@archeohistories this is what libtards want to happen in the US

A man tastes the sour cream, the only remaining dairy product available, at a state-owned store in Moscow, Monday, December 24, 1991.... December 1991—days before the Soviet Union officially ceased to exist—daily life in Moscow had narrowed to whatever could still be found on a shelf. In many state-run stores, supply chains had effectively broken down. Basic goods—meat, butter, even bread—were often unavailable or required hours of waiting. In some cases, only a single product remained, reflecting an economy in its final stage of collapse. By that point, inflation was accelerating, government distribution systems were failing, and the ruble was rapidly losing value. Industrial output had dropped sharply, and shortages were no longer occasional, they were systemic. For ordinary citizens, it meant improvising meals, bartering, or simply going without. Within days, the USSR would dissolve on December 26, 1991, ending nearly 70 years of centralized economic control. Moments like this capture the human scale of that collapse, where geopolitics translated into something immediate and tangible: what was, or wasn’t, available to eat. By 1992, Russia moved to “shock therapy” reforms, and prices for many basic goods increased by over 250% in a single year, marking one of the fastest peacetime inflation spikes in modern history. © Reddit #archaeohistories

@billybinion @David_J_Bier Aviation security is layered, not just checkpoints (intelligence, watchlists, hardened cockpit doors, air marshals, etc.) Fact: No successful 9/11-style attack in the U.S. since 2001. Even imperfect screening can raise the difficulty and uncertainty for attackers.

Just get rid of the TSA. Tests have repeatedly shown that it misses the vast majority of explosives anyway. It's mostly a form of security theater that makes everyone's lives more annoying. Abolish and privatize.

🚨HOLY SH*T: Mark Kelly just showed Tulsi Gabbard a Trump email to donors promising he’d let them in national security briefings for cash. "Do you think (his) supporters should be able to pay and receive private national security briefings?" Gabbard: …

The famous “James Joyce’s Refrigerator” cartoon appeared in The New Yorker OTD in 1989.

@hasek_dominik @BuffaloSabres @NHL How would that work?

@BuffaloSabres In conclusion, I will repeat that I would be very happy to help the NHL set the rules so that Russian citizens could play in the @NHL and the NHL would not be an advertisement for the Russian imperialist war and people would not die because of the NHL, as is the case now.

I would like to be proud of "my" club and congratulate them. But unfortunately I can't do that. The Sabres are part of the @NHL, which in the current situation is a huge advertisement for the Russian imperialist war. Because of the NHL's stance, a large number of people…

Stephen Miller: President Trump was aware of and has calculated through every permutation and every degree of strategy

@MCCCANM You’re reacting to a post, adding your expert opinion, but did you try to verify its accuracy? Who is “End Wokeness” a person, an organization, journalist, political operative? Credibility matters. There’s a good chance it’s not a simple as they make it out to be.

I think these things are useful in some places, probably not in others. CO just built one, the I-25 Greenland Wildlife Overpass. They did it in less than a year at a cost of $15 million. CA? Already been 4 years, $114 million & still not done. That’s grifting!

@MikeManWorld @SNY_Mets He held the eventual champions to two runs while the US offense couldn’t score a run. I’ll take McLean any day.

@SNY_Mets Special talent in losing the big games Thanks for nothing Mets

Bryce Harper on Nolan McLean: "Whenever you get down 2-0 it's tough, but I thought Mac threw the ball great. He's a special talent. He's going to be a special talent for a long time. We've got a lot of great young guys in there that are going to play again on this team"

@Daractenus @moorehn Excuse me, it’s an excursion.

For the record, the president of the United States is now simultaneously claiming that he has won the war, is currently winning the war, needs help to win the war, and needs no help to win the war. All to destroy the nuclear program he claims to have already destroyed last year.

@HonestHalo @ChrisMurphyCT Nothing the administration says is believable.

Says Treasury Sec. Scott Bessent in his Sky News interview on Thursday (March 12). He confirmed the Navy is preparing to escort tankers as soon as it's 'militarily possible. As for the Aegis movements, look at the MARAD Alert 2026-001A it officially advises commercial ships to maintain a 30-mile standoff from U.S

It’s crystal clear now that Trump has lost control of this war. He badly misjudged Iran’s ability to retaliate. The region is on fire. 1/ I’m going to explain to you in this🧵what I’ve learned - in part from closed door briefings - about the four biggest current crises.

@sentdefender @MalcolmNance Nothing. He. Says. Is. True. <repeat> Nothing. He. Says. Is. True. <repeat> Nothing. He. Says. Is. True. <repeat> Nothing. He. Says. Is. True. <repeat> Nothing. He. Says. Is. True. <repeat> Stop being suckers and overreacting every time.

After President Trump claimed to reporters twice today that he had recently spoken to a former president who praised his actions in Iran, saying: “I wish I did what you did.” Aides to all four living presidents, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, have issued statements to CNN, saying there is no record of any communications between them and President Trump.

@HonestHalo @ChrisMurphyCT “Aegis destroyers moving into the Strait?” Really, says who? You should know better than most that “Truth” isn’t just “I say so,” requires verifiable data.

@swersey @ChrisMurphyCT You don't have to trust the man to see the thermal signatures on Kharg Island or the Aegis destroyers moving into the Strait

@JadedJack166094 @LuluGNavarro Excellent, well-reasoned response.

@LuluGNavarro You a moron

I want to comment on some of the idiotic comments on this site in response to my interview with the Illinois Governor. Most of them are about his weight and not his politics or policies. And I can tell you as a fat person who went on GLP1s this is the basest and most pathetic type of attack. I don’t like it when it’s done about Donald Trump or Pritzker or anyone actually. Grow up people. Instead of the public square, this is the public playground.

@HonestHalo @ChrisMurphyCT Most of us know better than to believe anything Trump says. He’s a serial liar, doesn’t care about being truthful.

For clarification you claim that Trump has lost control. however,the White House just confirmed that 90 military targets on Kharg Island were neutralized yesterday. Note that the U.S. has shifted from containment to dismantlement.recent statement from Sec. Pete Hegseth stated the IRGC’s ballistic missile capacity is functionally defeated. So Without a successor to talk to after Khamenei’s death, there is no one to sign a surrender. We are in a leadership vacuum which is the most dangerous phase of any war. Factually, the region is on fire but the fire is concentrated making the IDF now considering a Litani River push.this isn't a misjudgment, it’s a planned expansion to end Hezbollah’s northern threat permanently.

@LolOut160461 @ChrisMurphyCT We don’t know how much, if any, of what Trump says is true. Decades of constant lying undermines credibility desperately needed during a crisis. Believe what comes out of his mouth at your own risk.

If miscalculating means obliterating 90+ military targets on Kharg Island in a single night while keeping the oil taps as a 'hostage' bargaining chip, then the definition of 'losing control' has changed. Trump isn't just fighting a war; he’s redrawing the map. Sparing the oil infrastructure was the ultimate show of dominance it says 'I can bankrupt you whenever I choose

@bhalligan This: gratefulguitars.org is how instruments should be preserved! My friend Steve Liesman (CNBC) played one of Bobby’s guitars and his bandmate Jerry’s “Alligator” at a Stella Blues Bland show in NYC last spring. The foundation is dedicated to seeing that they’re played.

Not so humble brag coming. I bought Jerry Garcia’s “Wolf” guitar 9 years ago for $1.9mil. Its sister “Tiger” guitar just sold for $11.5mil. Low supply & high demand is timeless.

@atrupar @NormOrnstein Huh? 🤔
