The only substantive aid it delivered, was aid Israel in the massacre of Palestinians. Team America at it again.

Reading the Wikipedia it seems quite unlikely, but then again maybe it’s also written by a bot.
I’m not a fan of American foreign policy at all, but following the European news lately I don’t know if our governments can be trusted without the US providing security.
I fear that the moment European nations need to be serious about their own defense they become way less trustful of their neighbors, creating all the incentives for an arms race. Especially with the current crop of nationalist politicians it’s not hard to imagine a serious cool down in the relationship between a France and a Germany lead by Le Pen and the AFD (in a coalition government or not). In such a world it’s suddenly way less pleasant to be a smaller nation that can not seriously compete with Germany or France.
I really hope I’m wrong and that we truly learned the lesson from the second word war, but I think not needing to provide our own security plays at least a role in the relative peace within the EU member states.
If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck; it is not a duck.
Hey, let’s not resort to racial slurs.
(Btw love the picture they chose in the article.)
I know there are a lot of upper-class Tories with a stick up their ars that voted Brexit, but if I think of a Brexit voter this is what I see.
Hey America, ruin our economy further you c*nts, it’s really appreciated.

Gotta love big naturals, them tit-ass biggies.
I’m starting to get the feeling that we are both repeating ourselves, but this is not a just a side effect, it is systematic. Turning an idea into property means only capital can play the game. In effect patents do two things: Firstly they inhibits innovation, the exact opposite of what they are supposed to do, this should be ground enough to get rid of them. Second they entrench big players, big players have more money to play the patent game and so tend to win patent fights regardless of merit. So besides not achieving their so called stated goal they also have a huge negative externality. And all this before we even take patent trolls into account.
It requires capital to obtain a patent and to defend a patent, workers are inherently excluded from this proces.
It’s a legal tool that turns ideas into property. This allows capital to exercise power over it and profit through it, and on top of that inhibits innovation. So l’d say there is no use or abuse, it’s a bad legal framework that doesn’t achieve societal benefits.
I tend to be principally against patents in general, as research suggests they actually stifle innovation rather than incentivize it. But in this case I’d say ‘let them fight, and may they both lose’.
Oh no!
Anyway.
The world we live in… where you can’t spread misinformation in support of a possible genocide without being called out.
The UNWRA allegations were extracted using torture. Israel tortured UN workers.
If your blood isn’t boiling yet from what the west is sponsoring in Gaza, you can have some fun learning of what Belgium (and the US) did in the Congo after they “left”.
Make a cookie clicker that makes you feel like you’re learning a language, mix in some strange sentences for free meme advertising, add a weirdly violent owl. Boom infinite money unlocked.
I forgot the name of the specific tactic, but basically what the Bush administration did was leak unsourced information to the NYT and then after the NYT published it, the Bush administration used the NYT as source for the unproven claim. They did this multiple times. The NYT was knowingly used to launder lies that led to hundreds of thousands of deaths. And they are doing it again.
Think of how many Palestinians have been brutalized as a result of these heinous accusations. The fact that they canceled the Daily episode about this piece indicates that they knew something was fishy. The NYT is complicit.
And finally does it matter if they are either comically inept, or criminally evil. It has the same effect on the world and there should be consequences for their actions.
Quelle surprise, Google wants to violate your privacy.
What is the over under on the return of Hilldog?
I find it almost impossible to believe they will continue running Biden, but then again I did not expect them to let him run again from the start.
