🤬🤬putin says “russia isn’t planning to fight European countries… but if Europe starts a war, russia is ready right now.”
Classic Kremlin logic:
threaten everyone -
then pretend to be the victim.
Nothing new.
Nothing surprising.
Just another day of russian “peace”

DRAM prices are spiking, but I don't trust the industry's reasons why

Apparently the same people that told us "trade wars are good, and easy to win" are now telling us the Special Military Operation in Venezuela "won't be hard."
That's reassuring.

Using taxpayer money to buy bespoke platforms WHICH WE STILL DON'T OWN, is like paying a builder to build your house, and then the builder OWNS the house.

Demolishing the East Wing of the White House before finalizing plans for what will be built above its ruins is a near-perfect metaphor for Trump's approach to economic policy. The only difference is the wrecking crew doesn’t claim the rubble is evidence of unprecedented growth.
