Kevin BeaumontToday, Russian leader Vladmir Putin called Tuesday "Power Plant Day", said he would blow up civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and steal their energy sources.
Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei has delivered a message about his warfighter being sent by Allah. Allahu Akbar! Allahu Akbar!
Russia declares it will bomb Ukraine’s trains, bridges and power stations (and so stop water processing) to directly harm civilians unless it gives control of its oil to Vladimir Putin.
President of China declares the entire civilisation of Taiwan will die tonight unless they replace their government and hand over their energy.
Andrew Deacon@GossiTheDog His majesty King Charles III has informed the USA that, if the 13 colonies do not return to Royal allegiance by 2000 hours, the USA "civilisation" will be annihilated. (Sarcasm of course).
atraidez@GossiTheDog how much is enough for people? Same as it ever was, living in the evil empire, not caring as long as we have our conveniences. We deserve everything the rest of the world thinks and believes about the citizens of this country; the United States of Imperial Fascism.
johnofrobotz@GossiTheDog When do we address the failed government of the unchecked world superpower seeking global domination?
derZeitreiser 🇪🇺🇩🇪🇯🇵🇬🇧@GossiTheDog Oh, the happy faces of people in Iran, when he bomb them back into stoneage.
I still dont understand, why no one in the US stops this lunatic.
@derZeitreiser @GossiTheDog Because he's been embedding loyalists and nationalist extremists at all levels of the government since his first term. The system of checks and balances is failed. Our representatives are too corrupt, weak, or just stupidly ineffective to stand up to him. If our elections this year don't swing this around, god help us all.
@johnofrobotz @GossiTheDog "If our elections this year don't swing this around, god help us all."
Why do so much american ignore the facts that there is no such thing as "proper election" in fascism?
@derZeitreiser @GossiTheDog It's the same reason you see other countries taken over by authoritarian regimes are unwilling or unable to make significant change. It's no different in the US and there's an equal number of supporters to the opposition either out of fear or agreement. Neighbors against neighbors. And the people who have the real power to remove him won't. So we rely on raising our voices for now until they try to take that away.
Even when the man is finally removed or exits the office. He is only a symptom of the problem. We still have a greater threat of the Nationalists embedded in our government that are eating away at our constitution, and that will not be going away any time soon.
@johnofrobotz So much absolute useless words.
It's fascism. fascists don't go away if you ask nicely.
End of story.
"and that will not be going away any time soon."
Correct. Because of people like you.
@derZeitreiser Brave words coming from a disconnected perspective. What do you think is the solution?
@johnofrobotz "Brave words coming from a disconnected perspective."
If you say so.
Have a nice day.
In the fascism you choose.

Steffie 🏳️⚧️ :rubber_pride-heart-600: :triple-moon-transfem: @GossiTheDog Nothing removes radicals and calms the people like indiscriminately bombing them and their infrastructure
Nyx@GossiTheDog
What he doesn't seem to realise is this will also give Russia the go-ahead to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine.
Europe and the rest of the civilized world need to be prepared with something a bit stronger than saying they "strongly condemn the actions of the US regime".
VessOnSecurity@GossiTheDog I must have missed the moment when regime change to less radicalized minds happened...
noplasticshower@GossiTheDog nice analogy
Lenora@GossiTheDog taking their cue from Trump
Jan-Willem Markus@GossiTheDog I've been inverting the news for a while now. It doesn't mess with my head as much anymore. It does clearly show how broken the world is.
accountalreadyinuse@GossiTheDog Is not the same.
The Ukraine never hurt or threatened Russia. Iran directly threatend Israel, and went to extreme measures towards this goal, incl. developing a military nuclear programme, funding terrorist groups such as Hezbollah, etc,
Iran aims directly at civillian populations using cluster-bomb missiles (a plain crime of war), while Israel does its best (mostly successfully) to avoid any civillian casualty, even when targets are located at or near civillian population centers.

That is what Trump, the pedophile does.

@GossiTheDog This whole Holy War thing seems familiar. Is this like a reboot or a remake? /s
RegisteredHereMedieval envy from a country that didn't experience the real thing the first time around.
Flip them all@GossiTheDog So, the moral is don't fly combat missions over enemy territory on Good Friday?
EXE 🙏@GossiTheDog true they're starting to look like radical violent christians which is almost and even sounds weird to say "radical christian"

I don't set much stock in organised religion, but Hegseth getting the pope to go full bible quote on him is quite the feat.

Pope Leo XIV went on to recall the prophet Isaiah’s words: “Even though you make many prayers, I will not listen: your hands are full of blood”.
“Jesus is the King of Peace, who rejects war, whom no one can use to justify war,” said the Pope.
Huubje@GossiTheDog "... serious violations of international law by the US, Israel, AND Iran in the war."
I'm pretty sure one of these is not like the others, or invading.
