WORLD—The arms race is heating up between the U.S. and China. Just last week, China revealed its brand new "space nukes", which are capable of easily nuking any country on the planet. The United States responded swiftly to the provocation by unveiling the world's first trans admiral.
"China, you've been warned," said Biden to a Chinese food delivery person he mistook for President Xi. "Our transgender admiral is fully armed and operational. If you cross us, we will unleash the full fire and fury of this deadly weapon upon you, make no mistake."
Military experts say that while a space nuke is somewhat impressive, it pales in comparison to the awesome power of diversity. "With Rachel Levine serving as admiral, nations around the world will bow before the terrifying might of our transgender empowerment," said General Milley. "We must pursue peace through strength. Strength of inclusivity."
Biden insisted that there is no weapon yet conceived that can top Admiral Levine and that he will gladly accept China's preemptive surrender.
Admiral Levine was not available for comment as she was getting her prostate examined.

In their colossal self-regard, Secretary of State Antony Blinken and his chief negotiator Robert Malley promised Iran what it wanted — sanctions relief and an open path to the Bomb — before the negotiations had even begun. Naturally, the Iranians pushed for more, played for time and prepared for the day of victory. And now, to the shock of the State Department, they’ve announced a new set of demands that undo the hypothetical progress achieved in the previous six rounds of talks.
Checkmate. Now, it is possible that the US will surrender and get some kind of deal that John Kerry will call a return to the JCPOA of 2015. But this will be an exercise in face-saving — and it will only happen if the Iranians let it happen. If I were them, I’d keep pushing. Iran is now not just on the threshold of nuclear weapons; it’s on the threshold of finally defeating the Great Satan, expelling the US from the Middle East and Central Asia, establishing an empire over the Arabs and nuclear-tipped intimidation over Turkey and the Europeans.
WASHINGTON, D.C.—As Russia appears poised to invade Ukraine, Biden today issued a forceful statement warning Putin that if he does, America will evacuate haphazardly and leave $86 billion in weapons behind.
"Listen, folks...for real this time...no joke... I ain't kiddin' around here," said Biden to a gelatinous puddle of quivering goo on the ground he mistook for the press. "If Russia invades Ukraine, we will send a bunch of troops. And then we will immediately pull those troops out and leave all our state-of-the-art weapons behind. I'm not even messing around, Jack!"
General Milley confirmed that this tactic was a proven battlefield strategy used in Afghanistan and has promised to use it without remorse should Russia ever cross the United States. "If Russia invades, they will face the consequences," said General Milley, "in the form of billions of dollars worth of rifles, machine guns, night-vision goggles, and Black Hawk helicopters, left just for them."
"I'm warning them. And by that I mean, I will call Russia first and warn them," he said.

The United States has been expanding NATO Eastward for the last 30 years.

So what? If a country wants to join a defence treaty why the fuck some FSB midged is supposed to have a veto power on it? It's not right neither legally nor morally.
Why the fuck should Poland/Lithuania/Estonia/Latvia/Hungary pass up the opportunity to secure itself from another occupation by the fucks hellbent on restoring Russian Empire?
The bullshit about Russia being afraid of being attacked by the West is just that - bullshit. If the West didn't attack them in the 90s when they were literally in shambles, it's not happening now, period. Who exactly is planning to attack them? Merkel? Makron? Please!
The West has been bending over backwards to disarm Russia's neighbors: took Ukraine's and Kazakhstan's nuclear weapons in exchange of "assurances of territorial integrity",
The whole "orchestrated coup" is a pile of Russian propaganda horseshit.
Because part of the agreement with taking down the Berlin Wall so that German reunification could happen, was to stop NATO expansion.
"RBTH: One of the key issues that has arisen in connection with the events in Ukraine is NATO expansion into the East. Do you get the feeling that your Western partners lied to you when they were developing their future plans in Eastern Europe? Why didn’t you insist that the promises made to you – particularly U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s promise that NATO would not expand into the East – be legally encoded? I will quote Baker: “NATO will not move one inch further east.”
M.G.: The topic of “NATO expansion” was not discussed at all, and it wasn’t brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a singe Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn’t bring it up, either. Another issue we brought up was discussed: making sure that NATO’s military structures would not advance and that additional armed forces from the alliance would not be deployed on the territory of the then-GDR after German reunification. Baker’s statement, mentioned in your question, was made in that context. Kohl and [German Vice Chancellor Hans-Dietrich] Genscher talked about it.
Everything that could have been and needed to be done to solidify that political obligation was done. And fulfilled. The agreement on a final settlement with Germany said that no new military structures would be created in the eastern part of the country; no additional troops would be deployed; no weapons of mass destruction would be placed there. It has been observed all these years. So don’t portray Gorbachev and the then-Soviet authorities as naïve people who were wrapped around the West’s finger. If there was naïveté, it was later, when the issue arose. Russia at first did not object."
You're not stupid, I'm absolutely certain, but I am so fucking tired of the propaganda being repeated to me.
I'm so fucking sick and tired of people that, DESPITE knowing they've been lied to into the Iraq War, the Syrian War, the bombing of Libya, this fake BULLSHIT "pandemic" still are talking like anything this FUCKING government says is true. WHEN, WHEN do you lose your fucking faith, your stupid childish trust? WHEN? Is it possible? What the FUCK DOES IT TAKE?
Our work should be in educating the young that NPR is their enemy.

