Oh no!! A good friend of Craig Kelly's is leaving Australia to live in an undisclosed country! If this doesn't wake Australians up, I don't know what will.

In this graph @chartrdaily reveals that existing GTA products still make up 12 percent of Take-Two’s revenue despite the last launch being more than a decade ago. Video games can be outrageously lucrative in the long-term.

America and Europe can detter any threat, but only together Hegseth: If America is going to have to take the burden of the Indo-Pacific and deterring China, Europe needs to be prepared to step up, ensure that Russia or others are checked properly. You can't be everywhere.

China Shapes Russia’s Policy, — Estonian Foreign Minister Tsahkna “My main task was to convey to the Chinese Foreign Minister that Russia poses an existential threat to Europe and Estonia. I also reminded him that without China’s support, Russia would not have been able to launch such aggression against Ukraine. The numbers confirm this, and it’s important to speak openly about who economically and politically controls Russia. If China wants to maintain good relations with Estonia, these issues must be addressed,” Tsahkna said.

russians keep making these overly complicated proposals for “peace”. I have a counter proposal - russia leave Ukraine and return Ukrainian children. You will instantly have peace. Not more will die. But russia does not want peace. They want to exterminate Ukraine.

The amount of russian entitlement and whining on this site about visa restrictions to Europe is insane Here is a good summary of why russians can go f*ck themselves We should have MORE restrictions on russians All russians are responsible for the crimes done in their name
Branislav Slantchev@slantchev

It’s strikes me as a really long stretch to argue that suspending multiple entry Schengen visas for Russians is somehow making the West complicit in Russia’s war on Ukraine. Most Russians who travel on these visas are not opposition members. They are part of the privileged elites who can afford the luxury of European vacations. Nearly 60% of Russians said they couldn’t afford to travel abroad back in 2019, and 77% said they hadn’t been abroad over the past five years in 2022. That’s before the war made most of them worse off. These elites are the beneficiaries of Putin’s kleptocracy and whatever their opinion of the war is does not matter because almost none of them are going to risk their privileges over that. Will some Russians be caught in this who probably shouldn’t be? Sure: people traveling to visit relatives, or for medical procedures, etc. So for them, the process will be costlier. This cannot be helped. The idea that Russians have some inherent right to travel whenever they want to while their country is waging a genocidal war on its neighbor is morally repugnant. It takes extraordinary tone-deafness to demand to be treated as an innocent bystander in the crimes committed by your own government. This holds not just for elites who are active beneficiaries and supporters but also for people who are not. Russians online are up in arms about collective responsibility but unlike collective guilt, collective responsibility very much is a thing. At the very least, one should start by accepting that by not actively opposing the regime, one is providing a permissive environment for it to operate in. And before you come with some version of “Putin has repression, they can’t do anything, why don’t you go and protest” let me be clear that I am not saying that they should protest: this is up to them to decide. But I am saying that when they choose not to, they become enablers and so must expect to be treated as such. (And yes, some of us did participate in protests against repressive governments back in 1989, so I know what I’m taking about.) Third, I don’t understand the logic of saying that this helps Putin. Helps him how? Russians get upset that they cannot visit Amalfi and go, fuck these Europeans, let’s support Putin? I mean, this makes Russians sound totally infantile. Almost everyone understands that the reason for the restrictions is the war in Ukraine. If you oppose the war, you are not going to start supporting it now because you understand that Russia is the cause of the restrictions. If you support the war, well, you will just keep doing it — or maybe actually start to think how come the Europeans are suddenly so against you, so perhaps you might reconsider. I am not holding out much hope on this front but I am saying that restrictions should weakly work against the Kremlin (which is why Moscow is constantly denouncing them and trying to stop them). As I put it in early March 2022 when the Russians were at the gates of Kyiv, “The inescapable conclusion is that since Russia is a threat and cannot be trusted, the West must embark on a difficult path of securing itself from it yet again. Rearmament, transitioning crops to replace lost imports from Russia, replacing gas/oil with green sources of energy, enforcing borders yet again, all of this is coming.” “And so it has come to pass that we are yet again in a fight to defend our way of life against Putin’s alternative. The US administration still waffles about how much we must help Ukraine. It still does not really believe the Ukrainians could pull it off. But I beg to differ. With enough help and timely supplies, it is possible that Putin’s forces will never take Kyiv.“ “The stakes are frighteningly high. The gears that are separating the West from Russia have started to turn, and are revving up with increasing ferocity. If we do not match the stakes with effort, we will fall short, and not just the Ukrainians but all of us will pay the price afterwards.”

The gay kid who can't decide his gender is talking about destroying a 1000+yr nation. Russia will continue to exist and we will crush anyone who threatens our security. If the Ukrainians want peace, they should sign the peace deal. This is little to what we are capable of doing.

The US meets core republican principles: sovereignty from the people via elected representatives, not monarchs or heredity; fixed terms for officials; a constitution enforcing rule of law and limiting government; and separation of powers to prevent tyranny. No essential requirements go unmet—it's explicitly a constitutional republic, as the Founders intended to avoid pure democracy's excesses while securing liberties. Critiques often confuse aspirational ideals with operational reality in any large-scale system.

This is China.🇨🇳 China is proof that socialism works. As for Cuba, Venezuala and other examples, they may have worked if the US government hadn't spent TRILLIONS of dollars to prevent their success. 👇
Byron Donalds@ByronDonalds

Communism failed in Cuba. Communism failed in Venezuela. Communism failed in the USSR. Communism failed in Eastern Europe. Communism has NEVER WORKED. Zohran's Communist policies will undermine themselves & NY will now experience the disaster of this failed ideology first hand.

The point that this pro-Kremlin hack is making is the same point that this pro-Kremlin hack is always making, that the Russian people should not feel any pain whatsoever from Russia's war on Ukraine, that pain should be exclusively for Ukrainians, who should surrender to Russia.
