  • When your response to complicated situation that could be solved with non-violence is to send in the military - that's right wing

  • It's been a long standing right wing fantasy of sending the us military to deal with the cartels

  • Euthanasia is a human right

  • Maybe the first time so many people got directly asked 'are you willing to sacrifice to protect those weaker than you?'

    They can't really pretend anymore.

  • Yeah but she was a sitting senator so she was in the club. She was a black woman so she ticked the right boxes to balance out Bidens white man. And she was a prosecutor who worked well with the police so she countered the defund the police message thay centrist dems were sure would sink them.

    She was a very very logical choice for Biden's VP.

  • Yeah, they're so weird about not wanting to be shot in the back

  • Because people with the @lemmy.ml tag are constantly saying the dumbest tankie shit ever.

    When I see someone say Ukraine in 2014 was a CIA backed coup against the democratically elected pro russian government - it comes from that server, every time

  • It's great, and I have no idea what the website looks like. I use 3rd party apps on my phone exclusively. Something Reddit doesnt let me do.

  • After trump won tesla stock shot up like a hundred dollars because everyone thought elon would leverage the win into more money but now people don't think that's the case so it's going back to where it was before the election

  • If they were truely conned sure. But most of these guys just thought the pain would be placed on others, not them. They're fine woth others suffering, but the tears start to flow when they experience anything negative at all.

  • Accept the annexation and in 10 years the entire US government will be run by Canadians. Just look at their entertainment industry, they can't resist our Canadian charms.

  • They are extremely low trust and simply can't believe they're not getting fucked by everyone else secretly

  • Every burger ad you've ever seen - the patty has veen painted with motor oil so it looks as tasty as possible

  • The only way to address the drug problem is for the government to sell a clean supply of whatever drug you want, at cost, with access to addiction treatment.

    But that would mean millions of cops losing their jobs.

  • In 2014, NATO members pledged to aim for defense spending of at least 2% of their GDP by 2024. This agreement, formalized during the Wales Summit, was a response to Russia's annexation of Crimea and broader global instability. However, this target is not legally binding; it is a political commitment designed to address underfunding and encourage burden-sharing among allies[1][2][4].

    Countries are not obligated to meet the target because NATO lacks enforcement mechanisms. The pledge allows flexibility, requiring nations to "aim" for the goal rather than mandating it. Members can prioritize other defense contributions, such as troop deployments or equipment investments, which are not directly tied to GDP percentages[1][5][7]. Additionally, critics argue the 2% metric oversimplifies defense contributions and does not account for qualitative factors like military capability or willingness to engage in operations[5][8].

  • The reason the US wants that 2% spending today is because they know we're going to hand that money to US weapons manufacturers and trainers.

  • At least the pain will be immediately felt by farmers, the biggest trump supporters

  • If the old people can't afford their treats there will br hell to pay

  • It's not a great sign when the wsj is harder on trump than the Washington Post or NYT is. Really shows the capture of those institutions are complete

  • Yeah I think him killing himself would be great for them, any prisoner outside of a private prison killing themselves is great for them, and the infrastructure if the criminal justice system is built that way
