce the Block Putin Act, which provides for financial sanctions and visa bans for Hungarian government officials involved in obstructing aid to Kyiv and in the purchase of Russian oil and gas. The decision on specific names will be made by the US administration.
The bill was introduced due to Orbán blocking an EU loan for Ukraine worth €90 billion.

@Arin_Yumi Pearl Harbor was a perfectly valid strategic military target, the Japanese have nothing to feel sorry or guilty about.
English
Japanese government officials expressed relief after the Takaichi–Trump summit, calling it a “success,” despite earlier concerns over Trump’s unpredictability.
English
@Arin_Yumi If our recent actions in Iran are any indication of US war fighting philosophy, surprise attacks against military targets without an official declaration of war are perfectly valid, so kudos to the Imperial Airforce of December 1941 for catching our great grandparents off guard.
English
Japanese news outlets were doing a live translation of the press conference, and when Trump dropped the Pearl Harbor joke the translators were audibly lost for words and paused for a few seconds in disbelief

@BernieSanders Then we definitely don't need any legal or illegal immigrants coming in to compete for fewer and fewer jobs.

Jeff Bezos, worth $234 billion, plans to replace 600,000 Amazon workers with robots.
Now, he wants to spend $100 billion to fully automate not just his warehouses, but factories in the U.S & other countries.
Oligarchs are waging all out war against workers. FIGHT BACK.

Ships from China's massive fishing fleet track wild life, like whales, and then scoop the food from in front of them. China now has the largest krill fishing fleet in the world. This means massive over exploitation of the sea ecosystem.

Chinese fishing vessel in Antarctic scooping up krill, right next to whales and penguins These ships track where the animals go to feed & take their food. The ship is Shi Dao, the same fishing vessel that was caught dumping oil into Fijian waters at a shipyard a few years ago.

> Marriages in Azerbaijan collapsed by 38% this January, a few months after the country banned cousin marriages. 🇦🇿
January 2025 - 4,717
January 2026 - 2,922
> Azerbaijan is headed for a TFR as low as 0.8
> Like I said earlier, fertility rates in the Muslim world will collapse to such low levels over this decade that even Japan will look fertile by comparison ☪️
> The myth of the so called high Islamic fertility will collapse when it meets the might of modern materialism.

BREAKING: The Islamic regime just executed 19yo national wrestling champion Saleh Mohammadi this morning, a rising talent who won an international medal in Russia 2024.
They killed him simply for protesting in January.
Too weak to confront Israel or the U.S in war, they’re retaliating by slaughtering their own youth instead.
This is only the third known execution in days... many more are likely hidden behind the internet blackout.
The world is watching.
This barbarism MUST STOP NOW!

Meet Sahba Rashtian.
She was 23. A women’s football player in Iran’s premier league and a referee’s assistant on the field.
She was also an artist, a nature lover, and someone who lived life with the energy that athletes bring to everything they do.
On January 19, in the city of Isfahan, she was shot by the Islamic Republic’s security forces.
A direct bullet to her side ended the life of a young woman who had spent 23 years growing, dreaming, creating.
At her funeral, her mother held her photo and said something that should break anyone’s heart:
“I raised this angel for twenty-three years. Now I have to stare at her inside a grave?”
Say her name: Sahba Rashtian.

I remember London as a child - well dressed men wearing suits and bowler hats. The streets were clean and people behaved like civilized human beings. Almost everyone was European.

London is occupied territory. Fifty years ago it was it full of well dressed and civilized Europeans.
