lmao 

Biden administration slowed Ukraine arms shipments until his term was nearly done

"...months-long internal debates."

Joe Biden receiving sage counsel from Jake Sullivan at these "internal debates."

[Nintex]

Sounds like Trump removed all the restrictions

 "Let's make a deal"

[killamajig]

For the non-Amerikans, David Bowie and Rammstein got you covered.

Colombian President Says Cocaine Is Only Illegal Because It's Produced In Latin America, 'Not Because It's Worse Than Whisky'

Gustavo Petro added that legalizing the drug would prevent criminal organizations from profiting and resources from the industry could be destined to fight consumption among young people

Never done cocaine, is this true?

LOL, TIL the exploding pager operation from Mossad was called "Operation Grim Beeper".

[Nintex]

After Trump said that he put orders in place in case he got taken out to destroy Iran, Bibi gave him a gold pager. Makes you think. 

[killamajig]

After six months, russia has still not dislodged the Ukrainians.

Putin sucks. 

When russia breaks up will Trump buy Kaliningrad? New Königsberg, sounds nice.

[killamajig]

Also in the news....



Ukraine did not sit out of the 6-month anniversary.

A Russian spy ship caught fire off Syria’s coast, officials say. Here’s audio of its broadcasts

https://apnews.com/article/russia-nato-spy-ship-audio-mediterranean-syria-2e6c4d6fa184d7333a3001344f2ea58c

The man is insistent: Our ship is in difficulty, so keep your distance, he instructs another vessel over the radio.

“Warship on your course,” he says. “I am drifting. I’m not under command.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he wasn’t aware of a fire aboard the Kildin and didn’t say what the ship was doing at the time.

He dismissed suggestions that it reflected poorly on Russian naval readiness. “Assessing the state of the fleet based on the breakdown of one particular ship or one particular malfunction is not professional,” Peskov said.

Translation: "Our shit navy is not a reflection of our shit navy."

American cars

[Nintex]

I just want cheaper Asian cars tbh.  

The way I see it the EU should just double down on tourism, culture, healthcare, agriculture, trade, (bio)tech, sports, food, fashion, luxury goods etc. .
People are angry that the US calls Europe a 'museum' but museums are sophisticated, cultured, clean and interesting. 

Just let the Americans, Indians and Chinese compete to sell us their shit at the lowest price, while they empty their pockets in Amsterdam, Paris, Milan and Berlin.  
Close the borders to those Russian savages and most of Africa and the Chinese, Arabs, Japanese and Americans will be happier for it.

I'd rather have "Gen Z boss and a mini" blowing off some steam than unemployed migrants for which we have no jobs anyway. 
She'd love to visit but she's afraid there is a rapist or pickpocket on every street and she isn't wrong.

Nobody wants american cars because they're shit, ugly and way too big to be of any use to anyone with the money to buy one

The one american car brand that sells in Europe (Ford) has to make cars specifically for europe

The other day I was sort of lost wandering among some residential streets. And there was a hummer parked next to a house. Some houses in Tokyo are quite narrow and it was actually comparable in size. No idea how it even got there with how thin the streets are.

Feel the same when I visit Europe. A Ford F150 would get wedged in some streets I'm driven through.

[Potato]

At least a European car will make you feel something. American cars just make you feel like you've been ripped off.

first I was hoping for the clip from MST3K Laserblast where Mike quips the Fix Or Repair Daily but there wasn't an individual clip of that so I went with this as a backup

Quoting myself here because as I was trying to figure out where I was, I noticed you can see the hummer on Google Maps. Not talking Street View. The oaf is visible from a satellite. And it hasn't moved since 2019.

Isn't this like a sign to signal: "Biggu dicku American lives here" to lure in the stray kittens  

In Europe it really depends where you are. Towns with canal streets are narrow but with boomers buying more SUVs parking spots and such are becoming bigger.
It fucking sucks though, it is now normalized to just swing your car door against the adjacent car if your vehicle barely fits in between 2 other cars.

Sometimes I just stand and watch as the whales climb out to see if they damage my car and it makes them very uncomfortable.

Hell yes, finally.

Thank god the Paki groomer gangs can operate safely with all those skanks roaming the streets.

This is the "find out" part of the FAFO equation

https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-02-12/nsw-health-minister-on-online-doctor-veifer-video/104926206

Two NSW Health nurses have been stood down after video emerged showing them allegedly bragging about killing and refusing to treat Israeli patients.

The clip was shared by content creator Max Veifer speaking to a man and a woman, both of whom have been confirmed to be health workers from Bankstown Hospital in Sydney's south-west.

---

When Mr Veifer tells the male nurse he is from Israel, the man responds that he will be killed and go to "Jahannam", a place akin to hell in Islam.

"I'm so upset that you're Israeli," the man says.

"Eventually you're going to get killed and go to Jahannam, inshallah."

When Mr Veifer asks why he is going to be killed, a woman comes into the frame of the video.

"It's Palestine's country, not your country, you piece of shit," she says.

The woman says that his "time will come" and that he will die, before her words are beeped out in the video.

"When your time comes, I want you to remember my face so you can understand you will die the most disgusting death," she says, before adding that she won't treat Israelis.

"I won't treat them, I will kill them," she says.

The man then tells Mr Veifer he sends Israelis to Jahannam as he makes a threatening gesture.

"You have no idea how many Israeli dog[s] came to this hospital and I send them to Jahannam," he says.

The circumstances preceding the pair's comments are unclear as the video contains visible edits.

Well assimilated, I’d say.

Breh, 75% of France's power has been nuclear for like 50 years.
