More than just one, but yeah, the “overall flow” is set in law by acts of Congress, and only an act of Congress can stop that flow, not the executive branch.

There have been U S. officials that confirmed this has happened though.

I’m not even arguing that it’s effective, just that it happened.

But Biden has slowed weapon shipments to Israel, it’s the only thing he can (legally, not politically) do since the aid is mandated by law and his executive power doesn’t extend to negating laws.

I would not have posted this. The long dick of the law makes an echidna’s look normal.

Maybe if he forgets half the shit he’s said that directly contradicts the other half, and doesn’t try to nuke a hurricane over Mexico.

Larger population means larger representation. If you say the Netherlands only has about 100,000 idiots, that’s roughly half a percent of their population.

Half of a percent of the US population is over 1.5 million. And I promise you, we have a waaaaaaay higher percentage of idiots than that.

They’d name it Microsoft Windows Deprecation Maker 2024 Enterprise 11 though.

This is Lemmy.

If you want to do all that performative reddit bullshit for attention, go back there and do it. No one will stop you.

This is some text book projection. Maybe talk to a professional about it. And yeah, you probably should stay away from cartoons and kids until you get these repressed urges figured out.

Yestsin won with 58 and 54 percent of the vote in his two elections, hardly a ‘landslide’:

Putin’s lowest was 53, in his first election. The latest was 88%, with most of the others being in the 70% range.

Historically though, Russians, have a way of guaranteeing results like that. Yeltsin is kind of a low percentage outlier by comparison:

Ukraine feeds a lot of the world, and it’s in everyone’s best interest that it keeps doing that.

I’m pretty sure Yeltsin is the reason Russia has Putin.

Yeltsin oversaw the dissolution of the ussr and brought capitalism to Russia, of course the west wanted him to be president of Russia. All he did was ask Bill for favors on the world stage (and got most of what he asked for).

I don’t know if that’s a typo, but “cheey” is a delightfully terrible name that I am stealing.

Senegalese refugees comprise the bulk of the migrants, and all sorts of things like drought and commodity prices (due to the invasion Ukraine among other things) are driving their economy into the ground. In the end, climate change is definitely a non negligible component of the problem which is only going to get worse.

haha no source, just a dumb joke.
