Just when I warmed up to the idea that NATO was a necessary evil to counter Putin’s worse evil.

The current tech-related usage was coined at MIT to mean working on a system. Funny that the oldest recorded source comes from MIT model railroad team.

“Prosperity Gospel” seems such a copout for cult-leaders to justify getting rich on their congregation.

So much for “eye of a needle”…

I’m not forgetting anything. I’m just enjoying two enemies fight it out.

Funny thing is he’s the first American pope.

You’d think that counts for something and they would be yelling “USA! USA! USA!”. But nah, a pope espousing some actual Christian values is terrible according to them.

5-6 years conversion and then killing the pope using his cringe. What a run!

Maybe keep him away from this one? Throw him a nice leather couch to distract him.

Poorly photoshopped “tattoos”.

As long as the cheque clears, they don’t care.

Or worse, meet face to face with JD Vance and die of cringe the next day.

And any tattoo can and will be interpreted as a gang affiliation. No matter the mental gymnastics required.

Nah, just roll over and yell “FREEDOM”.

“The party of small government”. Tries to gobble up neighbours and allies.

Or very likely make mistakes. Vigilantes is nice in comic books and movies, in real life it turns terrible very quickly.

You mean “saved billionaires trillions” /s

Something something red line. Something something nuclear war. Same old boring saber-rattling which translates to “stop defending yourself!”

Who the hell is that guy in the thumbnail? That’s certainly not JD “say thank you plwease” Vance.

Neither does the U.S. Customs and CBP apparently.

Or maybe they play along hoping the next US election cycle allows them to join NATO.

Would it be better? Yes! Is it possible? That would depend on Russia and they don’t seem very eager.

As for Ukraine coinciding chunks of their country, it was tried before (Crimia) and the result was Russia getting overconfident and trying to grab the whole country. Sadly sometimes use of force is the only way. Hopefully, this increase will lead to forcing Russian to negotiate for peace.
