@hammurhed @AaronBastani Nope. I searched for that too. Tim Dillon's point is valid. Remember too that Harris chose to ally herself with the Cheney family on foreign policy.

Great clip from Tim Dillon. Trump’s second term is, without doubt, the biggest con in political history. It would be like Jeremy Corbyn privatising the NHS or Nigel Farage having Britain re-enter the EU.

Vedomosti reports that Russia’s state nuclear corporation Rosatom has begun evacuating staff from Iran’s Bushehr nuclear power plant. 198 employees are being transported by bus toward the Armenian border as the situation escalates. One strike reportedly landed near the plant’s protective perimeter, with Rosatom warning the risk of a “nuclear-related” incident is rising.

@brandan_buck Yes and this isn't the era for political empathy. It's almost as bad in domestic politics. The other side is just written off as incomprehensible or driven by base motives. We see the same thing across the West now. I don't think it was this bad a generation or two ago.

MAGA Inc is incapable of comprehending that foreign peoples might be just as motivated by nationalism and group solidarity as they claim to be. Fascinating.

Farmers shooting at an American helicopter today. Perhaps the stupidest thing I’ve seen: the media claiming plastic surgeons in LA, and has been comedians in London, are somehow representative of these people. It genuinely feels like we never learn.

@ExpatAftermath I don't know. There would have to be someone in the room who's not an automaton to hear her.

@PeterSaker2 Ah. Well, that would change things, but I'm assuming she could still just say "no" at any point and they would have to stop?

@FistedFoucault As @MorgothsReview said in a recent conversation with @MillennialWoes , the Trump regime will go down in the history books as proof of what happens when amateurs take over from the experts. Trump and his gang of thugs and attention whores make our managerial classes look good.

Yes, and the worst part about it is that it means that these shitheads on both sides of the pond are clawing back some political legitimacy 2029 is going to be incredibly cringe-inducing

Aside from Trump's unpopular war, Trump's provocations & Trump's empty threats, Euro leaders are concluding that the president will soon be weakened, his revolution abortive, and that they must merely wait out his term. So they grow more defiant.

@TheLastRefuge2 Austria doesn't want to take part in a massacre and the collapse of the world economy. Weird. They probably don't even want to bring about the Rapture.

@FistedFoucault Trump managed to recreate a combination of two entirely different low points of the Soviet Union: - the thuggish crackdowns in Hungary, East Germany (etc) in the 1950's - the end of the Soviet era, when Gorbachev rug-pulled the loyal cadres of the East Bloc.

I'm trying to think of a date where the reputational standing of the USSR is equivalent to today's USA

@admcollingwood A cynical cult grew out of "the lessons of the last century" and Snyder and Applebaum are two of its high priests. Let's be honest about that now.

Timothy Snyder has progressed from compulsively posting unhinged, spittle-flecked screeds about Ukraine, to seeing deep anti-Ukraine conspiracies in every world event. A sad way to end a career, because it doesn't just destroy his reputation, but tarnishes everything he ever wrote: how can we possibly think any of his previous works were objective? Snyder has not only disqualified himself as a credible and disinterested expert in future, but has recategorised his entire bibliography from the past as mere polemics.

The whole Iran war is looking more and more like a gimmick to drop energy sanctions on Russia and pressure Europeans to do the same. A war to make Russia’s much larger war easier and possible to sustain.
