BETRAYAL.

The United States has just demonstrated that there is no ally they will not betray. No agreement they will not unilaterally break. No act of friendship they will honour.

A vast majority of you, the American public enabled tonight's tragedy. You were told point blank by your president that this was his plan and you voted for it anyway.

Black holes do not suck everything into them like a vacuum. It’s more like a Cookie Monster, shooting debris into all different directions. And this doesn’t happen unless it crosses the event horizon. If Earth was a black hole, the event horizon would be about 2cm in diameter. Particles within an object would spin so quickly creating magnetic fields which adds to the direction of any mass caught in the gravitational pull. Stars are bobbled up through spagettification. 🖖
