It's not population growth, it's resources consumption. Your entitled western ass shouldn't be blathering about poor people having too many babies when you're using 30 times as much resources as they do.
Well...Wikileaks is not exactly an equal opportunity leaker. In retrospect there's no higher morality to it's actions or the "materials" released.
You do realize "equal opportunity leaker" is a contradiction in terms, yes? Wikileaks is dependent on the information that is leaked to them. If you want them to publish something, stop chugging hatorade supplied by the deep state long enough to leak something to them, or hack somebody so you have said something.
In the Clinton case, in order to believe there was substantive criminal activity, one must believe that the whole of the FBI and intelligence community were in cahoots with Clinton.
Which they were, indisputably. If Hillary Clinton were anyone else - say Kristian Saucier - she'd be serving a decade for obstruction of justice (destroying evidence while under subpoena) on top of decades in prison for mishandling classified information.
It's not like other true leaks like Snowden or the Pentagon Papers. Those were acts of conscience which led to at least some change.
Not only did Hillary collude to win her own primary, she was outright running the DNC after she bought them out. That's just as factual as the Snowden leaks or the Pentagon Papers - bootlicker.
As much as I "admire" your transparent attempt at concern trolling.
The fact that he'd use information as a tool like that, while pretending that Wikileaks never sits on anything, and publishes whatever they have and believe to be credible, made me think he was just a tool, to put it bluntly.
Bluntly, you're projecting. If you knew you were on the shit list of every Western intelligence agency for exposing their dirty laundry - and on the snatch-and-grab list of every other intelligence agency to find out what you might know - are there any steps you would not take or bluffs you would not make to protect your ass?
Didn't think so.
Journalists, REAL journalists, protect sources, and publish information for the good of the readers, etc., not timed or calibrated for their own maximum personal benefit.
If Assange was interested in his "personal benefit", there's no shortage of intelligence agencies he could have sold Manning's leaks to, among others. He didn't.
Perhaps I was misinformed on this point, or I'm confusing Assange with some OTHER news guy being accused of rape or whatever
Some other guy who's had an Interpol warrant issued for a requested STD test? Some other guy who's offered to return to Sweden for questioning if they aren't using the allegations as a pretext to hand him over to the United States, only to have those offers ignored?
Do you lick the boots of the deep state black, or do you take them with a bit of sugar?
We are required to pay Europe $150 billion every year for the privilege of trading with them.
Pennies in the penny jar of a $21+ trillion economy, of a nation with $100+ in net wealth. At this point in time you could take your $150 out of the assets of a single aristocrat, and Bezos would still be worth $9 billion after the fact. But by all means, explain why the wealthiest nation in the history of the world can't afford nice things. While it throws away over a trillion a year to the military, and conjures $16 trillion out of thin air to bail out banks that crashed the economy in the first place.
We've been there for so long and taken care of everything for you for so long, that you grew to just count on it and you weren't very appreciative.
Against what. I know you know pretending that Russia is a threat is a farce, as I've seen you write about just how hard Russia was fucked over by neoliberal shock capitalism in the 90's. The US should not just pull out of NATO, but disband every branch and intelligence agency save the Guard family: Army, Air and Coast. They would be more than enough for actual defense needs.
If Mueller had actual evidence of actual collusion, we would have seen it a year ago
This statement is based on absolutely nothing
Remedial logic + learning something from the lies told about Iraq (including those from Mueller) != "nothing". Either this investigation is a farce to control both Trump and the public sheep, or Mueller really does have solid evidence that Trump colluded with Putin to steal an election. Evidence Mueller is sitting on instead of sending articles of impeachment to the House, protecting the Manchurian candidate while pretending to oppose him. Which means Mueller is as much a puppet for Putin as Trump is.
Again, pick one.
I'm not American, I'm Finnish.
Don't tell me this is left over umbrage from the Winter War. Bears a similarity to Cenk Uygur, who seems to have an inbred Turkish hostility towards Russia that sends him into cold war mode the second the R-word is mentioned.
but that does not negate the fact that the Russians are actively posing as western citizens and pumping out propaganda to influence elections and sow political discontent throughout the West and not just in the US.
