The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

@0xbarefoot @AnalyticaCamil1 Yes, because apparently being hegemon of the world is worse than being a regional power.
English
@AnalyticaCamil1 tbf (not saying this is a good idea) but hegseth basically laid out how the new "greater north america" or whatever that basically ignores europe no? clearly the admin wants this to happen.
English
At the risk of pointing out the obvious, the US isn’t just losing this war (and to be quite frank, we lost it on day 1), we’re also hemorrhaging our strategic position.
Quick thread:
Phil Stewart@phildstewart
ROME - Italy has denied permission for U.S. military aircraft to land at the Sigonella air base in Sicily before flying to the Middle East, a source close to the matter said
English
@AnalyticaCamil1 @ApexMetal It’s horrific how badly our soft and hard power has eroded in the past 10-15 years
English
@AnalyticaCamil1 Some more parallels between the American SMO and the russian SMO.
Putin has decisively shrunk the russian sphere of influence, probably forever. Trump is trying to do the same, it seems.

Defending Israel would be easier if its leading statesmen didn't behave like literal comic book supervillains. Yeah, yeah, I know: "Ben-Gvir isn't Israel". But, when people like him are so much more powerful than their internal critics, that starts to sound like special pleading.
The Cradle@TheCradleMedia
VIDEO | Israeli National Security Minister Ben Gvir, outside the Knesset chamber, celebrates the passing of the death penalty law for Palestinian detainees, describing it as historic and saying, “Soon we will count them one by one.”

@Protectorofmice @Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @Melitaalsole They don't make official statements about it, but it's a widely-known fact. It's literally the reason why the US does not recognise Taiwan as a separate entity.
English
@itsmedanielfc @Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @Melitaalsole When did china state that a Taiwanese declaration of independence will be met with an invasion? Not denying that they did just want a source to be clear.
English
It’s a civil war so the opinion of the 1.4 billion people on the mainland is also a major factor 😃
Basil🧡@LinkofSunshine
The idea that the Taiwanese people want unification is just not true. Only like 10-15% of all Taiwanese polled agree they should move towards this
English
@Protectorofmice @Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @Melitaalsole To an extent, yes. But Taiwan has always maintained the KMT position because that's what China made it clear it wanted. They made it very clear that if Taiwan declared independence, they'd attack.
The KMT and the CCP are frenemies. Everyone knows that but you, it seems.
English
@itsmedanielfc @Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @Melitaalsole Im pretty sure the American troops and American guarantees are whats preventing China from invading. Thats always whats prevented them.
English
@SUFFERINSABOTAB @SocDoneLeft @hasanthehun He merely says it shows the will of the people (which isn't true at all!)

@Laevaten34 @hasanthehun The Russian "referendum" in Crimea was rigged, as in Eastern Ukraine. The invasion was unjust. But if a fair referendum had been held, a supermajority of Crimeans would've voted to join Russia. Poll after poll, from the UN to Gallup to Razumkov, showed the same thing.

the us doesn’t want peaceful reunification. but they’re maybe too busy rn.

BREAKING: Taiwan's main opposition the KMT said on Monday that its chairwoman, Cheng Li-wun, has accepted an invitation from Chinese President Xi Jinping and the Communist Party’s Central Committee to lead a party delegation to China.

SDL@SocDoneLeft
@zukosmadre Suki, you argue that people in Eastern Ukraine "voted to join Russia". This is wrong. Those Russian-run referenda were obvious shams. For example: In Donetsk, Russia absurdly claims that 99% of people voted for annexation. In reality, every poll for a decade showed 45% or less:
QME
@Laevaten34 @SocDoneLeft @hasanthehun He's tiptoeing around it, but he obviously supports the annexation.

@SocDoneLeft @hasanthehun 😭 SDL please don’t say you think the Russian held referendum was legitimate you’re better than that bro pls

@SocDoneLeft @Laevaten34 @hasanthehun You add context to everything when you speak in paragraph after paragraph why is this low priority?

@anitamaxxing @BakerMateo27332 @SocDoneLeft @hasanthehun No, he is. He's saying that the majority of Crimea wanted to be part of Russia. Which is a lie.

@itsmedanielfc @BakerMateo27332 @SocDoneLeft @hasanthehun sdl isn't making any personal statement about the crimean annexation they are pointing out that hasan has a different standard for taiwan than he does for crimea

@Protectorofmice @Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @Melitaalsole Because that's what prevents China from invading.

@Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @itsmedanielfc @Melitaalsole If Taiwan is an independent nation that wants to be left alone why do maintain the legal position that they are the goverment of all of china in exile? Thats Taiwan OFFICIAL position. Loudly saying to the neighbor rising great power they dont exist and your thier real goverment..
English
@Protectorofmice @Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @Melitaalsole So, what's your point? Is the KMT good and right or is it bad and wrong? Can't have it both ways.
English
@Tfhxjvgxjdgc @li_dawei98 @itsmedanielfc @Melitaalsole Chang Kai shek literally went to his grave thinking an American backed invasion of the mainland was coming aby day now. Taiwan was literally founded as an outpost to eventually retake the mainland! What is up with THAT double standard?

@MadMaxEcon @quantian1 Very funny that he didn't think about buying a ton of oil. Brilliant mind.

@quantian1 "Hey chatgpt, if a war with iran would start tomorrow, which defense company could I safely and anonymously buy with size before to make a profit?".
How are these people even roo retarded for this? Absolutely blows my mind
English
Lmao the reason this leaked was because he wanted to buy IDEF, a totally illiquid BlackRock fund that trades ~$100k a day, instead of ITA which trades hundred of millions, so he had his brokers call up the issuer and ask for a direct creation under his name
Samuel Oakford@samueloakford
A broker for Pete Hegseth, the US defence secretary, attempted to make a big investment in major defence companies in the weeks leading up to the US-Israeli attack on Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter. ft.com/content/744ea8…

@_giacomo_volpe_ It seems to me that one of the main issues swing voters have with the Dems is that they think people like Piker have too much influence over the party, be that true or not.
And the Hasan crowd already hates the Dems.
English
@itsmedanielfc The only people I see objecting to this are committed partisan Dems
I am also skeptical that anyone who is not but has a big problem with associating with a dubious podcaster is gonna vote MAGA instead

I’m not somebody who wants us to lose by shrinking the tent to exclude anyone that sucks, but this guy sucks

@AnalyticaCamil1 Lol as if anyone in the Trump administration behaved like an employee of the state, not of the people in charge
English
You understand that you’re supposed to be the Department of Defense’s spokesman, not Pete’s, right?
Sean Parnell@SeanParnellASW
This allegation is entirely false and fabricated. Neither Secretary Hegseth nor any of his representatives approached BlackRock about any such investment. This is yet another baseless, dishonest smear designed to mislead the public. We demand an immediate retraction. Secretary Hegseth and the Department of War remain unwavering in their commitment to the highest standards of ethics and strict adherence to all applicable laws and regulations.
