As a Swede I agree with this message

Mainstream archaeologists are retard grifters.

One of the oldest sites around, and they are coming up with any reason not to excavate. One could only assume TPTB want to keep some things buried.

Russia will escalate in the smallest way possible that is still effective. Launching nukes from those subs would not be a small escalation and it would be retaliated against while those nukes were still flying upwards.

But I agree with you that the US won't react to the provocation by attacking Russian ships, but they probably will shadow their ships with ships and airplanes of their own.

When someone like Scott Ritter wants to travel to Russia to speak at a conference, he isn't technically aiding and abetting the enemy because the US has not declared

Russia to be an enemy (despite all that has happened so far). But if he was a former intelligence agent, restricting his travel is understandable.

But the kremlin spokesperson has now called the United States an enemy nation. I do not know if that is equivalent to declaring war. But if the US declares war on Russia, my language about this conflict will change because under wartime, free speech can be far more supressed and and consequences for speech can be far more serious, and I'm a practical kind of guy that doesn't walk in front of tanks (no disrespect to Tank Man). Call me a coward, I'll call myself "still alive".

Anyhow, here is my question. Russia has sent ships to the Caribbean to do "drills". But Russian ships in the Black Sea have been somewhat easy to sink with surface drones. Couldn't the US sink Russia's ships in the Caribbean with Ukrainian-level low-tech surface sea drones? That would be kinda funny if the US did this and acquired the drones from Ukraine.

I strongly disagree that Linux is totally superior to Windows. That's objectively not true for Performance or UX.

Increasingly, it’s difficult to impossible to use Apple Devices without being leashed to iCloud and all the attendant nonsense that entails. Google/Android isn’t it, either (in before reply guys).

It might be a pipe dream, but we need a third option, not just more Android derivatives.

The US has been the dominant empire for along time, the power center of the world. If power indeed attracts corruption, then we should see corruption in the United States. But we don't. Everything is normal and fair. Audits of the Pentagon add up properly, right to the last dollar. Weapons sent to allies are used strictly for war and not sold on black markets. Justice is equally apportioned and justice is blind. The media reports only the facts. The government just wants what is best for you. The Trump conviction was just normal justice playing out, a criminal getting his just treatment. Joe Biden was never charged because he is a sweet and completely innocent dear old man.

.... do you see how ridiculous that sounds? It's hard for me not to just roll on the floor laughing that there are still people that believe such tripe.

No it doesn't show any "shift in tone torward crypto". It's a PR stunt which could lead to more money for the election campaign. Don't give your bitcoin to dementia man or orange man, they don't give a flying fuck about bitcoin (or cRyPtO for that matter).

I think it’s adorable how the Club of Rome, World Economic Forum, “give us all the power” globalists started with “coming ice age” then flipped to “global warming”, then settled on “climate change.”

Now when they sell their “emergency”, which requires you give them power and money to “save humanity”, they can use any event as “proof”. Even forest fires resulting from neglect.

Imagine how much profit you could make convincing people they are all gonna die unless they give you all the powers and monies

I’m gonna start telling people to “convert” into #bitcoin rather to “buy” bitcoin.

It makes it sound like real money that you can use as savings instead of a “risky investment.”

Microsoft Recall is basically Genisys but from Microsoft.

Remember when the EU had standards to enter the Union?

I guess the Ukraine is the perfect black hole to pour money into.

Europe and Socialism

In Europe there is no free market, the economy of the nations is centrally planned through subsidies.

The percentage of taxes collected by the Eurozone exceeds 50% of GDP. A large part of these taxes are used to subsidize sectors that politicians consider strategic, but this never works, because personal corruption always prevails.

The result is that all technologies are born in the USA, Japan, South Korea or China.

This system of subsidies also applies on a small scale. Immigrants receive subsidies that allow them to live without working, and the same applies to local people, in many countries the incentive to work is being lost.

Private property is not respected either, favoring those who occupy houses illegally.

We have reached the extreme that some people live with a salary higher than the minimum wage required by law, and do not pay for water, electricity or housing.

Europe will become Argentina 2.0.
