Doesn’t help that dod pentagon is so big because the USD is so strong. Kinda bad for national defense if the dollar loses value.
Looks at the USD forex over the last month. Umm, I think I have some bad news…

While it is possibly true that pro nuclear weapon proliferation advocates (do they really exist ?) may be happy the sub headline of
“Weapons contractors could not be happier,” is certainly not true for the US MIC anyway. In the last week alone Portugal cancelled their F35s, and Trump refused to sell (not gift) hundreds of millions of $s worth of Patriot missiles they were happy to pay cash for. European MIC companies like Rheinmettal and Saab are happy because they’re now getting the orders that would have otherwise gone to the US.

I think that’s when a fishing boat puts on some guns and radar and starts calling itself a battleship ?
Quite the opposite

“All cars source at least some parts internationally, but some are more “American” than others. Cars.com’s American-Made Index ranks the “most American” cars and one brand has topped the list consistently for the last several years: Tesla.”
Other posts make good points, I’d just add there’s also the risk associated with Mango Mussolini deciding to fix (lack of) popularity issues with a war, his 51st state rhetoric is enough to suspect that Canada (and Greenland) are top of that list
Yeah, that worked so well last time he tried it, sure, give it another go, why not ?
Good. It’s a start
If you’re making the group then your call, but the name sounds too sunny & positive to anyone who doesn’t have context to hear the irony.
Also housing crisis is what it’s referred to in many places internationally.
I’d suggest “housing crisis” if you want it to get subscribers. Too much subtlety and it’s just going to be ignored, imnsho.
What a fucking wanker. The journo who wrote this an utter knob.
To address the headline, incremental improvements create pressure, doesn’t have to be a purity test, just deliberate avoidance as much as practical.
Without even reading the article I’ll bet Betterridge’s law of headlines applies
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge’s_law_of_headlines
Betteridge’s law of headlines is an adage that states: "Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no.
It was ICE detaining him not the judge. The authority for ICE to detain him over rode the judges ability to release him

German president Paul von Hindenburg thought that he could “control” Hitler, and that he wouldn’t do the extreme things he promised in his election speeches, and thus brokered his move into the Chancellor’s position in a minority govt. I think we all know how that turned out.
Almost a century later the barons of Wall Street have just had the same “oh shit” moment the German conservatives had in 1933
I feel like hydrogen is little more than hope.
Pretty much. It doesn’t have a lot going for it at this point - maybe one day
The Scots wiki had the same problem. A teenage American who didn’t speak Scots edited and created 10s of thousands of entries
For those not aware Scots is a Germanic language that split from Old English back about 700-800 years ago - closely related to modern english like frisian is, but also retaining many words lost to english (some of which are retained in Swedish / Dutch etc). It is distinct from standard scottish english.

I think Putin can take credit for Mango’s efforts, no ?
While I hate to agree with anything a Muscovy spokesperson says, I would agree that UA special services is a very likely explanation
