Isn't Pete Butt-something the Secretary of Transportation?
What is HE doing about this?
The U.S. hasn't given the "green light" to anything.
The Deep State controlling Biden / Harris has given the "green light" to attack Russia. Of course, we bear the consequences.
As the saying goes: "You can ignore reality, but you can't ignore the consequences of ignoring reality".
NOT if those Social Media companies aren't located in Australia.
If a Social Media company is (for example "X", located in Austin, Tx) not based in Australia... then Australia has zero standing to fine them 5% of global revenue.
Every Social Media company based in Australia should simply relocate corporate headquarters elsewhere. Come to Texas.
A thought about what may be the "precipice event".
Kaliningrad is a Russian exclave located on the Baltic Sea, between Lithuania and Poland. The Kaliningrad city and Oblast is an isolated territory, roughly 412 miles west of the Russian border. It's the only ice-free Russian port on the Baltic Sea. Population is 500,000. It's also the home port of Russia's North Sea Navy.
Kaliningrad Oblast was part of the USSR, but when the Soviet Republic collapsed in 1991, it became separated from Russia by now independent nations, notably Poland and Lithuania, which are part of NATO.
Kaliningrad belonged to Germany, and was German territory up until 1945. After WWII, the Soviet Union occupied Kaliningrad and expelled the German population. Kaliningrad should rightfully belong to Germany (or Poland, who controlled it before Germany), and so should be rightful property of the European Union and be NATO Territory.
Russia has taken over Crimea, which was Ukrainian territory until recently, as well as seized other Eastern Ukrainian territories.
I bet the "precipice event" will involve the European Union and NATO declaring legal ownership of "occupied Kaliningrad", which should be rightfully called "Koenigsberg". Note in the agreement (below) that Kaliningrad was declared the property of the SOVIET UNION. It was NEVER given to Russia, and was never officially declared to be Russian property. Many former Soviet properties became independent nations since 1990... so there is precedence for Kaliningrad to become either independent or to return to German ownership.
Under the Potsdam Agreement of 1 August 1945, the city became part of the Soviet Union pending the final determination of territorial borders. This final determination eventually took place on 12 September 1990 when the Treaty on the Final Settlement with Respect to Germany was signed.
"VI. CITY OF KOENIGSBERG AND THE ADJACENT AREA The Conference examined a proposal by the Soviet Government that pending the final determination of territorial questions at the peace settlement, the section of the western frontier of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics which is adjacent to the Baltic Sea should pass from a point on the eastern shore of the Bay of Danzig to the east, north of Braunsberg – Goldep, to the meeting point of the frontiers of Lithuania, the Polish Republic and East Prussia.
The Conference has agreed in principle to the proposal of the Soviet Government concerning the ultimate transfer to the Soviet Union of the city of Koenigsberg and the area adjacent to it as described above, subject to expert examination of the actual frontier."
The President of the United States and the British Prime Minister supported the proposal of the Conference at the forthcoming peace settlement.
Now, onto the "Precipice Event". I bet the EU and NATO will declare legal ownership of Kaliningrad, just as Russia is claiming legal ownership of Crimea and Eastern Ukraine. We will see sudden NATO and EU moves to blockade Kaliningrad, both Naval blockade and land based through Lithuania and Poland. No goods in or out, no flights in or out. We may also see NATO troops trying to move in to secure the territory.
The whole thing would be to set up a bargain with Russia to end the Ukrainian War; Kaliningrad is Russian territory only if Crimea and the Eastern Oblasts of Ukraine are returned to Ukraine.
Of course, this would bring the entire situation to the brink of WWIII and possible nuclear exchange.... the precipice.
One thing to watch is that Lithuania has recently developed plans See Article since July for evacuation or relocation of up to 1/4th of it's 2.5 Million population, mainly women, children, elderly and disabled... in case of war. Why only Lithuania? There is no other NATO country making such plans.
The precipice standoff and subsequent threats exchanged, military mobilization, national security implementation (including possible Martial Law or National Curfews, military on the streets) might be used as the excuse to delay or cancel the U.S. Presidential election in November.
That would be an aggressive move by NATO and the EU, but it would be the only way to save face vs. suffering a complete beating by Russian forces in Ukraine. :>)
You know what would shake up the entire "scientific community"?
Call a COMPLETE HALT to ALL spending on studying "Climate Change", and re-allocate that funding to studying the cause of the increase in Atrial Fibrillation until we've fully understood the root cause. :>)
My bet is that "scientists" would become un-baffled really fast... so they could get back their "Climate Change" funding.
Michelle "Big Mike" Obama now wants to join the Ukraine military.
Don Lemon is hoping HE can join by self-identifying as a woman.
DJT did exactly what he needed to do last night.
If he would have been aggressive, then Kamala becomes the victim. Trump would have looked like he bullied her.
Trump needed to let the nation see Kamala talking about fluffy platitudes, lofty ideas with no way to achieve them... and as a basic do-nothing on any issues... while not attacking her directly.
He stayed cool, while she appeared snide and petty.
What do Dick Cheney and Taylor Swift have in common?
Who cares?
If I wanted to hear what Taylor Swift thinks, I'd read some propaganda newspaper.
Trump made Harris admit to all liberals that SHE SUPPORTS ISRAEL FULLY.
That'll cost her.
Kamala was whiny. She came across as a whiner, not a leader.
I felt that Kamala came across as whiny and small minded.
Zip it, camel toe!
Trump. No question.
Sweet and Sour Cat.
Kamala is coming across as a whiny small person.
They WILL have one soon.
"... a foreign adversary could become involved in order to prevent Trump from becoming President."
Doesn't France have enough problems without trying to prevent Trump from becoming President?
... or did they mean some OTHER foreign adversary? Maybe Canada?
Probably they had a hard time finding call center people in India who speak Spanish.
ALWAYS check the box "Other".
Let them figure it out.
British Police: "Boy, were WE politically biased morons back then. We're much better now."
Conan the Barbarian (1982) - James Earl Jones as Thulsa Doom
Thulsa Doom : "I wish to speak to you now. Where is the Eye of the Serpent? Rexor says that you gave to a girl, probably for a mere night's pleasure, hmm? What a loss. People have no grasp of what they do. You broke into my house, stole my property, murdered my servants, and my PETS! And that is what grieves me the most! You killed my snake. Thorgrim is beside himself with grief! He raised that snake from the time it was born."
Then James Earl Jones turned into a large snake.
Lesson to be learned: Never turn into a snake. It rarely helps.
Germany had better stop the "climate change / carbon credits" idiocy... and start paying more attention to their own failing industrial base and economy.
That was before Whites could self-identify as Black. These days, everyone could replicate what Kamala Harris is doing and just claim to be Black.
