  1. The 2024 Us Presidential Election Thread

    Both Sanders and Warren both underperformed relative to Harris in this election in their home states for the Senate Races. It's clearly not just a desire for far-left politics that's driving people into the arms of Trump. The anti-incumbency explanation makes somewhat more sense given their age...

    https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-29411109 What happened?
  3. Anti-Semitism

    And she knows that idea is a non-starter or completely disingenous: everyone in Israel and the Arab World knows about the failure of Lebanon and the economy/political/military dysfunction of a multi-confessionary system. She would probably know personally given the heavy influx of immigrants...
  4. Saudi Arabia owns SNK

    The sports team related stuff is more likely elite competition with the other GCC aka the Kings Club (like how Qatar hosted the WC). Qatar for example bought a French Soccer club in 2011/2012 as part of way to get the WC...
  5. Anti-Semitism

    Given her stance on Israel: doubtful.
  6. Saudi Arabia owns SNK

    He's a gamer apparently according to people that knew him and of course Saudis (and a good chunk of the Middle East) always had a fascination for Japan (due to Japanese softpower, the rise of Imperial Japan and its post-War economic rise ). Also helps that it has a monarchy like most of the GCC.
  7. The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    Looks like realDonaldTrump is going to be unbanned soon...
  8. The 2022 Midterms Thread

    Her attempt at claming a false flagged terror plot against her also failed: https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/3732519-police-find-no-powder-in-suspicious-envelopes-reported-by-kari-lakes-campaign-office/
  9. The Twit destroying Twitter is a Twaitor

    He is also on friendly terms with the second-in-command of the Communist Party of China (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Li_Qiang) in that they worked together to set up the Tesla factory in Shanghai. This is btw the same person who turned Shanghai into a prison camp for two months in 2022...
  10. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Putin takes care of his friends. Just ask Berlusconi, Schroeder and Yanukovych.
  11. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Apparently the portrayal of the Tony Stark character from the MCU movies was inspired by Musk: https://evannex.com/blogs/news/72327877-jon-favreau-discusses-elon-musk-iron-man-and-tesla-model-x-on-the-jimmy-kimmel-show
  12. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    He is not that sort of agent. He was a caseworker as in a bureaucrat/paperpusher operating in Dresden, most of the action was in Berlin and West Germany apparently and charitably he was maybe cultivating assets to obtain publicly availabe information like military training manuals. Uncharitably...
  13. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    More likely they realize it creates a dangerous precedent if a nuclear power that's losing on the battlefield can just threaten everyone with nukes for an automatic win. That basically guarantees Taiwan/Japan/South Korea (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_latency) potentially going for...
  14. UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    They probably also have an exit plan to emigrate to some other anglophone country or to the European Union.
  15. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Who else other than Megatron likes to attack energy infrastructure such as nuclear power plants (https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/russia-has-resumed-shelling-around-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-power-plant-ukrainian-official-says), oil refinaries...
  16. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Most of the dissenters probably have already fled or are buried in a mass grave somewhere.
  17. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    The point was to give these powers a stake in the UN and a guarantee that it couldn't be used against them while their future participation gave the UN legitimacy. France with the vestiges of their Empire and a desire to be the third pole in the Cold War and the USSR with their influence in the...
  18. UK politics thread – meet the new boss, same as the old boss

    William is even worse apparently especially if you believe the rumors. Edit: For example his whole tour of the Caribbean was pretty much a disaster.(https://www.newsweek.com/prince-william-kate-middleton-disaster-tour-caribbean-cost-uk-public-expensive-1720308).
  19. Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    Al Jazeera is literally a propaganda arm for the Qatari government, the guys busted for using slave labor (https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/campaigns/2019/02/reality-check-migrant-workers-rights-with-four-years-to-qatar-2022-world-cup/).
  20. Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine

    Technically most of the "oligarchs" (in the 90s Yeltsin era sense) and current ruling elites (the so called siloviki) had origins as Soviet era apparatchiks of various sorts. I think the late Karen Dawisher has argued in a lecture that many of them robbed the Soviet state and undermined...
