@SaladBarFan I think it's meant to be a le Global South anthem than something specific to Syrians.

“The real problem with that Syrian rap song is it’s insulting to black Americans”
So cucked man

Le « vous ne seriez rien sans nous » de cette vidéo me flingue. C’est directement inspiré des luttes des noirs américains, qui ont effectivement contribué à construire les Etat-Unis modernes, alors que là on parle de réfugiés syriens qui sont arrivés il y a 11 ans.

X is great. Once you get past the Americans saying our country is conquered and that we are all genetically defective or whatever, you are then treated to these weepy fuckwits and their delusions.

@tomhfh For all its faults, the USA is a continuation of our civilisation and will own the future. Our ancestors are the founding stock and provided the philosophical underpinnings; that’s where we should be aligned.

Anglo Gaullism is short sighted.
Reject the French way. Don’t push off the Yanks.
The strange unreliable unpredictability of Trumpism ends in November, as DJT becomes a lame duck, Congress goes Blue, and attention in DC turns to succession.
Predicating decades of British foreign policy on the next seven months is not wise.

@NewSamawal Israel should not alienate its ascendant right-wing partners in Europe (including Reform which is set for major victory at the upcoming council elections) on behalf of decadent low IQ MAGA or goober Milei.

Israel owes it to Argentina to recognize its claim over the Falklands.
The worst Starmer can do is recognize a Palestinian state between the Nile and the Euphrates.

If a Democrat takes power in 2028 all of this stuff will be forgotten.

The headline says that the costs of Trump’s tantrums are “starting to show”. I don’t think Americans get that for Europeans, the Greenland debacle changed everything. It’s over. No one can trust the US. It’s not because of Trump. It’s because we know your system can’t/ won’t stop him or the next guy after him. And also that there’s enough of you who think it would be ‘cool’ to invade just to rub it in our faces. That’s a good enough reason to never trust you again and make everything far more transactional.
English
I'm 20% convinced that this Falklands debacle is part of the US government's strategy of getting their ideological allies in other countries -- such as Canada, Hungary, Poland and the Netherlands -- electorally defeated (I don't know why they would want this though).

NEW: Keir Starmer hits back at Donald Trump’s threat to Britain’s sovereignty of the Falkland Islands. PM's spox: "We could not be clearer about the UK's position on the Falkland Islands. It's long standing. It's unchanged. "Sovereignty rests with the UK, and the Islands’ right to self determination is paramount. That's been our consistent position and will remain the case.”
English
@JacobL1994_ Britain's ability to defend the Falklands today is greater than in the 1980s. And its morale would be much higher in doing so -- Thatcher's cabinet tried to pressure her into ceding the islands.
English
Absolutely not. Starmer won’t be in office forever and alienating patriotic Brits would be an enormous mistake.
Israel’s track record when it comes to the falklands has been inadvisable historically. Don’t double down on a mistake

@Eulipotyphla_OG What they call LKY-ism or Gaullism or whatever are just second order consequences of their being too cowardly to stand up to the establishment, thereby taking the path of least resistance towards authoritarianism.
English
British LKY-ism would essentially be Katherine Birbalsingh and Suella Braverman telling us to sing the national anthem, and have vegetarian school lunches.
This is partly because we have limited state capacity to do anything else.
Same reason why is LFG cleaning Tube carriages.

From a book “What if Reform Wins” detailing all the supposed horrors that will occur if Reform win the next general election. Motability mentioned on page 7. They really are out of ideas.
English
It kinda seems like people are just copying what Black Americans say even when it doesn't make sense? "Where would you be without us" makes sense for a minority that's been in the country for 400 years, not a refugee who came in a decade ago.

A Syrian artist living in Berlin posted a video now trending across Germany. Germany welcomed Syrian refugees during and after the civil war and have no colonial past in Syria to atone for. What do they get in return? Resentment, a Third-Worldist rant basically about Western colonizers as eternal oppressors. The contrast with Syria itself is what makes this interesting. Syrians inside Syria today want the West. They want a peaceful Damascus, a functioning banking system, trade, integration into the global economy. The loudest anticolonial voices and movements now sit in Western capitals advocating for things their own people aren’t aligned with.

Necesitamos que la extrema izquierda arrase en las próximas elecciones en el Reino Unido. Es la primera vez que el triunfo de la izquierda servirá de algo. La caída del reino hundido será uno de los grandes hitos para que resurja un nuevo mundo occidental libre. Uno sin miedos al resto de las civilizaciones, que se anime a enfrentar a los regímenes que amenazan nuestra existencia. Hay que quitarles el poder a estos países cobardes. Es ahora o los enemigos de la libertad nos van a pasar por arriba.

If this happened, we would have to expel all US forces and treat it as a hostile power. And let us speak frankly, under Trump the US is pretty much a hostile power already

Reuters reports that a memo draft floating around the Pentagon considers whether the US should support Argentina's claim to the Malvinas/Falklands as a way to support Milei and punish Europe for failing to support the war in Iran. reuters.com/world/pentagon…

@lukedepulford @reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage You can be pro-China and exist in British politics. It's whatever.

Supporters of the Hong Kong National Security Law have no place in UK politics. Morally and constitutionally untenable.
@reformparty_uk @Nigel_Farage should kick him out.
