It's not fighting "nationalism," it's fighting centuries of imperialist aggression from the north

~~I thought the PR referendum was: "status quo or nah?" and status quo won. Independence wasn't really an option, neither was statehood~~

"These colors don't run!" I say as my military escort takes me to the airport

is just that its oil exports go through three chokepoints

And most people travelling to ksa go through one of two chokepoints (Jeddah or Riyadh airports). Both Iran and Ansarullah have struck airports, looking to cause economic harm. Of course they wouldn't specifically target WWE, but if the airport where it's being held keeps getting struck by missiles every month, it looks a lot less desirable. Multiply that times however many other glitzy sportswashing bullshit events ksa is doing

And of course the WWE wouldn't care about putting their employees in danger, but the insurance will at least cost more

And the the meat being grinded is Russians.

"Ukrainians aren't in the meat grinder" is an insane thing to say when "Busification" is a word

"I don't want to play with you anymore"

-NATO, as it drops Ukraine and hopes for a profitable DMZ that doesn't waste as many interceptors.

Eh. He can say what he wants. He says the Gulf of Mexico is now the Gulf of America, he says Lake Ontario is now Lake America. Those changes reflect online for Americans, but for the rest of the world they keep their name.

Ooooh. Good point. It would be very funny if he just "annexes" canada via the GNIS (the database through which he "renamed" gulf of mexico)

“The sculpture is not directed against the European Parliament, Quite the opposite," Galschiøt said in a statement. "It is about the attempts by the great powers to dominate, control and reshape the world according to their own interests. Trump is an extreme and very visible symbol of this development. I have made him naked and covered him in gold because sometimes satire can say things that political language cannot."

This came dangerously close to actually-biting satire if you acknowledge that the old liberal order IS STILL PROPPING UP TRUMP.

But, no. Apparently Europe is above criticism, and we're supposed to ignore that the frail old man is doing everything in his power to keep Trump upright.
