UN vote to condemn the enslavement of Africans during the transatlantic slave trade. The countries that voted against are, of course: USA, Argentina and Israel. As far as I can see the entire western world abstained.

At this point I’m no longer surprised. The western world is filled with abhorrent fascists. Absolutely disgusting… so called free world my ass.

🛡️ NATO & Global Security: Fact-Checking the Rhetoric (March 21, 2026)

The digital sphere is currently flooded with calculated disinformation regarding the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. From misrepresentations of Article 5 to outright falsehoods about defense spending, the narrative is being warped by political agendas.

It is time to separate populist noise from strategic reality.

We have compiled a specialized technical and geopolitical dossier to address the primary misconceptions circulating among the American public and global followers of certain political factions. This isn’t about rhetoric; it’s about the raw mechanics of collective defense, the reality of the burden-sharing agreement, and the technological necessity of a unified front.

Key points addressed in the full report:

The Fiscal Reality: How NATO funding actually works (vs. the "protection money" myth).

Article 5 Integrity: Why the core of the alliance is non-negotiable for global stability.

Technological Sovereignty: Why decentralized infrastructure is NATO’s new digital shield.

Stop following the script. Read the facts.

Denmark says “thank you” to the U.S. regime — and kindly offers two hospital ships in return. Apparently, they’re equipped for presidential “treatment.” Sometimes diplomacy needs… medical support. #Denmark #USA #Greenland #Transatlantic #Democracy #Trump
Dear American friends, could you please clear the stage? The clown act is blocking the view of democracy. We’d really like to see the institutions again. #Democracy #RuleOfLaw #CivicValues #Transatlantic
