Most will not be aware the statement was made at all. There’s little profit in the media reporting it.

They see their territory as their empire, and lashing out at their captives is a way to prove to themselves that they’re still in control. It’s a classic abuser habit.

If the empire doesn’t abandon you or try to assassinate you, are you really living the full puppet experience?

It’s not just the lies, of course, but the obvious timing for week-weekend cycle market manipulation that no one cares about. Be assured next Friday evening to Saturday morning NYSE time, there will be another dismal report or threat of escalation which will be “resolved” by Sunday night or Monday morning. It’s weird it if happens once, but it’s been happening nearly every week since his second term got started. It’s the most profitable point in history to be an insider grifter.

“Central America” is in North America. Racists just pretend it’s not so they don’t have to mentally grapple with brown people natively being on the same continent as themselves.

It’s an interesting choice to posture that it’s a simple military maneuver to open the strait, but the supposedly strongest naval power is unable or unwilling to do so. If it were simple, they’d do it; if the strait wasn’t important at all, they wouldn’t talk about it.

Not sure about the rhetorical strategy with acknowledging that it’s important, but complaining it’s still closed. Better optics would be to just not say anything at all, but he can’t even manage that.

Heavens, the puppets are infighting.

Rising, but still regrettably equal to or lesser than the average from 2011-2014 for regular, despite the inflation that has occurred between then and now. It’s still a ways out before the price becomes a significant obstacle for the politically ambivalent populace. Between the inflation and ramped up fracking, the US is more insulated from fuel prices than their vassals.

The west be like “oh no, Cuba is spreading!”

Didn’t it just get back from retreating

At least they got to meet their daily quota of the word ‘unprecedented’.

Perhaps not everything can be bought for the right oil after all.

…unless he dies earlier because he’s 83. Would be great if there were some Marxist party figures like these that were from a more promising age bracket.

To be honest, I didn’t think there was much remaining consumer demand for HDDs. I know they can scale into the terabytes, but that much data on slower, fragmentable, spinning metal plates seems increasingly unwise in both speed and durability the further you scale.
