The follow up tweet is quite good;

Joe Biden has stood up to everyone who threatened this great nation, from Vladimir Putin to Anita Hill. And he supports women and minorities, based on that seemingly random lady he chose to be his vice president.

The play is getting Russia to take a part of Ukraine for itself in exchange for NATO membership for Ukraine. As a kind of buffer zone for Russia. Obviously, the US would gladly give up whatever part of Ukraine and at least half of the Ukrainian population in exchange for encircling Russia more.

They are gambling that Putin would take territory, since the average Russian would see it as a much bigger win than the usual boring geopolitics manoeuvring. They can put Ukraine into NATO if Ukraine loses and Russia agrees to it, the US would control Ukraine completely if that happened.

That was the premise of the first UA-RUS deal that was close to being signed very early on into the war, but NATO sent Boris Johnson to tell Ukraine that they aren't allowed to negotiate.

FP article on Ukraine is quite funny. Russia wants to leave captured territory in exchange for Ukraine being neutral, the US wants to offer Russia territory in order to get Ukraine into NATO - https://archive.is/Ylpt9#selection-4797.0-2364.61

“Land for [Nato] membership is the only game in town, everyone knows it,” says one senior western official. “Nobody will say it out loud . . . but it’s the only strategy on the table.”

ICE is creating a group of people to shoot the undesirables, a kind of free corpus of people.

It will be a limited ground incursion, in the sense that Israel will completely blanket the area with bombs before doing anything on the ground. And they can do it forever, since the US will just give them more bombs.

Moderate Trump!!

Obamacare was a great stepping stone towards universal healthcare, that is why we must all oppose any kind of effort to achieve universal healthcare today.

It is indeed!

Intel's 15,000 layoffs, citing "margins are too low," comes five months after the Biden administration's CHIPS Act gave it an $8.5 billion gift, $11 billion in favorable loans, and $25 billion in tax cuts, on the promise to hire 10,000 people.

P.s.: if you have an Intel 13th/14th gen chip, especially an i7 or i9, check for BIOS updates and underclock it in order to prevent permanent degradation.

Article 5 doesn't exist. NATO does whatever the US wants at any moment, it doesn't matter what any article or contract says.

Expected. Iran didn't respond right away to the Israeli attacks, but instead wanted to get Biden to deescalate and get Israel to stop being so insane. Biden refused and here we are.

Not directly related to this, but I just remembered when the cops shot up that UPS truck with the hostage inside. The hostage was killed by the cops and UPS apologized to the cops.
