I don't see that growing up next to Auschwitz makes you an expert in this area. It wasn't a Nazi salute, and that should be obvious.

It absolutely is a Nazi salute, and it should be obvious to anyone. >>I don't see that growing up next to Auschwitz makes you an expert in this area. Something about being taught about this stuff endlessly at school and seeing it brought up all the time in your immediate neighbourhood makes you recognize when it happens - I guess that's just how it works.

As someone who literally grew up next to Auschwitz - the attempts to excuse Elon's Nazi salute as anything but exactly that are just sickening. Those who don't study history are bound to repeat it, indeed. "My heart goes out to you" - a man literally doing a sieg heil. Bloody hell.

Nah, they're not building anything. China and India will never agree on substantive issues. South Africa is a failed state and Russia may be headed in the direction. BRICS is a total joke.

> China and India will never agree on substantive issues. And the US and Russia do? (G8) South Afica is the largest economy in Africa, 13% of the continent's GDP. Your views on its political state doesn't change that. And honestly, as an American, I can't say my country is doing better than SA. Sure they have more crime, but at least they don't have a military force dedicated to ethnic-cleansing migrants . Lol, sad t…

You missed the point. The G8 isn't an alliance either.

China is doing much better than the West. The only thing keeping populations from imploding here is the constant migration from the third world.

I don't understand. You say China is doing better than the West, and then explain why the West is doing so much better than China.

The West isn't doing better.

The West is destroying third world countries to take their human resources. Blowing up the middle east created more uber eats drivers than defunding all the schools in Detroit ever did.

It was effectively quashed but not debunked: https://www.cato.org/blog/mueller-report-faqs https://www.acslaw.org/projects/the-presidential-investigation-education-project/other-resources/key-findings-of-the-mueller-report/ I could go on and on but I don't think it would make a difference. It continues to boggle my mind that the GOP, a party that for all of my life had been an enemy of Russia turned around and embrac…

No it was debunked. It was always a conspiracy theory without evidence. I have read the Mueller report, it says no evidence was found of conspiracy (collusion). I can do better than regurgitating links at you and making handwaving claims about how I could go on and on, I can quote you verbatim passages which say just that. Where is all that "ample evidence" that Adam Schiff, as chair House Permanent Select Committee…

> I have read the Mueller report, it says no evidence was found of conspiracy (collusion).

You absolutely did not read the report, you listened to Barr’s brief lie about what was in it. There were endless examples of collusion and people in Trump’s inner circle found guilty of collaborating with the Russian government.

Let me guess, you also think Paul Manafort did nothing wrong?

It's not great that they found starlink terminals on Russian drones (they've since tried to lock them down more). These should be export controlled and geo-locked as they are arguably much more powerful than any missile.

Cappy army on YouTube had an interesting analysis on the starlink usage in russia. https://youtu.be/Fpt8dYAwK7c?si=x5pp9vfKdwXM947c

The usage is in Ukraine

The “opposition” attempted to assert the congressional authority the branch is supposed over war powers, and were defeated because the American public gave majority power to the current majority whom rejected that authority to the executive branch to do whatever.

The “opposition” that oversaw the Gaza genocide.

No, they are, in the words of German Chancellor Merz, perfectly happy to let Trump do their “dirty work.” All the better if it blows up in his face.

In fact, that’s the whole reason why Trump is in office and not in prison. Because after October 2023 Zionists don’t accept “no” for an answer.

> You can. Just not in any way that matters. And you won’t. I’ve gotten language I wrote passed into state and federal law. The bottom line is a lot of people are too busy, lazy or nihilistic to call their electeds and show up to create political pressure. That’s unfortunate. But it also means that the payoff for relatively small amounts of effort are huge.

Did that language imping on the interests of America’s ruling elites, its security apparatus, or the interests of a certain entity in the eastern Mediterranean? No? Then we’re talking about entirely different things.
