That's how I'd make sense of it.

Putin's power draws from his adversaries and foreign policy. He is very weak domestically, mostly at the behest of the oligarchs that run the entire domestic policy show.

Putin muscling around internally usually has to do with the oligarch's stance on foreign policy or the other oligarchs are wanting to eat one of their own.

I really hate that this is some of the toughest public language I have seen about Israel from an American official.

The shareholders will benefit greatly from more war.

Country buys foreign material, uses security.

The zionists won. It doesn't need reminding.

A movement tried to make Palestine a relevant political issue for the electorate. It got stomped out. I don't get this sentiment to keep stomping.

I had to look this up.

Damnit I want these for America.

They're being lobbied to pursue charges against a children show host for expressing sympathy for starving children.

Precedent shows they follow the instructions of the lobbyists with the biggest and/or most recent check.

So it'd be a strongly worded statement of support for the extrajudicial slaying of a human rights activist, because that's already the norm.

Interesring thing to note: doing any and all of the above to people along politically ideological lines is not considered genocide. Millions of civilians have been exterminated because their politics were not national, ethnic, racial, or religious.

Additionally, those kinds of shitbags routinely get tossed out of respectable places. What brings the manosphere, and things like it, together is usually a shared experience of rejection and isolation.

The 800 miles of separation North-South.

C'mon let this establish precedent so I can get 'deported' to the home country after 150 years.

Also, why did she get sent across the country from San Fran to the SeaTac area? Is Washington acting like the Louisiana of the West Coast, what the fuck?

It's on brand for people who unironically refer to Russian conscripts as 'Orks' without any sense of irony.

I don't think finding foreign nationals fighting in a war necessarily means their government regime is sending them.

There's a lot of foreign fighters in a lot of conflicts without representation or protection of their government, and I'd be curious if that case is different here.

The Saudis are separately at war in Yemen and against the Houthis and have been since I think 2015.

The Houthis have just endured a decade of fighting a US backed coalition, which isbwhy they've become increasingly capable of expanding their operations to interfere with shipping lanes unrelated to their direct civil war.

MIC knows it must sustain war and conflict and will always play all sides to keep the orpham crushing machine going.

If it stops, or even threatens to slow, well... stonks go down faster than any tarriff effect.

Campaign funds that were there to fund a losing message.

The electorate wanted a break from Biden, and if Harris' campaign funding relied on not breaking with Biden, what does that tell you about the influence and intent of that funding?

There has been more movement towards changing that in the last year than I have seen in twenty years combined. Hope isn't yet dead.

Basketball diplomacy builds good will.

The status quo, indeed.

It's acting entirely in the moment. It's an ideologically vapid approach that is the realm of the pure grifter.
