Or Musk could pull Twitter out of the EU.

That would be so wonderful. The EU economy would probably take off just from the saved time/brainpower, lol.

If the U.S. even thought about invading Mexico, I would support Mexico arming themselves to the teeth.

But Mexico is clearly not worried about it. It would be so catastrophic for the US, even if it somehow succeeded.

How would the US react if the Russians supported Mexico in joining a military pact against the US, so that the Russians could build military bases and install short range nuclear weapons in Mexico and point then at the US?

This a convoluted scenario, as why would they do this in the first place? The US, as big of an asshole as it is, is not invading Mexico. Mexico is not the least bit worried about it.

Ukraine was very worried about Russia invading them, for years, for legitimate reasons. And what does Russia do to alleviate those fears? Repeatedly threaten them, then actually invade.

A gun happy neighbor you are complicated friends with is very different than a gun happy neighbor who is repeatedly saying they want your house. If the situation afterwards feels unfair, well, that's Russia's fault for getting there in the first place.

And if the U.S actually postured itself for invading Mexico, for heavens sake, I would want them to arm themselves to the teeth.

In spite of Donald Trumps own statements during the pandemic...

And that, you know, he got hospitalized with covid.

That practically broke the internet, and its like everyone forgot.

• Because it sells/trends.

• Because they're all glued to Twitter.

• Because the Trump crowd is kinda right, they suffer from group think.

• And because they're salty that the White House all but hoodwinked them, insisting that Biden was fine, which they clearly should have been more skeptical of.

I don't really buy the theories that the media conglomerate leadership is pushing for it. And I'm not calling them incompetent or anything, but clearly they weren't clear eyed with this issue when a large swathe of the public was.

And I'm not talking about Republicans. My mother would literally vote for a Hitler/Stalin ticket before Donald Trump, she despises him so much it's hilarious, but even she thought Biden was way too old to run. Even before the debate.

You are right lol.

edit:

Still, they are hyper focusing one flub instead of the meat of the speech.

This would be so much better if the Biden campaign didn't act like they were in denial.

If he's so hell bent on being president... OK. But he needs to come out with Kamala Harris, and emphatically say "I'm old. I know it. And I'll lean on my cabinet and my vice president, heavily, and do what we've been doing." Not act like everything's hunky dory when everyone knows it's not.

Act like Harris is an equal! Put her front and center! They can have their cake and eat it if he just puts his pride aside.

And here come the sound bites.

This is the problem. I don't want to excuse Biden, but even if 95% of the speech is fine, the 5% is all 99% of readers will ever see.

I've learned that whenever there's an inflection point in Israel, the outcome is "whatever helps Bibi."

So... I wouldn't bet on that, as the consensus seems to be that a prolonged war helps him stay in power. I don't know how, but somehow the ceasefire will not work out.

This must be so weird for NATO officials in the room. The future of NATO hinges in him... and it really has nothing to do with the message he conveys, but how he says it.

Is it better for NATO if he flubs it, and gets another candidate in? Worse? shrug

I wouldn't bet against it.

Is anyone on the apnews link without adblock?

I'm trying to give them revenue, but...
