Talk means nothing, look at what he does. All his actual actions benefit the Kremlin and serve to further it’s goals. Words do not inflict sanctions, and repeatedly saying shit while doing other shit just makes it seem like the Kremlin is looking for plausible deniability for their puppet. Wake me up when anything at all has been done that materially damages Russia or Russian interests, because that right there will be a fucking news story.

Christel Schaldemose, a Danish politician who is a center-left member of the European Parliament, said the way the U.S. has been talking about the E.U. in general lately is “not helping.”

“Could we start talking to each other as allies and not enemies?” she said.

I never understand it when this argument is made. It assumes that there aren’t entities out there making $0 on the common cold that would refuse to take the absolute fucking windfall that would be generated if such an immunization were to be brought to the market.

Like “oh, you know, we’d like to make this immunization and make billions of dollars ourselves but these OTHER guys are already making billions of dollars and we sure wouldn’t want to step on their toes.”

Exactly none of mine, I have never subscribed to any media service. I highly recommend it!
