you think that other countries SHOULD give Trump what he wants, because (you think) he's more likely to nuke them?

When Putin talks to a Russians he consistently says that they invade Ukraine to destroy the state and nation and correct the path of history. NATO and similar framings are just for the useful foreigners.

Maria Popova @popovaprof.bsky.social · 9d

Pu spells out Ru's imperialist motivations for the war. He calls the conquest a long-held dream and historical destiny.

He beclowns those who insist NATO expansion caused the war. Let's see if anyone from the Mearsheimer fan club admits the claim has been falsified.

the point is that no one acts as if he will, whereas they tiptoe around Putin way too much

The way you know the "restrainers" are a bunch of morons is that none of them hand-wring about how the rest of the world needs to give the US everything it wants because we'll nuke everyone if they refuse

I mean, I'm definitely not a finance guy. No one should consider this any sort of advice (except the "go outside" part.) Who knows what will happen. But I do not trust the zeitgeist on bluesky anymore. People think that things are way worse than they actually are for the vast majority of Americans.

Well this is interesting, re: the Qatar announcement. The story is dated 2022 but says "The Qatar project dates to 2017 when the United States inked a $12 billion deal..."

I don't know whether the deal is a good or bad thing overall, but the fact that it's not new or sudden changes the context.

I've seen zero coverage note that that plan has been in the works since 2017, which some experts say was during the first Trump administration.

I've been hearing "russia's economy is on the verge of collapse" every month for 3 years. If *they* are hanging on, despite waging war and incurring international sanctions, we are going to be fine.

Meh, I don't believe we're going to have a real market crash. People here were dooming about that in April and then about empty shelves in June. Everything is actually pretty normal. Go outside.

Awesome! I bet you feel better. I went out to lunch with my stepdad and worked on some tutorials this afternoon so my dooming has been minimal today.

More street vendors taken by ICE today, according to rapid response team & neighborhood reports.

Masked men arrested one of Pilsen’s longtime tamal vendors near Damen and 21st Pl, by Chase.

Those ladies are very loved by the community. I bought tamales from her many times.

I almost never read it for Ukraine news. So I feel well informed, but the disadvantage is that I don't know what info normal people are getting.

NO TYRANTS 2 RALLY

We rose up once, and on October 18 we’ll rise again—because one protest isn’t enough to protect our democracy. Rise up and say it loud: no thrones and no crowns for a wannabe tyrant king! 🚫👑

And apparently mainstream media is not covering much of the Chicago protests either so I got him caught up. He was shocked to find out that ICE is shooting people in the face (with pepper balls, at least so far).

This has been your normie report.

Note: he is liberal and we agree on most stuff.

Kevin (Antifa 414th Moral Support Battalion) @kevinlikesmaps.bsky.social · 5h

I went to lunch with my stepdad and he always asks me about Ukraine. I asked him what he knows - he's a normal person who watches MSNBC and reads the local paper. Apparently the media gives impression that although the war isn't over, Ukraine is doing fine. It's debatable what "fine" means but...

"old lady has to go down 12 flights of stairs to get water because russians knocked out the power and the elevator doesn't work and there's no water" isn't a visual story like drones are so it doesn't get told as much, and then people assume everything's basically fine in Kyiv or Dnipro or wherever.

...he clearly thought that Ukraine was pressing forward and the action was mostly at the front line (he had heard about the refinery strikes though). I told him that russians hit several cities far from the front lines with a massive attack last night and he was surprised. Our media sucks ass.
