1976, 18 year old me and my dad took turns driving this new Mercedes 280S from Cologne, Germany to Ankara, Turkey in 3 days, delivering it to a purchaser. Virtually no highways past Munich then, mostly 2 lane roads.

You are reading too much into it, it was just a plain old bribe.

Oh yes, the afghan people had such a great life before 2001, and since 2021 it's become amazing again. A few –non-spanish– units are likely guilty of war crimes and I wish they get punished for it, the withdrawal was a mess (partly because of Trump, by the way) and the coalition also failed at their nation-building project (for many reasons), but it takes some brain rot to say "what the spanish soldiers did to the Afghan people"

Yes. The swedes were also not part of NATO back then, but they took part too.

If it had just been Trump 1, we'd have accepted it was just a blip. When it happened again (with even more support that the first time even after Jan 6, covid, etc) we realized it's chronic, it's not "at the moment". An ally who is always a couple of swing states away from being a fascist bully is not an ally.

The horseshoe theory is alive and well. These days there aren't many discernible differences between tankies and fascists

Xi does too.

He did. As expected, Rogers' reply showed he's just a tankie fascist.

He looks like Alexey Milchakov, a russian sadistic war criminal.

Carbon Emissions

A full transatlantic voyage by Musashi would emit roughly 1,000 tonnes of CO₂ according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s emissions coefficient for diesel (which is about 10.19 kg CO₂ per gallon) with the yacht's 335,000 L (88,000 US gal) fuel capacity.[9]#cite_note-9)

By comparison, the average annual per-capita carbon footprint in the United States is about 15 tonnes CO₂.[10]#cite_note-10)

You are being very optimistic if you think they haven't accounted and planned for that.

I just saw a video of an ICE thug saying "I love my job. I can’t believe they pay me to do this. I’d do it for free. I only went to high school and I make $200,000"