What "propaganda", you stupid fucking fuck? Wasn't Ukraine disarmed of its nukes by US and Russia? It most certainly was.
Did fucking Obama press Ukraine to give up their last stockpile of enriched Urainium in 2010? YES, HE DID - IT'S ANOTHER FUCKING FACT.
Step down from the fucking soapbox and learn some facts.
The 2024 election will begin soon enough, and in some ways it's already under way in much of the media. Concerned about the status of their party's candidate, the mainstream press is already floating trial balloon replacements like this…
…only to find out how comical such a thought is to the vast majority of Americans at this juncture. As it stands for Democrats, if Biden doesn't run, there's no easy way to get away from running Harris without undermining all of the identity politics nonsense they have chosen to embrace and foist upon the country.
On the Republican side, it is increasingly clear that former President Trump will run for a second term. When he declares, it will be virtually impossible for anyone else to claim the nomination, and anyone who tries will be seen as a turncoat to the MAGA millions, thus curtailing any political future in what has clearly become Trump's party. Consequently, it's far more likely that most potential rivals will either bide their time or cozy up to the former president rather than challenge him.
All of this means that, for now, we are likely looking at a Biden/Trump rematch, signifying there will be more on the ballot than just the candidates. Riding on its outcome will also be every claim of 2020 voter fraud, the charge of a stolen election, and the declaration of an illegitimate presidency. In other words, 2024 is shaping up (for now) to be a 2020 sequel with twice the rancor.
Unconvinced that a vengeful Trump can rein in his temperament enough to win, folks on the Left are becoming increasingly panicked by the emerging theory that the former president is playing the long coup. Axios had the story, as did the Atlantic before them.
The premise goes like this: Trump attempted to have his minions overturn the 2020 election by getting the state legislatures and key election officials in the swing states he disputed (Georgia, Arizona, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin) to certify Republican electors rather than Democrat ones, claiming the official election outcome that showed a Biden victory was the result of fraud. His effort failed because not enough Republicans in those states were willing to go along with the scheme. Since that time, Trump has been diligently working to destroy and remove those "disloyal" Republicans and replace them with loyalists who will do his bidding in 2024 should the opportunity arise.
I have to admit finding the whole theory pretty humorous. One thing I remember so vividly from the Trump term was the tendency of his supporters to spin any bizarre or inexplicable tweet, statement, response, or action as being part of some master political gamesmanship the rest of us just didn't understand. "Trump is on a whole different level," they would say, alluding to the former president playing 4D chess above our heads. Liberal elites in media and the DNC mocked the MAGA legions for such a belief, but now as they speak of this "long coup" strategy are essentially claiming the same thing: "Trump the mad political scientist is outsmarting us all."
I get that the Dems loathe the man and can't stomach the thought of his potential return to power. But there's a far more plausible path for President Trump returning to the White House that they should be focused on. And it's a path that has absolutely nothing to do with Trump.
Build Back Better has, like it or not, become the signature legislation representing the Biden administration, and it's an unmitigated disaster economically. To call it a flop is an insult to LeBron James, as the policy threatens to exacerbate inflation, which is already at alarming levels.
Vaccine mandates are being struck down as unconstitutional (obviously). It's one thing to be the president who tried to do something popular that later gets knocked down by the courts. But pushing something unconstitutional and unpopular is not a good statement heading into a re-election campaign.
The anti police posturing has failed, crime has soared, and violent crime has reached unprecedented levels in cities across America.
Covid fatigue is real, the specter of lockdowns continues to haunt the economic climate, and failed mitigation strategies continue to be imposed on people without justification. That's especially bad for a president who built his campaign around "shutting down the virus." The complaint Biden used successfully in 2020 was that Trump wouldn't listen to science. In 2024, Trump will use successfully the fact that Biden has manipulated the science.
CRT debates have morphed into challenges of parental rights with the Democrat Party lining up behind teacher unions and lobby groups while Republicans are seen as fighting for parents.
And then there's this:
Joe Biden reads instruction off teleprompter:
"End of message."
I understand the leftist impulse to obsess over Trump has not worn off. But truth be told, if he does return to power in 2024, they'll have no one to blame but themselves.
Not just NPR. EVERYBODY. Anything called a "reliable source" in the United States is merely propaganda

When you try to quote statistics (from the CDC and VAERS) that contradict the narrative of the vaxxers they respond, "where do you get your news from?". I have heard that exact quote from three different people.
While Biden’s Numbers Tank, ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Chain Of Stores Expands To 10
"Business is very, very good right now."
In these areas and more, the Biden Administration has placed politics and ideology above the interests and lives of American citizens, not to mention Afghans and migrants. Of course, the mainstream media and congressional Democrats will never truly hold this White House responsible for its actions. In this midterm election year, it falls to the American people to do so. By ousting Biden’s elected supporters, voters can begin to turn the page on his disastrous presidency.
With more COVID deaths in 2021 than 2020, when does Trump get his apology?
