Hey human, you know that grass I eat?

Yeah, now you get it.

Massive immigration is not why our healthcare systems are at breaking. In fact, they are critical in staffing an understaffed system.

Leading with it, and blaming it, is right into the narrative that is electing these right wing governments.

Barely more light than nightswitch.

Rudy will lead the resistance (R-USA) after he doesn’t get a cabinet pick-n-pardon soon.

In political science, a proxy war is an armed conflict where at least one of the belligerents is directed or supported by an external third-party power. In the term proxy war, a belligerent with external support is the proxy; both belligerents in a proxy war can be considered proxies if both are receiving foreign military aid from a third party country. Acting either as a nation-state government or as a conventional force, a proxy belligerent acts in behalf of a third-party state sponsor.[1]

I imagine it’s the latter part of the above from Wikipedia and long-term use in Cold War language with that part stressed.

The “in behalf” is what I believe is missing in the current example unless then Russia is also a proxy of China and North Korea.

I don’t consider it a proxy war.

Ukraine isn’t a US proxy nor is Russia anyone’s proxy.

“Captain, we are being hailed by T’ger.”

“On screen.”

“Elon and Don at McDonalds. Arms wide.”

“Arm photon torpedoes.”

“Can you make it go?”

Looks like a don’t-buy-me sign to me.

I’m going to make a prediction.

An elected representative will blame post-tariff avocado prices on Mexico and advocate violence.

Edit: I forgot the important part. People will believe it en masse. To your excellent point.

And I vow to pull any chump change in my pension from US funds. And buy a foreign EV. And treat Made in the USA as the badge of a shameful trade partner party.

Just my little start, I hope I’m not alone. Even if our government sucks Trump off to try and play Robin to Blyatman.

If only Americans would decry it.

Oh yeah no that starts the feedback loop.

Everyone’s done ‘the swallow’ a time or two.

So long and thanks for all the fish habitat?

I don’t believe the “I” is an accurate term.

The “I did this” sticker is getting pretty wide what with Putin, Netanyahu, Trump, Xi, and the American voter all on it.

It’s a fail. There’s no battle. You failed at your core job and are plotting your acquiescence.

You failed the people.

This from an industry absolutely whored to the advertising dollar. An ad in your products is a sign of shame for both of you.
