Don’t forget that as a slap to the face to students calling for divestment from Israel, both parties sneakily shoved in another bill alongside this one that sends another 26.3 billion dollars to Israel.

Free speech in AmeriKKKa is looking good! Americans should only rely on true, red-blooded, patriotic, and megacorporations like Microsoft and Google with their data!

Another bill that was added on was an Israel aid bill that sends Israel and the IDF a further 26.3 billion dollars.

"Western Alliance" of California, Texas, and Florida teaming up to take on the entire US after the "first" "explicitly" fascist US president gives himself a third term. Supposed to be a "Liberal People's Revolution" in support of """true""" American democracy. There are absolutely no leftist symbols, analysis, slogans, flags, or rhetoric to be found.

Seemingly very little focus on politics except surface level liberal centrism of "uniting against authoritarianism". Also, absolutely no mention of leftism except as a hostile force, as LGBT characters are seen prominently as part of the invading rebel forces. Also a scene of the rebels blowing up the Lincoln monument for some reason.

Weird "civilian" discourse that seems bizarre in the face of Palestine as there are scenes where the US Air Force bombs US civilians, soldiers fire indiscriminately into crowds, and its all played off as a horrible tragedy despite the common American sentiment in favour of Israel doing the same thing.

The trailer's ending seems to imply the rebels miraculously take DC and save American democracy in one fell swoop.

Lastly, the fascist US president is Nick Offerman. Yes... The Parks and Rec guy, and the gay Last of Us character.

“ALERT! Suspect has stolen: “Snickers™ worth: $1.49” … “Please hold still for the sniper, criminal.”

Isn’t this because Kissinger pushed the US into allowing the PRC to claim the Nationalist Chinese’s seat on the UN Security Council, and getting the PRC recognized after the Sino-Soviet Split?

Also what do you expect from Putin?

Imagine an FSB agent going to a bombed out village in sub-Saharan Africa, from which UN forces just bloodily expelled ISIS fighters, and that agent trying to convince the villagers to all get up and move to Britain because Russia wants them too.

To the people of Donbas who have been bombed and killed for over a decade at this point… Ukraine never stopped being a thing.

Doesn’t really work, Soviets of all races and ethnicities along with French and German communists are still horrifically despised. Their violence is also seen as “unjustifiable”.

Wow, I didn’t know that the UN didn’t recognize Ukraine as it’s own country, and that Ukraine doesn’t have membership to the UN. They should get on that…

Wait…. They do! That’s so weird!

Fuck off

This doesn’t show much of “rising tension”, that’s just media fearmongering.

All that happened was that the loan agreement ran out, and they haven’t gotten around to making a new one. The pandas have been prepped for movement for weeks at this point.

This isn’t just between the US and China. Zoos cannot legally buy and sell animals for cash, favors, property, or any other asset, in an effort to undermine animal smuggling and poaching. Instead there is an international system of trading where zoos will trade and loan animals to each other like Pokémon cards.

This isn’t a political move either; a lot of US zoos are private entities and thus a lot of them treat their animals like shit. There are some beautiful incredible zoos in the US, but a lot of them should be razed to the ground in their current state.

The Ukraine War is the modern WW3 version of the Spanish Civil War.

All the majors get to fight each other discretely, test out all their new toys in the field, and support fascism abroad without risking anything domestically.

The population was actual stable until Andrew Tate moved there, which instantly and singlehandedly caused a migration crisis.

Also most peasants and poorer people in general relied heavily on subsistence farming till far into the 20th century, and a clear field/“lawn” indicated you were rich enough to the point where you could buy your food and not worry about feeding yourself.

In Operation LAC, US Army engineers sprayed St Louis with radioactive particles, biological, and chemical agents over the course of several decades to see how long term NBC and fallout damage affected civilian population centers, and the human body.

The sprayed a dangerous bacteria to mimic anthrax, zinc sulfide (highly radioactive), and various chemical weapons from planes, and from dispersal trucks parked on the downward slope of the mountain overlooking the city.

The targets were primarily schools, hospitals, elderly care facilities, and residential areas, as they contained the largest amount of targets.

This was part of a larger experiment as well. Other targeted cities include, San Francisco, Minneapolis, Corpus Christi, Springfield, Detroit, Toledo, Toronto, and Vancouver these are the ones the Army had admitted to as they covered up most of the operation.

Other tested areas include vague references to “All states east of the Rocky’s”, “Entire Mississippi delta”, “Native American reservations”, and “The entire Canadian border”.

They also covered the entire North Eastern coast of Britain.
