esr has always been an asshole

Progress

they really think of themselves as god's chosen and the rest of us as human-like animals

An aging population does that.

The US locked itself out of its biggest market and at the same time protected Chinese semiconductor companies from competition.

I didn’t know that Putin wrote for CNN

The US is run by out-of-touch ghouls who still think it is 1991

die USA die

Germans don’t mince words

Do they accept people from non-western backgrounds?

Given the complete disregard to human rights and international law demonstrated by the US in Occupied Palestine, wouldn’t Russia be excused in taking the gloves off against NATO in Ukraine?

the violent invasive fauna

the people right? the natural fauna was already there.

Why do you think Western leaders were very upset when Khashogji was killed but not a sound as Israel kills over a hundred journalists?

I really can’t seem to figure it out…

Saudi Arabia cannot legitimize Israel, but Israel can delegitimize Saudi Arabia.

If Saudi Arabia normalizes with Israel hundreds of millions -if not each and every Muslim of the 2 billion total- will see it as a confirmation and validation of the Hadith that praises Yemen and the Levant but curses Najd.

Link to Hadith plus explanation in Arabic: https://www.islamweb.org/ar/fatwa/134719/

Rough Google Translation:

O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: O Allah, bless us in our Levant and in our Yemen. They said: And in our Najd. He said: There are earthquakes and tribulations, and from there the horn of Satan will rise.

I personally don't think the Politico story is true. The risk is too damn high for the House of Saud. They will lose all legitimacy domestically and internationally.

They think everyone has unqualified leaders like the US

Arabic media is reporting that the Kursk invasion has failed and Russian troops captured tens of Ukrainian soldiers

Urban Hejazis aren’t tribal.

It is funnier when you know the soldiers won't get the care they need when they go back home. That's why better injured than dead.

At least the one in my city closed. The majority are on the other coast, so I should be good.

I hope the peace deal with Iran and negotiations with Yemen, mean that this is just another weapons contract -tributes- to buy US Congresspersons and nothing more.

Nothing good can come from this.
