Ah, here is step one. The "Mutter der Nation" medal for women having 5+ children.

Next stop: Lebensborn projects where women are forced to get impregnated by real american patriots (tm)

Have seen euromaidanpress articles before, I think they're legit if not a bit sensationalist and obviously very pro-Ukraine.

And of course Russia blames a smoooooking incident. There's this one Russian guy who just smokes everywhere he shouldn't. Munition storages, aviation bases, flagship Moskva...

Worse, they want not just Ukraine but Europe to actively lose. The destruction of the EU is the goal.

Fun fact, we didn't use to need that. Which is why millennials typically don't use /s outside Reddit. 90's and early 2000s forum culture required everyone to use common sense, a concept now entirely ethereal to zoomers. Back in my day...

I guess if the people of Greenland accept a measly 10k soon to be worthless USD in exchange to join a dying empire, they deserve to be part of that empire. Maybe Trump is actually smart and this is a hidden IQ test.

There is a shipping route opening up that would enable Asian-Europen-American trade via a about 2/3 shorter route than currently possible. It would make any route through the Suez canals or around Africa pointless. This might not sound important right now, but it would fundamentally change the fortunes of countries and reshape the world.

And...then?

  1. Greenland still belongs to Denmark even if you give 99999999 gazillion to each Greenlander

  2. I don't think anyone in Greenland is dumb enough to sell out their country for 10k to then live in a country where you will pay out of your ass in taxes, handing those 10k right back to the IRS in 5 years tops.

  3. Greenlanders would have to call themselves "Americans" henceforth, which is considered an insult and lower class of civilization world-wide.

A better example for a straw man argument would be OPs picture, as it essentially proclaims "all lonely males are just shit people and it's their fault!".

Thanks for typing out the percentages, so far I've only seen emotional news reports about it without any detailed info.

Are these tariffs on ALL goods from a certain country? Eg, does 34% on China mean 34% on ALL Chinese goods or just certain ones like cars?

Well, one of two things will happen now.

  • The US economy will recede by roughly 30% over the coming years (classified by economists as "catastrophic collapse")

  • It will turn out that trade was "fake and gay" all along and autarky is the way to go, despite centuries of historic lessons to the contrary.

Take your pick.

If you use anything but TOR together with spoofed VPNs for "activism" against a government that would jail/kill you, you are being reckless.

If you use X for your activism, you're not an activist you're a fed honeypot.

If it is determined without a doubt that he's an Agent, the government he spied for will be contacted to see if there are any deals to be made. If not, he will simply be prosecuted and jailed for later use. The fact that he is prosecuted and why will be made public, but the actual prosecution not for national security reasons.

Alright this is knee-jerk speculation, but the only reason I can think of for the FBI collecting evidence like this (the moving boxes) and the university not saying anything, is because it was determined Prof. Wang is a Chinese agent. It's very unlikely ICE would come after professors, could do it silently, and someone in an area of expertise that is highly sought-after would be deported at all. And they wouldn't include the FBI either.
