Surprisingly, a lot of the white nationalist organs here in the US have VERY intimate contact with white national South African groups. I’m wondering how many of them are coming here to avoid getting caught in government dragnets in SA. Lots of the bombmaking know-how and quite a lot of weapons flowed into South Africa during the fight to keep apartheid from the 60s-90s (and now the fight to either topple the post-apartheid government or create a separatist state where they can institute apartheid), and much of THAT was supplied by contacts in the American KKK. Weird Little Guys did an incredible deep dive on the interlinking of the white nationalist movement internationally with white South African resistance to the ANC and the DeClerc and post-DeClerc governments.

Literally President Trump has said that, I believe in his first term. Something about how there shouldn’t be rules in war, and whatever happens/whoever happens to be in the crossfire, happens.

I was about to say, they tried. They have been trying for three years. They’ve committed a TON more forces than Ukraine, and still haven’t made significant progress. The invasion is a military failure on pretty much every level, and it’s only the most delusional that think Russia still has any chance of actually pulling off a successful annexation or occupation for any significant length of time.

You forgot the Spam.

Yeah, they chose El Salvador because they’ve literally abolished due process. It’s like Cambodia again - someone accuses you and you’re just instantly taken away. You MIGHT get to see a judge after you’re imprisoned for a month or two, likely after you’ve been beaten half to death so you’ll confess to anything just to make the pain stop. It’s a dressed up version of Duterte’s Philippines - we’ll kidnap you and let you die, rather than just some death squad rolling up to your door (because that doesn’t play well to the media and the other can be dressed up as “law and order”).

Precisely this. You route a shipment to an un-tarriffed/un-embargoed country, usually to a shell company or something, and then ship it to wherever using THAT country as the country of origin. It’s a pretty common way of avoiding arms embargoes.

Which is what they were doing with the old Maxims in Ukraine. Slap it down in a defensive position, where you don’t have to move it (or, in a few cases, weld that shit to a pintle mount in the back of a truck), and you can keep firing until the barrel melts or you don’t have anything left to shoot.

Apparently Trump is absolutely fucking terrified of people poisoning his food. It’s why he eats like shit - random fast food is harder to poison.

He also stopped wearing most of his gold after being down in New Orleans helping clean up from Katrina. Said he felt it was wrong to be displaying such wealth when he was staring at people who had just lost literally everything.

Don’t forget ICE going into schools and boarding schoolbuses so they can arrest Hispanic-looking kids. They didn’t just accelerate the genocide, they imported it home.
