  • If Putin had any desire to conquer Switzerland, all I’ll say is good luck. They’re:

    • Heavily fortified, with hundreds of bunkers dotting the countryside
    • Highly mountainous, which would heavily slow down a ground invasion.
    • One of the few states to still practice mandatory military service.
    • Pretty lax with gun ownership, to the point where citizens have a statutory duty to bear arms in the event of an invasion.
    • A substantial player in the banking sector with many oligarchs using their service. Any freeze they’d put on Russian assets would likely go above and beyond what NATO and the EU managed, just because of how synonymous their banks are with the wealthy. They would probably send the Russian economy into freefall long before they could even get anywhere near Zurich.
    • Surrounded from all sides by NATO and EU member states, and would likely have plenty of time to prepare their own forces in the unlikely event that Russia mounts a full-scale invasion and takes over the rest of Europe.

















  • US President Donald Trump is facing widespread criticism and accusations of proposing ethnic cleansing after stating that he would like to “just clean out” Gaza and relocate its Palestinian population to neighbouring countries.

    Speaking aboard Air Force One during a flight from Las Vegas to Miami on Saturday, Trump described Gaza as a “demolition site” and suggested moving its residents to Jordan and Egypt.

    “I’d like Egypt to take people. I’d like Jordan to take people,” Trump said. “You’re talking about probably a million and a half people, and we just clean out that whole thing.”

    He added that the move could be either temporary or long-term, saying, “something has to happen”

    To everybody who voted against Kamala Harris because she didn’t change her stance on Gaza, how does it feel to be played harder than a tenor saxophone?


  • Still, it’s a crappy justice system if literally running an international drug cartel thats administering adrenaline to torture victims (so they don’t fall unconscious), skinning them alive and hacking off their limbs with a chainsaw until they die gets you a lighter prison sentence than being a Libertarian web developer who ran the “Amazon of illegal narcotics” and went down what I can best describe as a dollar tree Walter White style descent into criminality.

    And that’s just one of the cartel’s many torture and murder methods. They are mercilessly brutal and an incredibly good reason to stay away from huge parts of Mexico.

    I’m not saying Ross didn’t do anything wrong (he certainly did) but there are worse convicts in the criminal justice system who are getting the chance of parole that Ross was denied.
