This man was in the gym flexing his massive physique during a posing session. He’s shirtless and oiled up, hitting every classic pose from double biceps to side chest and turning to show off his back while other lifters stand around watching and filming.
He looks completely confident and ripped the whole time. I give him props for building a body like that, would you ever get on stage and pose in front of a crowd like him?

@W4SYY @daveatherton It was embarrassingly badly dealt with wasn’t it. Was like a schoolyard ambush… geez
English

@ivourbane @daveatherton At last someone with some sense, if they had resisted arrest once told then you can use any tactic you want BUT you dont approach anybody like that, the taser made them brave until they were all floored.

@grey4626 Can’t believe I read all that… Americans loosing their minds and pointing fingers at Europe because they started a shitshow .. put all that finger pointing energy into getting your heads together and figure out how to solve this mess you created before the whole world suffers
English

It’s fucking time...
past time, you self-castrating Europe fucks...that the United States of America stops playing wet nurse to a Europe that has spent eighty years perfecting the art of managed decline.
Let the whole fucking landmass learn Russian.
Let the guttural poetry of the Kremlin become the new lingua franca from Lisbon to Warsaw, because the alternative is watching a civilization commit slow-motion suicide while lecturing the world on morality from its deathbed.
Putin would run Europe better than Europe can run itself.
History doesn’t lie, even when your effete elites do.
Twice in the last century the United States dragged your sorry asses out of the charnel house you built for yourselves...first through the meat grinder of your own imperial delusions, then against the very Soviet machine you now pretend to fear while secretly craving its discipline.
You begged for our blood, our treasure, our nuclear umbrella, then sneered at us as cowboys the moment the check cleared.
NATO?
A protection racket you never intended to pay for.
The EU?
A bureaucratic suicide pact designed by failed intellectuals who mistook their own pathological self-loathing for sophistication.
Psychologically, you’re a textbook case of civilizational masochism:
the pathological need to be punished by history because deep down you know you deserve it.
Decades of feminized leadership, open borders as penance, green fantasies that left you freezing in the dark while begging Moscow for gas...you’ve traded martial virtue for pronouns and turned your birthrates into a demographic death spiral.
Your elites aren’t incompetent; they’re possessed.
They worship weakness as strength, invite the wolf through the front door, then clutch their pearls when the fangs appear.
That’s not governance. That’s a death cult in business attire.
Geopolitically, the map is merciless.
Russia understands power the way you understand virtue-signaling hashtags:
instinctively, lethally, without apology.
While your Macron-types prattle about “strategic autonomy” from the only nation that has ever actually kept you free, Putin plays chess and you play checkers with half the pieces missing.
He doesn’t need lectures on democracy from people who import the Third World to replace their own dying populations.
He respects strength. You despise it. So let him have the continent you’ve already surrendered in every way that matters.
America owes you nothing more.
We’ve subsidized your decadence long enough.
Let the bear teach you what real sovereignty looks like...harsh, unyielding, rooted in soil and steel instead of your vaporous post-modern delusions.
And when the last French intellectual is learning Cyrillic under duress, maybe then you’ll remember what your ancestors knew before they traded their balls for a seat at Davos:
civilizations that forget how to be ferocious don’t survive.
They kneel.
We’re done carrying you.
Speak Russian, Europe.
Or choke on the consequences of your own exquisite pathology.
Either way, the adults in the room are finished pretending you’re still worth the oxygen.

Time to declare France an enemy of the United States.

@larroumecj this current narrative is infuriating. Nixon gold standard/petrodollar. America has been profiting off the world for half a century to complete economic dominance, in exchange for military security, remember the deal? now being framed as a free ride off American generosity.
English

Anglophone X is now flooded with Americans explaining how Europe was freeloading off the American empire, and cheering its coming end.
I'm cheering too, so we're on the same side.
But here's the funny part: MAGA has actually gaslit itself into believing the American Empire was a bad deal for America and a gift to Europe. (And that it was always this way - meaning they genuinely think their parents and grandparents were either idiots or naive philanthropists who, having Europe in the palm of their hand, decided to set up a system that worked against them.)
As a result, MAGA is now dismantling its own empire. We haven't seen a self-own this spectacular since Germany blew up its own nuclear plants.
There's always a moment in history when the metropole gets tired of paying for empire and loses sight of what it's getting out of it. We're there now.
It's going to cost Europe dearly to exit its semi-protectorate status. But in the end, it'll be far better off for it.
I put together a quick scorecard of what each side - America and Europe - gains and loses from the status quo.
I'd encourage my American friends to take a look. So many of you have no idea how your own empire actually works. (1/2)

- Pull out of NATO.
- Close all bases and remove all military personal from the UK, Germany, Spain, and France.
- Never protect these countries again.
- Stop all trade with these countries. ZERO.
- Refuse to share any military technologies and don't allow to them to buy any military equipment. Ever.
- Don't share any intelligence with them. NONE.
- Tell them they have to provide 100% of weapons and money to Ukraine.
- Cut them off completely.

