After bashing allies, #Trump now wants their help — except from #Ukraine


After months of disparaging his #European #allies, U.S. President Donald Trump suddenly seeks their assistance.

But none rush to send warships to reopen the Strait of #Hormuz amid Trump's ongoing war with Iran

Experts see an emerging pattern:

  • Take unilateral actions without including allies
  • Then bully them into supporting that action

Adding to the #irony, Trump has dismissed the one partner who offered assistance with shoring up drone defenses against Iranian attacks — Ukraine.

This azelastine hydrochloride nose spray tastes horrible in the back of my throat. :(
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

It's probably the name that makes it taste so horrible! :D
Oh well! Chase it with something sweet. Maybe a spoonful of maple syrup?
in reply to Trocatintas

Everything tastes horrible for at least an hour after using it. :(


With what's going on in the US, I want to keep as much space between me and airports/border crossings as possible. :/

And since Putin is helping Iran, he is literally helping Iran kill more Americans.
in reply to Neil E. Hodges

Yes. Russia is supplying Iran. Russia is killing Americans and Trump stands with Russia. Trump and Russia are killing Americans.




Tech companies are blaming massive layoffs on AI. What’s really going on?
In the past few months, a wave of tech corporations have announced significant staff cuts and attributed them to efficiency gains driven by artificial intelligence (AI).

Companies such as Atlassian, Block and Amazon have announced they would lay off thousands of employees due to increased reliance on AI.

The narrative these companies offer is consistent: AI is making human labour replaceable, and responsible management demands adjustment.

The evidence, however, tells a more nuanced story.



in reply to Neil E. Hodges

I’ve seen a bunch of articles that confirm these massive layoffs have nothing to do with AI. It has more to do with bad planning.

Now they’ll throw billions into AI and when that doesn’t work, they’ll blame it on something else.







Federal court blocks Kennedy’s vaccine changes, invalidates vaccine advisory panel
U.S. District Judge Brian E. Murphy, a Biden appointee, granted a motion by the American Academy of Pediatrics for a preliminary injunction against the reduced childhood immunization schedule earlier this year, along with the remaking of the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, invalidating all votes made by the committee since.







Seems like something of a solution for some folks. There is probably a lot of 'excess' warehouse space around the country that this would be a better use for than ICE concentration camps.

Instead of leaving people in the cold, Minneapolis opens warehouse of indoor tiny homes for homeless

The war in Iran should be considered an advertisement for renewable energy, since it shows what can easily happen with fossil fuels. :3

Donald Trump menaces the world. He’s global public enemy number one. He’s steadily losing the illegal war with Iran he started but cannot stop. His violence-addicted Israeli sidekick, Benjamin Netanyahu, is terrorising Lebanon. And ordinary people everywhere, their security threatened, face a huge economic bill for his reckless folly.
