OTD in 1939 Nazi Germany staged the Gleiwitz incident. After accusing Poland of ethnic cleansing against his countrymen, Hitler staged a false flag to justify invasion & genocide. Imagine such bullshit being tolerated today....

A Russian man is waiting in line at a gas station. “I’ve had enough of this,” says the man to his wife. “Take the wheel, I’m going to go shoot Putin.” Two hours later he returns and sits back in his seat. “Did you shoot him?” Asks the wife. “No, the line to shoot Putin is longer than this one!”
Russia's fuel crisis is bad, and every indication is that it will keep getting worse. Once a major fuel exporter, Russia has now become an importer that can only produce 70% of the gasoline it needs. And drone sanctions hit more refineries every month. September will be big.💥

Blue Sky is steadily turning into the same sort of sewer Twitter became, just from the other ideological direction. If you are here just to pick fights and your replies or comments are clearly in bad faith and abusive then I’m just going to immediately block you. You aren’t worth my time.
How are we supposed we supposed to mobilise the unwilling masses if the police are also immobile?

So if Ukraine was in NATO, the war would not have happened. Sharp as a cue ball.

4 days ago The Pentagon fired the editor in chief of Stars and Stripes. Yesterday they broke the story of Elsie Dominguez, a civilian engineer who was raped repeatedly by the Captain of a Navy ship she was on. They keep trying to silence the press & quash the truth. Elsie’s story must be told:
Lawsuit over sexual assault aboard Navy transport ship dismissed as worker’s comp issue
The order handed down this month closed an attempt by a civilian engineer to get justice for an assault she said threw her life into shambles.

The United States is taking aim at Canada once again, with a crushing new set of tariffs. Ultimately, government will need to solve this. But in the same way Canadians are avoiding US alcohol, produce, and other goods, they should get off US tech products too. Luckily, I have a guide for that.
