If you ask a russian there is a good chance they will tell you Russia is “defending” one thing or another in Ukraine.
Or that russia is in fact defending itself from an attack from “the west” atm.
It’s all bullshit, but propaganda will do its thing.
Nothing (russian) stopping NK from trying to “defend” some shit in SK as well.
Off course they will then find out that Putins word is not worth the dickhole it came out of, but that’s another story.
Russia and entering treaties that neither party intends to honor…
That is waaaaaay too cohesive of a text.
Trump would never stay on one point for that long.
He used to purposefully change topics frequently to keep on bullshitting when he was less demented and now he just isn’t able to focus for long enough to talk about one topic for that long.
I am pretty sure his movie career failed so hard he even had to act in a video game.
A high-profile British judge who resigned from Hong Kong’s highest court last week has warned the city is “slowly becoming a totalitarian state”
Slowly becoming my ass…
HK is already totalitarian af.
Why do you think you can dictate to anyone what to wear?
I am not in love with this artstyle but if the gameplay is as crisp as one should expect from Evil Empire I will probably give this a chance.
Elden Ring runs just fine on my Deck, but it drains my battery pretty fast.
But I have a refurbished non OLED deck so ymmv.
I mean wouldn’t you also much rather be bribed than blackmailed?
I’d argue there is only micro in chess and no macro, but I get your point.
A now adult woman that was only 17 years old when the incident in question happened.
Which is clearly stated in the article that you willfully missquoted.
I know it’s trendy to shit on Germany rn (and Isreal obviously and for good reason), but 90 year old holocaust survivors surely aren’t the ones commiting genocide.
And they very well might have had to relive a trauma that Germany rightfully feels a responsibility for.
So what is the problem with giving those old folks that really had to endure some of the worst things anyone ever had to endure a symbolic sum to show them that they are not forgotten?
This is in no way defending Germanys support of Israel, while it is committing cruel war crimes.
But let’s be real here, is this gesture really that outrageous to you?

I don’t think that applies here.
The democrats oppose this spy tool because it is badly regulated and prone to abuse.
The Trump loyalists oppose this spy tool because it may expose some of Trumps crimes and treason.
Well the stock rising does generate money for Trump no matter if anyone shortsells it.
If you shortsell, you position yourself against the stock.
If it rises Trump wins and you lose.
If it falls Trump loses and you win.
But neither way is it you shorting the stock that makes Trump win.
He wins if the company represented by the stock actually grows in value and the stock price rises or if idiots buy his stocks and make the price go up.
But I predict that after a brief rush on the stock by his gullible idiots in the beginning noone will want to buy his stock anymore.
That’s why I would consider shorting it, because I predict the stock to keep falling.
This I predict because I think the company that is represented by the stock is shit and basically worthless, which the stockprice should represent in due time.
A shortseller thus wants to profit off of Trumps losses.
Also, I don’t quite remember what happens if shorting fails, but it benefits the stock, doesn’t it?
First things first, I don’t really know how to actually shortsell stuff. My portfolio is super basic and my original comment was only half serious.
But I think you have the causality the wrong way around.
It’s less that the stock profits if my short fails.
It’s more that my short fails (in that I lose money) if the price of the stock goes up.
A single small shortsale can’t really affect the stock price in a meaningful way, but if it could it would generally lower the stocks price since it is a signal that the market (which the shortseller is a part of) has no trust in the stock.
That said I am by no means a trading expert myself and could possibly miss some effects on the market.
I only invest long term in broadly spread ETFs (think MSCI World and similar).
Maybe I am misunderstanding you, but I also would never think of actually investing in anything Trump.
Shortselling is betting that the stock value falls without actually holding the stock.
That stock is the first time that I actually considered shortselling anything.
I am by no means am expert.
I just went of this:
The halberd is still the ceremonial weapon of the Swiss Guard in the Vatican.
And I am pretty sure that in German they call the weapon of the Swiss Guard Hellebarde.