@WarClandestine was the deal not that in exchange for selling every barrel of oi in dollars , that usa would provide military security? and that usa has profited off the worlds energy for half a century because of it... now its being called a free ride? lmfao
English

Trump is now squeezing what’s left of Iranian leadership until they capitulate.
This is not so much a “war” at this stage, as much as it is a negotiation. Every second the Iranians delay, more of their infrastructure will be destroyed, but it can end at any moment. Trump is introducing an element of time, to make them act with a sense of urgency.
You are watching the Art of the Deal.

Fucking cowards in England and Australia slithering out today in unison like the spineless fucking cucks they are.
Look at these gutless wonders, too fucking terrified to stand for anything real.
Spineless jellyfish with no balls, no backbone, just a collective circle jerk of weakness.
England and Australia, both bending the knee in perfect sync like the pathetic beta bitches they've become.
Disgusting. Absolute fucking cowards, every last one of you.
The world sees you for what you are: soft, sniveling, spineless cucks who couldn't grow a spine if it was handed to you on a silver platter.
Hide in your safe little islands, you worthless pricks. History will remember you as the generation that folded like cheap lawn chairs.
America will never forget!
Pathetic. Absolutely fucking pathetic.
English

@grey4626 @cat_barnes30 Go back to the deal made for the petrodollar which gave USA global economic dominion in turn for MILITARY SECURITY… it’s no free ride. USA has profited off the world for 50 years . All USA military actions serves its own interests..
English

@cat_barnes30 Thank you, beautiful. It felt so fucking good to write. I have been waiting for this tweet for a long time.
English

Fucking Finally.
The Lion of Mar-a-Lago has roared with that signature, unfiltered lethality, and the message slices through the European delusion like a Tomahawk through a command bunker:
the age of American subsidy for your parasitic cowardice is fucking over.
To the sniveling, jet-fuel-starved cock-suckers of the United Kingdom and its spineless continental cohorts...listen the fuck up.
For eighty years we have bled treasure, blood, and industrial supremacy to underwrite your decadent existence.
From the Marshall Plan’s reconstruction of your war-ravaged empires to the carrier battle groups that have patrolled the Persian Gulf since the Tanker War of the 1980s, America has been your unpaid mercenary, your nuclear umbrella, your global logistics backbone.
NATO?
Nothing more than the North American Tribute Organization...where the United States shoulders over sixty-five percent of the alliance’s actual spending while your militaries have atrophied into hollow parade-ground husks, underfunded, undermanned, and equipped with yesterday’s gear because you chose cradle-to-grave welfare states and green virtue-signaling over steel and resolve.
Geopolitically, the Strait of Hormuz is no academic footnote:
it is the jugular vein of the world economy, funneling twenty-one percent of global petroleum liquids...nineteen million barrels a day...through a narrow chokepoint that asymmetric Iranian tactics...mines, anti-ship missiles, speedboat swarms...were designed to threaten precisely because they knew direct confrontation with American naval power was suicide.
We and our Israeli partners have done the hard kinetic work...the precision decapitation of their leadership structure.
The heavy lifting is finished.
Now these same European freeloaders, who lacked the spine to commit forces when it mattered, dare complain about disrupted sea lanes?
Decades of Pax Americana have bred in you a terminal strategic infantilism:
a learned helplessness wrapped in smug moral superiority.
You lecture the world on the “rules-based order” while outsourcing your survival to American sons and daughters.
History is merciless on this point...from the Suez Crisis of 1956, when your imperial twilight exposed the limits of European power projection without U.S. backing, to the present.
Your elites are psychologically castrated by comfort; your populations softened by entitlement.
You forgot that freedom of navigation is not a birthright...it is enforced by gun, steel, and the will to use them.
President Trump’s directive is surgical in its venomous precision:
Number One, buy the fucking fuel from us...we have plenty.
Number Two, grow some long-overdue balls, reconstitute what remains of your navies, sail into the Strait, and TAKE IT.
No more American taxpayers dying to keep your fighters in the sky and your economies from freezing in the dark while you backstab and virtue-signal.
The parasite has fed on the host long enough.
The era of the United States as Europe’s security guard, banker, and scapegoat is closed.
Fight for your own oil or learn to live without it.
Adapt or wither. The choice is yours, but the protection racket is finished.
Grow a fucking spine or don't. We don't give a fuck anymore.

