  1. one point about NATO thinking about NATO. If I were Europe and my once closest ally threatens us with Russia’s talking points, bully Ukraine & threaten a takeover of Greenland, I’d carefully rethink housing of US military bases given all this betrayal of trust. With Trump freezing US military aid to Ukraine, and if he starts undermining NATO even more as he’s threatening to do, can Europe still count on these longstanding bases in terms of allied intelligence and security? Here’s what’s at stake: US military bases in Europe have long been stable pillars of transatlantic security, housing key personnel, intelligence sharing & nuclear deterrents. If Trumps’s actions signal obedience to Russian command, keeping such bases could pose far greater strategic risks than benefits, especially if they become a direct channel to Moscow under Trump & Hegseth. At best- an intelligence risk. At worst- an unthinkable extension and incursion of Putin’s military on European soil. Many complex factors: These bases aren’t easily dismissed and can’t be dismantled overnight- vital to rapid response, logistics, medical facilities and the overall anti-Russia deterrence architecture that has helped maintain stability post WWII. Any decision to alter US military presence in Europe must be weighed carefully. And certain bases are more critical than others. Removing them could create a security gap at best, or a direct threat at worst, while Europe scrambles for a viable, non-US alternative. At stake is not just immediate defense capability but the broader strategic autonomy, influence & unity of Europe. NATO’s relationship with pro-Putin Hungary (a member) is already tenuous. A bold move could force a shift toward an integrated European defense system. The big question: Do we risk instability by clinging to an untrustworthy ally in the US that is clearly taking orders from the Kremlin, or do we seize the opportunity to build a more independent, resilient defense framework?
  2. The whole Shown as Cringe AF. But the money spent on Mice Transgender? AtF was that?
  3. The only thing weirder than that orgy of factual inaccuracies, severe exaggerations, misleading characterizations, unsupported claims, motivated reasoning, and logical fallacies, was the Democrat's lack of organization and inability to formulate a response that tells the American people why they should vote for them instead of the the party led by the man that just gave the most unhinged speech ever made by an American President.
  4. In 9th grade biology, our teacher told us a story meant to scare us straight about intravenous drug use. A guy she knew- hooked on heroin—started shooting up his penis. Over time, it turned gangrenous & rotting. Doctors told him they needed to amputate. But no matter how festering & putrid it got, he refused. Because, after all, it was his one and only penis. And if that isn’t the perfect metaphor for MAGA voters, hooked on the lies, clinging to 🍊 as their one and only, I don’t know what is.
  5. @Unlimited what about doing a Healed vesion of what Tate do. Like this guy here https://www.patreon.com/posts/attack-on-men-123473839?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_fan&utm_content=web_share
  6. Zelenzky posted on X https://x.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1896948147085049916?t=LKuPvy5ityjYyB1zh6P6TQ&s=19 The comments are sometimes hard to read. People are consumed by Rage and Trump adoration.

  9. And imagine that now Tate if free and having the back up of the President of US. What can we expect from that?
  10. Here is for example one article on Reuters about OF https://www.reuters.com/investigates/section/onlyfans-exposed/
  11. I always ask myself of how many OF accounts are actually agencies runned by man grooming girls, even maybe underage into making a profit. Human traffic is still going on.
  12. Maybe we are too focused on Trump and Putin and not realizing that there are billionaire tech people behind the game. A king head can be cut easily. Dont you guys ever watched Game of Thrones? When we think one character is the most powerfull and importan, suddenly the character is sent to oblivion and we scratch our heads thinking " Whoa,so now ,who is exactly behind of this?
  13. Watching the whole interview put alp into perspective. Vance lashed out in the moment Z said that Putin broke the cease fire even during Trump Years. That was the trigger to Vance come up and bullie up. Before that the talk was all Trump Pose as a diplomat. Is all about keeping image to the great public. Trump cant lose faith from the ones who idolise him. No one dares to say the devil is not the savior and the perfection embofied. He have a image to keep intact. Otherwise his strong man facade falls.
  14. Moderators can send this one to Entertainment in case it dont fit well the dialogue. But I feel a good comedy is good sometimes. Lets not "Cancel Comedy"
  15. "The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot... ... Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark..." - Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot
  16. I have a real question. I’m being sincere: Who on the left is thinking about the future and how tech is folded into it, the way Yarvin and Thiel and other dark enlightenment/neo-reactionary ppl are? Why does AI seem pre-ordained to be used for wealth extraction and neo-feudalism and not for public good? Genuinely asking bc it seems like the left has resigned itself to managing decline and not actually creating something to look forward to
  17. This make sense in watching Zelenzky and Trump Interview. What would be the most inteligent thing aligned with Good amd Love and God in that moment? A punch in that Fat face!! Actually someone did a AI version where Zelensky punch Trump into unconsciousness.
  18. I have feeling of leaving Europe. But the way corruption works, there is no other place to escape what can come from the continuarion of this human story.
  19. I thought the same thing, but he probably would not get out alive from US if he did it. Remember that Trump is a Devil with Fan club
  20. Let's talk House of Cards; the secret sauce of Elon's branding of himself as a genius. SpaceX is valued at $350B on just $10B revenue—a 35X multiple. Carlos Slim pulled his $7B Starlink contract, so revenue dropped to $3B. What’s SpaceX worth now? Even if SpaceX monopolized all satcom orbital launches worldwide, they wouldn’t break even. And besides, every nation has or is building its own launch capability. SpaceX was always a Starlink delivery vehicle—for an overpriced, non-scalable service. Why does Elon's valuation game matter? Because "the richest man in the world" isn’t sitting on $600B in a checking account. He lives off loans backed by his company’s stock—aka billionaire margin life. And guess what? He’s been selling. Newest episode of the podcast “Tech Won’t Save Us” was all about Musk and the fake value of his companies. Specifically how close Tesla actually is to collapse and how Musk is stuck, if he starts selling then margin calls happen, which then target more margin calls. Like a game of jenga, if Tesla collapses Musk is dead broke and in billions in debt. As far as actual cash money, he is essentially broke right now.
  21. Let see if they will not become revengefull now against Romenia.
  22. Anyone saw DJT video of Trump Gaza on his Instagram? Disgracefull.
  23. Question: Is not the case that one of the many problems with our Dear West Civilization is not to much of the Content of it but the very Structure upon where it was built and evolved? Ex: Greco-Roman https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_institutions_of_ancient_Rome If the whole building is built upon deception and artificial unrooted principles, what to expect from it when the complexity reach a point where the ossification of the structure is to much and it lacks the flexibility to evolve. Compare with a body that for lack of movement and exercice and proper diet start to become ill and rigid. Collapse and Death is inevitable.
