    International politics/current affairs musings. Feel free to disregard:

    idiot shows his lack of foreign affairs knowledge
    • How long do you think before Fox News turns on trump? looking more and more like hes gonna lose, continued support is only gonna lead to civil unrest which I am sure they dont care about, but they would care about looking like they supported a loser.

    -I sort of understand why they arnt doing it, but I would love to see Ukraine call a snap referendum in Kursk about leaving the Russian Federation and joining the country of winners instead. I hope this incursion leads to things calming down and putin signing an agreeable treaty, but I doubt he is gonna go down quietly.

    • I cannot WAIT till the EU shows its teeth and puts its boot up Elon’s ass. How quickly he threw on the victim mentality shows how pathetic he really is. Love seeing bullys get smacked down.

      The whole Trump saga will be interesting. If he loses, he knows he’s done. Court cases and verdicts looming. He might fuck off to another country.

      His extra moron followers will martyr themselves for him, and in 12 months only the absolute loonies will still carry on about him.

      Elon is acting tough in public, but will cower like a kitten in courts. He’ll pay the fines, and then some to probably keep shit quiet and on his platform he’ll announce victory.

      Twitter will be mostly dead in a while unless he leaves.

        I dunno, I think the porn and nazis probably hold it together for a while.

          Oh yeah, but it’s not going to be influential and broad as it was. The niche demographic can only sustain it for so long.

        I try my hardest to avoid all things US politics, and I still feel saturated by it. I don’t click on articles about it, I never click on Google or YouTube links about US politics.

        Yet, somehow my feed is still regularly seeded with the stuff. I have no idea what the algorithms do to people who engage with that content, but it’s got to be some next-level doom scrolling.
