@AriFleischer Truly shocking post. In what way does “England” - you mean Britain - have a “history of selling the US out”? You were in the Bush administration and saw (or maybe you weren’t paying attention) the slavish British obeisance to the US drive to war in Afghanistan and Iraq. Shame!

When this is over, the western part of NATO will never be the same. Spain, England, France and Italy have sold us out, as they too often have a history of doing. Eastern European nations are the heart of NATO. They spend money on defense, know how to fight and love the US. France particularly deserves fault and blame. From supporting China and Russia at the UN to denying Americans overflight rights, they’re doing what they’ve always done - showing weakness, while cutting deals with terrorists. (The reason the US has a Marine Corps and Navy is unlike France, we refused to pay a ransom to the Barbary Pirates. France is always happy to cut a deal.) Wars have unintended consequences as nations show their true colors. NATO will never be the same, and Western European weakness and acquiescence is the cause.

@MatthieuFavas Flooding caused by watermelons is an intriguing concept. Perhaps the Iranians will have more luck pulling that off than they’ve had trying to build an atomic bomb.

@afneil Yep. So relieved to live in the US.

@Ian_Willoughby Czechs funny? That’s a joke.

Czechs the funniest nation? 🤔 Certainly food for thought!

@afneil You consider this worth scrolling at a time like we’re living through? Share something serious and informative. This is unworthy.

This is worth a scroll. Must be the biggest collection of bonkers headlines in history from a supposedly mainstream publication.

@vbbernard @BaddCompani @SBethlenfalvay You’re a bot.

@rstait @BaddCompani @SBethlenfalvay That’s you!

@vbbernard @BaddCompani @SBethlenfalvay The Guardian or "that author." And you are...? Oh wait a minute, Anonymous.

@BaddCompani @SBethlenfalvay @rstait The guardian or that author…hugs and blessings Badd!!!

@Tim_Denning I'm sure Camus - who is far from unknown - must have been saying more interesting and more original things than this.

2. “You will never be happy if you continue to search for what happiness consists of. You will never live if you are looking for the meaning of life.” Most people aren't happy because society gave them a sh*tty model: • Go to school • Get a useless degree • Get a boring job • Get into debt • Retire • Die F*cking miserable. Do the opposite.

I'm 38. When I was 28 I worshipped identity politics, went woke & believed in the fantasy of equality. Then I discovered Albert Camus, and he changed my life forever. 11 lessons from France's most controversial & unknown philosopher:

@afneil We were all wrong. Including the pollsters. And Allan Lichtman.

Well, I wasn’t entirely right. I said it was too close to call. In fact, Trump looks like winning electoral college 312 to 226 and, even more surprising, the popular vote by 72m to 67m, which is a remarkable result. So not so close after all.

@Ian_Willoughby Or Americans in general calling their country that.

I tell you what makes me laugh — people on here calling Harris a Communist!

Dear @SarahLongwell25 Can you follow me back please? I would like to send you a personal message. Many thanks.

@shaunwalker7 Loved this. Really gripping tale. Great to see you're still turning them out.

Spent a couple of months working on this longread about Pablo González / Pavel Rubtsov, the Spanish journalist accused of being a GRU spy. Hopefully it goes some way to answering a few of the questions around Pablo. theguardian.com/world/2024/oct…

@shaunwalker7 Congratulations!

After six years of on-off working on it, this thing is finally finished and coming out in April!

@MurielBlaivePhD I didn’t even know fish had hands, never mind shook them.

@rstait 😂😂😂 What the heck...

Fish handshake: “Our British friends usually use it.”

@Ian_Willoughby 😂😂😂

@afneil Thought-provoking as always, but worth keeping in mind that Harris is not the only policy flip-flopper, or indeed lightweight, in this race. Witness Trump’s contortions on IVF & abortion.

Even CNN's shameless hour of Kamala Harris propaganda couldn't save this flip-flopping lightweight from primetime humiliation... But, says ANDREW NEIL, some Trump confidants fear he STILL can't stop her | Daily Mail Online dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1…

@arthurmacmillan @Timodc I thought that too. It was a typical pose in picture caption stories for my first local papers at fete openings. At war memorials and cemeteries, somewhat less common.

@Timodc Baffled how this was not a bigger part of original story. Several outlets played it down. Because the relatives did the same? All in all, odd.

@afneil @MailOnline What Trump would do in power is not and I think that’s rather the point in this most unusual of elections.

What Kamala Harris would do in power is still a mystery mol.im/a/13774531 via @MailOnline