@fittoberight @WhiteHouse there never was no free ride.. get educated.. the usa took the petrodollar and economic global domination and in return they were to provide military security. the usa does nothing military or otherwise that doesn't serve its own financial interests..
English

@WhiteHouse Spot on, Mr. President. Allies who sat out the fight against Iran now want us to keep their jet fuel flowing? Buy American or grow a spine and secure the Strait yourselves. The free ride is over. America First.
English

@WorldByWolf the deal when usa came off gold standard and hoodwinked the world into trading oil in dollars ( which led to total global economic domination ), was that use would provide military security . now they are acting like we owe them something after they profited from the whole world.
English

When Trump says the US always comes to Britain and NATO’s rescue but never vice versa what is he referring to?
Because 1,148 non-US troops died in Afghanistan including 457 Brits. In Iraq 318 non-US troops died including 179 Brits.
To this day British forces are stationed across the Middle East going on daily high risk missions.
This is the tired old American mentality that the US saved Britain in WW1 and WW2 when really the British suffered 8x the deaths in WW1 and more deaths than the US suffered in WW2.
Not to mention that the US joined WW1 nearly 3 years into the war and WW2 over 2 years into the war so our boys fought alone as the US watched on for half a decade across both wars.
So quite frankly the Americans who spout this nonsense can go fuck themselves.

@MichaelAArouet the main thing holding it steady at no growth is increasing government spending. otherwise its down down down
English

@GriftReport this was just an exercise in exposing how ridiculously the costs have risen ( for poor quality products ) in these places, for a simple lunch/snack scenario.
English

@GaryKThompson71 @Artemisfornow what's the rate of gdp which is government spending now? 45% .. where it was only higher at 50% during the pandemic.. getting a bit obvious how we are maintaining those 0.1% gdp growth figures every year the gov seems so happy about. the state is too big and spending too much.
English

@Artemisfornow Finally, framing the vulnerable as a tax burden is a structural deception. Claimants do not hoard wealth. Benefit monies are spent immediately in the local economy, sustaining businesses, driving GDP growth, and returning billions to the Treasury via VAT. 3/3
English

@MyLordBebo can't believe this stuff is still going on in this day and age.
English

@BGatesIsaPyscho the countryside is there for whoever wants to use it. half the " non ethnic minorities" in the country don't bother using it either for whatever reason.. its an optional recreational space. you go, you walk/hike/cycle... bring a jacket and boots.. its not political.
English

@best_cryptobest @cryptofergani duh?? oil , gas, fertilizers etc etc... fortunes are being made on assets moving with the times.. nobody is looking at btw right now..
English

@cryptofergani Capital rotation from precious metals to crypto makes perfect sense right now. Where else is that kind of liquidity flowing?
English

Let me get this straight…
Gold is down -25% from its record high.
Silver is down -50% from its record high.
$15-18T was just wiped from Gold and Silver.
That kind of money doesn't just vanish. It HAS to go somewhere…
So… where did it go?
I think we all know the answer… but no one is allowed to say it out loud…
English

@FloMicReed @Timesofiraan " loose everything just to prolong the suffering" .. I think that's called defending your nation against an attacking force and nearly every country it happens too, if they have capability, tends to do this.. its kind of how war works...
English

@Timesofiraan It’s cinema because some idiots believe Iran is winning because they’ll lose everything just to prolong the suffering. All they have to do is make a deal with US and become an economic powerhouse.
English

@angrycat531 @FranceLumieres @DanielKorski lets pretend this war is really about Iran threatening to use a nuclear weapon
English

Historian here. I’m seeing a lot of crazy takes about the US and WWII.
Nazi Germany declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941.
This came just days after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US then declared war on Japan. Germany, as Japan’s ally (via the Tripartite Pact), chose to escalate and declare war on the U.S.
But Adolf Hitler already saw the U.S. as an enemy and believed war was inevitable.
So this whole narrative by some Americans to the Europeans of “help us now in Iran because we helped you in WWII” doesn’t quite stack up to the realities of history
