I wonder if this fascist is anywhere near as horrified as the sea of humanity that has had to endure the horrors of an unprovoked war invasion.

I also wonder if this man has any credibility left.

No one wants to be a slave. Salaries should be raised - substantially.

Ooopsies.

I guess no-can-do.

Sucks being evil and subsequently being made to take a taste of own medicine.

Always had a freer hand - for genocide.

When the European “country” is question is Hungary, whose reputation has sunk to the unimaginable depths of being the Russian satellite that it is, referring to one of its leaders as “European leader” is very confusing in my view.

But the top aide’s comment is hardly surprising.

It’s true that things were rough before Argentina’s Trump was voted in, but it’s now substantially worse - and in such a short amount of time too:

BUENOS AIRES, Sept 26 (Reuters) - Argentina’s poverty rate rocketed to 52.9% in the first half of 2024, the government’s INDEC statistics agency said on Thursday, surging from 40.1% a year earlier.

For the second half of last year, INDEC had reported a rate of 41.7%.

Washington says Israel has legitimate security problem

But yes: it’s Bibi.

While skin hue may be a visual clue, I’m wondering if the underlying problem is global warming and global conflict driven by colonialism/capitalism.

Space Karen.

I appreciate every bit of good news, no matter how little, how late. Hoping the genocide can somehow end…

Respectfully begging to differ, I think he did demonstrate solid self-control by not posting such a picture.

Further, I think he was just expressing his disgust for obscene wealth.

That’s an excellent point. For this oligarch and all others.

Please don’t leave. We all need you here. (But I understand if you do…)

Thank you for your comment. I couldn’t agree with you more.

Came here to say something to this effect - but you beat me to it and you stated it more elegantly than I could have. Thank you.

This oligarch is fascinating:

Bella Nilsson is one of 11 people charged with “aggravated environmental crime”.

She was chief executive of waste management company NMT Think Pink, which is accused of dumping or burying 200,000 tonnes of waste in 21 locations between 2015 and 2020.

Lawyers for Ms Nilsson who is now called Fariba Vancor, and another former chief executive Leif-Ivan Karlsson say they deny any wrongdoing.

She changed her name, fully. But both names are quoted in news articles, it would appear. I’m not certain if this was an attempt for her to re-brand herself.

And to get a perspective of how great the damage was, this small snippet is noteworthy:

In one incident, a Think Pink waste pile close to a nature reserve burned for two months after spontaneously combusting.

Trashy oligarchs - I hope karma serves them well.

The intro:

Researchers at Google’s AI arm DeepMind, continue to raise alarm bells over the potential military applications of their work, particularly in relation to contracts with the Israeli government.

According to sources, at least 200 employees at Google DeepMind have expressed deep reservations about their parent company’s reported defense contracts, in particular its $1.2billion agreement to supply Israel with cloud computing services called Project Nimbus.

The controversy came to light when an internal letter, dated May 16, began circulating within the organization. The memo, signed by a significant number of staff members, highlighted growing unease about the company’s alleged involvement with military organizations.

The letter points to reports that the Israeli military uses AI for mass surveillance and to select bombing targets in Gaza, with Israeli weapon firms mandated by the government to purchase cloud services from Google and Amazon.

Further down:

The situation is particularly sensitive given the history between DeepMind and its parent company. When the AI lab was acquired by Google in 2014, assurances were made that its technology would never be used for military or surveillance purposes.

We owe a debt of gratitude to the brave souls that stand up for what is right.

Let’s contrast this “cybersecurity” problem by the terrorists who brought us the Pegasus spyware system that harmed the world over.

I’m reminded of unarmed people defending their homeland from invading tanks with nothing but stones or bricks picked off the remains of destroyed homes.

Humiliated Putin picking easy civilian targets.

I think “Humiliated” makes for a very apt honorific in the case of the fascist authoritarian.

Humiliated Putin is who he is indeed.
