  1. I agree it does not equate. I am using the definition of Zionism to mean supporting the existence of the state of Israel (not necessarily their policies, many of which have obviously been horrible). So in that sense the vast majority of Israeli citizens who are Jews are definitely pro Zionist. Lower support with Arab Israelis of course and yes among diaspora Jews there is majority pro Zionist support but not at Israeli levels. Cheers.
  2. Obnoxious willful ignorance if you don't know about the problems Russians have been having with traveling and getting new residences! Why are you even posting on this topic if you know NOTHING about it?
  3. No need to give up U.S. citizenship to have a perm residency or second passport (if the other country allows dual). Even right wing Americans who have migrated to Russia to be Putin propaganda puppets usually hold on to their U.S. passports even though Russia doesn't recognize dual.
  4. I like Cream of Wheat too but based on the price here, I have never bought it. Impossible to "stretch" it like Grape Nuts. I may as explain what I mean. To stretch Grape Nuts for a cereal breakfast I use a mix of other cheaper not crunchy grains including Thai sourced no sugar corn flakes, Australian no sugar multigrain Muesli surprisingly cheap, Orgran rice puffs also Aussie I think, and then just two tablespoons of Grape Nuts. The Grape Nuts crunch and taste dominates.
  5. Not about that. You didn't watch the video and pretty have no understanding of the challenges Russian expats face abroad these days specifically because of Putin.
  6. I'm sure most of us are buying some U.S. products without realizing it though. But yes they are expensive. The only obvious U.S. products that I regularly buy are Tabasco Chipotle hot sauce and Grape Nuts cereal. I've figured out a clever way to stretch the absurdly priced Grape Nuts but there is no way I would be eating only that for breakfast.
  7. The teacher was right but if he broke the rules of his school, actions have consequences. I hope he can find other employment.
  8. You know, like Russians abroad are suffering now, whether they have any culpability for the behavior of their nation's dictator or not. He suggests taking action to minimize the potential damage of that. In the Russian example, Russians who got a second passport BEFORE 2022 are sitting pretty. Most other Russians who have or want to flee Russia after that are struggling. Unfortunately for Americans in Thailand, the vast majority aren't going to be eligible for permanent residence of citizenship in Thailand. So as far as acting on the advice, for most that would mean another country with more realistic paths towards a second passport.
  9. I think it's obvious that Thailand is on the list because of the trade imbalance alone. Trump falsely believes that means that any country in that category is "stealing" from the U.S. Why hasn't he done it yet? Not sure. Maybe because he doesn't consider Thailand a big name country and he's pretty dumb when it comes to geography (like his voters). But with the impact from what he's doing to China which means China will dump stuff to Thailand, it seems to me more or less inevitable.
  10. It wasn't a mistake. It was OBVIOUSLY intentionally spread strategically time MISINFORMATION spread by the master of the most influential MISINFORMATION vehicle on earth -- Musk owned Twitter. (Who cares what that weirdo calls it now).
  11. For one example of the misinformation that you posted which I replied to was your objectively false assertion that the majority of Israelis are of "European" descent. That incorrect attack trope is often used by Israel demonizers and/or antisemites to deny the legitimacy of the state of Israel to even exist on land in the Middle East. I will post a link proving my point. Of course I am not the "ultimate" authority about anything and I never claimed to be that. Nobody is. So that attack by you is totally moronic weak tea. How would I know the heritage of you specifically? I don't know you from Adam. I have no idea of your ethnicity. If you posted about it, I didn't commit it to memory. So you say you know the difference between Judaism and Zionism. Good on you. Do you also understand that Jews are an ethnoreligious group so exist as a people and not only a religion, and there is no need to be a practicing Jew to be a Jew?

  12. The Kremlin is partying.
  13. No he should win the Neville Chamberlain prize
  14. This "deal" is set to not give Ukraine real security guarantees and set Putin up to make sure Ukraine can't have a functioning government and he will chip away at them that way with his usual election control games. And yes of course the Baltics, Moldova, and Poland are next. China too will be very emboldened by this. Musk -- Trump -- who's side are they really on? It's pretty obvious if you're paying attention.
  15. Now that's it's clear that Musk - Trump are going to rape Ukraine, I think it's time for Ukraine to throw the Hail Mary pass that I will not mention (but many will understand). That would be a game changer.
  16. The illegal unconstitutional DOGE team, but what you worry?
  17. To show the rapidly deteriorating Trump who's boss.
  18. Even better was when the little guy told Trump -- "you're not the president" and "I want you to shut your mouth." From the mouths of babes copying what Daddy says.
  19. Most of the harm is towards Americans and our global brand which he has permanently damaged and probably won't ever recover. But now he is pushing Ukraine to surrender of course that's even worse.
  20. When pigs fly.
  21. It's just a distraction from the substantively evil stuff Musk-Trump are doing.
  22. See what I mean by now? This is a maga cult troll baiting topic -- 100- percent. Let the magas strew in it. Actually serious posters, don't bother here.
  23. Stop it! Do not put words in my mouth. So incredibly OBNOXIOUS.
