Yeah but Biden has always been way more Pro israel than israel has been pro Biden. When Biden was arguing with Menachem Begin about Israeli attacks on lebanon, Begin thought Biden was insane.

Telegram is litterally the source given in most of Danish State Broadcaster's articles about Ukraine. It even got me into trouble with our IT-department because I clicked one of the links in the article, since apparently Telegram is mega-blacklisted on my work-computer.

Not sure what color scare we are on currently, but Denmark also recently had a politician from the SocDems walk into Parliament and talk about how Denmark has a problem with "immigrants who are well educated, speaks the language, works a job and contributes by doing volunteer work in their local communities and nevertheless hate Western civilization and plots its downfall". I'm doing a rough translation of his words, because its hard to convey the nuance in his wording.

This specific SocDem has been condemned by a bunch of local politicians from the same party, but has received the backing of our incredibly racist prime minister.

Unfortunately, the parliament is in lockstep agreement when it comes to doing bad shit or selling out to the Americans. At least the German atlanticists seem to be getting something out of their bargain with the Great Satan, while our leaders sell us out for a fucking pat on the head.

Y'all, Danish State media was WILD in the first couple of days after he croaked. Like, referring to him as opposition leader / leader of the opposition, just showing clips unedited of his wife in Brussels and interviewing a bunch of fail-kids in academia who all have ph.ds in Putinology (I think they call it Russian Studies, but the main thing they all come out with are opinions on Putin sourced directly from the State Department, which is annoying because we aren't fucking Americans.

Sure, but isn't Argentina kind of already written off in that regard? As in, nobody really believed that they would be allowed to begin dedollarization when they're up to their eyeballs in Debt, and the only country that could conceivably save them is China, whom they keep antagonizing.

So the Danish government just gave a Security Statement (not sure if this means a security guarantee, or if this is the same type of agreement that Hungary and China just signed) to Ukraine for the next 10 years, proving that the Danish SocDems and our Liberals are functionally hitlerites (though we mostly already knew that part). Jesus fuck I hate this fucking country

Trump does all the same things that Biden does, so the ruling class have no reason to do anything to influence the election. And trump did give them a massive tax-cut back in 2017-2018, while biden increased the corporate tax rate. Furthermore, the ruling class is in no way agreeing on basically anything regarding policy other than "empire good and taxes bad".

Nah, it's just so it wouldn't be called Canada US and Mexico deal, which it was rumored Trump wanted it called. But unfortunately we were not allowed to live in the world where "Trump signs CUM Act" becomes a legitimate headline.

Bourdain was an average Burger, so nothing surprising there. But his quote about beating Kissinger to death (preferably with a frying pan) still sticks because it was said after Bourdain did a tour in Cambodia and firsthand saw the end-goal of Kissingers supposed genius.

Well, Denmark did the West Wing shit back in november and managed to have an election result in a coalition government that split power 3 ways. Our SocDem retained the prime minister position, with the newly crowned centrists of the Moderates taking the Foreign Minister post and with the tradional right wing party "Left" getting the position of minister of defense. While Denmark has a bunch of other ministeries, these 3 were the big ones that the coalition had to divide amongst themselves, which is why it somehow took about a month before we had any fucking government. Said coalition has then been speedrunning the austerity playbook and straight up removed a public holiday, tried to workshop a reform of higher education that would more or less cut a lot of programs in half, oh and they also managed to spend a shitload of public money buying artillery systems from Israel.

Anyway, after experiencing this amazing "not-polarized" coalition, most Danish people are at a loss for what to do next, since we tend to just kick out either the socdems or the centrist liberals whenever they do something stupid. We had a lot of talk from our big unions about a potential general strike, both as a result of the removal of the holiday, and also because inflation was skyhigh when it became time to do contract negotiations. Said strike never materialized, because our unions are cucked and at their weakest since the 1940s.
