My team and I stand ready to work under President Trump’s strong leadership to get a peace that lasts.

Not a proxy by the way.

Those phantasmagorical cartoons and AI slop about Chad Zelensky did not age well

So how are the EU libs spinning this shining example of Ukraine's sovereignty?

"Fugayzi, fugazi. It's a whazy. It's a woozie. It's fairy dust. It doesn't exist. It's never landed. It is no matter. It's not on the elemental chart. It's not fucking real.”

shitlib redditors being dumbfounded part 4630135:

Former gov lawyer here:

1. it is illegal. Like not even close. My whole job is making nuanced "It depends" statements, but this isn't that. The last three weeks is mind melting.

2. it doesn't matter. Like at all. By the time a judge gets a case number, they've moved on to the next atrocity. They might not even be in office by the time any substantive briefs hit their desk. Scotus is complicit and will give them 80% and tut at the other 20 in the name of fairness.

The system relies on good faith, but that time has passed. We're fornly into the Real Politik "the strong do what they will" territory.

The worst part is that voters asked for this and they're happy with the dysfunction.

We got the government we deserve.

you stupid idiot, it was always realpolitik! only D-flavoured liberals are terrible at it except when they are supporting genocide, sending weapons to azov-nazis, bailing out wall street, or clamping down progressive movements

USAID programs support independent media in more than 30 countries,

Independent?

Imagine a lib calling Russian state funded reporters independent lolmao

Zero self-awareness

Not exactly... it was an internal speech meant to convince the party members that There Is No Alternative

This was a nominally socialist party that had been fiscally neoliberal since the end of the AES. The phrase that inflamed the riots was: "We fucked up. We were lying day and night." By "lying," he meant that they had campaigned on a weakass, hollowed-out social democratic manifesto, but they were always neoliberal anyway. Anyone who watched the news knew they were liars. It’s part and parcel of liberal democracy that candidates make bullshit promises.

Most of the speech was the usual WE MUST BALANCE THE BUDGET neoliberal nonsense. It’s amazing that neoliberals actually believe fiscal conservatism is like a Law of Nature—maybe not even a Law of Nature. They believed in the Washington Consensus as if it were gospel. Amazing.

After the recording got leaked there were riots. The PM stepped down, and his billionaire right hand became the interim PM and he did the "fiscal readjustment" with the help of the IMF.

After that Orban's right wing party won in a landslide.

VOX asked Hungarian NED-beneficiaries journalists what can they teach Americans about authoritarian regimes:

Apparently Orban is just a power hungry evil dude who loves money and power and took his chance. It's not like a historical process or something, shifts in societies just happen, because of a few bad actors.
Hungary was a "vibrant democracy" then the bad dudes came into power with a giant mandate. They used the unfortunate circumstances of the 2008 global economic crisis (what was that about anyway?)

ctrl+F "neoliberal" = Phrase not found.

The Hungarian economy was in shambles after the 2008 financial crisis — so bad, in fact, that it required an emergency $25 billion from the International Monetary Fund and others to avoid fiscal ruin — and the current prime minister was embroiled in scandal.

Wow so the evil right wingers came into power even after the glorious IMF saved the Hungarian economy? Huh? Why is that? Strange!

There was also the totally unbiased and completely trustworthy South Korean intelligence agency claiming they totally have proof but she goes to a different school they can't show it to you sadly

Yeah, it's not like Denmark has an inherent right to Greenland. The only good scenario would be if the natives got it back, but that's not on the table anyway.

If this actually goes through, it will be blindingly obvious that EU is a satrapy, nothing more.

They are disputing election results according to their own/parties given polls.

quite plausible tbh

It's actually really uncivil to learn details about treasonous activities of your political rivals

taking down corrupt officials

But at what cost?!

The liberal candidate has written an incredibly obsequious letter to none other than Donald Trump

It is concentrated cringe ("CC Elon Musk"):

Imagine an EU leader writing a similar letter to Xi or Putin, it would be the scandal of the month

Has anyone here written on the recent Romanian elections "scandal"?

My suspicions is that it's a less severe version of the Georgian case: someone who doesn't automatically bow to NATO & EU won an election, and liberals cry about Russian coup (without ample evidence)

Or maybe there is actual evidence, unlike in Georgia?

Even if there is evidence, the rundown is usually: Russians giving money to a right wing candidate is BAD, end of democracy, while NED giving money to a different right wing candidate is just the power of Freeeedom
It's highly unlikely that TikTok alone would be enough to win an election, anyway

Um, Israel didn't "invade" Syria, their tanks just crossed the border into another country to secure a buffer zone

Hey! I think I know where he is! Where can I collect my 10 mil?