You ever see the movie Austin Powers? Because your grand spy ideas are even more corny than this scene. Dr. Evil Putin, or DEP for short, tells his minions about his new evil schemes, only for his henchmen to cough and tell him it's already happened:
DEP: "hack information on Hillary from the democrats, so the public will think she is a dishonest, corrupt politician."
Henchmen: "Ah, DEP, that has already happened. Americans, even members of her own party, think she is untrustworthy."
DEP: "Ok, lets spend a few thousand dollars on Tweets to sow discord."
Henchmen: "I don't know how to say this, sir....but have you been living under a rock? You've never heard of Rodney King? Republicans claim that the Clintons ran a heroin empire in Arkansas and ordered mob hits? Teabaggers that hung mannequins of Obama and burned him in effegy. America is DROWNING in discord, we don't have to lift a finger. And ten thousand dollars, are you kidding? That was a tiny amount of money in the 60's, how do you expect that much to change a 9 biLLLLLLion election?"
Russiagate wouldn't make it as a bad 80's action movie.
I'd wager the answer is rather simple; in 1991 the West thought the Cold War was won, and stopped fighting it.
You writing from some alternate universe, where the Warsaw Pact was doubled in size since the 90's (after Gorbachev promised Bush it wouldn't move an inch westward) instead of the other way around?
It provided all the evidence that you claim doesn't exist.
Assertions and accusations are not evidence. If they were, then there would be "evidence" that the moon landings were faked, that Obama was born in Kenya, and the CIA is doping you with drugs they smuggle into jet fuel. You know, conspiracy theories with just as much evidence to back them up as Russiagate.
The best manipulation is always the most innocuous. I mean, if you get too overt, you will get called out. So the fact that things seem superficially innocuous might not necessarily tilt the scales to either option.
Sounds like treating dispositive evidence as proof that the conspiracy theory is correct. Like how any time Trump is confrontational with Russia - and he's far more confrontational than Obama ever was - Russiagaters say that's just him trying to prove he's not a puppet.
All an indictment is, is an accusation from a prosecutor. Ever hear the phrase that they could "indict a ham sandwich"? Grand juries are under the complete control of prosecutors, and they could indict just about anyone for anything if they wanted to.
If Mueller had actual evidence of actual collusion, we would have seen it a year ago, instead of all this fucking around with Twitter trolls, Facebook ads placed after the election, and money laundering from ten years ago with zero connection to Trump (but plenty to Hillary's campaign manager, John Podesta). More to the point, Mueller has never had the FBI investigate the DNC severs, the alleged hacking of which is the entire basis of Russiagate. Which either means Mueller is far too incompetent to be trusted to run the office Keurig machine by himself, or this was never a real investigation, only a puppet show for rubes who learned nothing from the lies told about Iraq. One of those liars being one Robert Mueller.
Europeans have 1 month vacations because America grants Europe a massive $150 billion in subsidies in the form of horribly unfair trade deals.
America is the richest country in the history of the world. Try telling us again how one month vacations would cost toooo much.
Moreover America occupies Europe
FTFY. Russia has a smaller economy than Spain, and their entire defense budget is a fraction of the last increase to Pentagon pork. All those U.S. military bases across Europe are not for defense.
Coal isn't relevant as a power source when wind and solar passed it in cost effectiveness, and did so years ago. And that was even allowing coal to externalize its costs, like pollution.
Ever been to France ? The entire electric grid is nuke and they have the lowest rates in the EU.
With gargantuan subsidies from taxpayers to construct, run, insure and then decommission that just aren't counted by nuke fans. Same as every other nuclear power plant in existence.
How many people have died from solar and wind power vs nuclear?
Zero. If Joe Blow iron worker slips and falls to his death while working on a wind turbine, that's an industrial accident. Not a failure of wind power. Same as if Joe Blow is replacing an aircraft warning light on the side of a nuclear cooling tower and falls to his death, that's an industrial accident, not a failure of nuclear power.
When wind turbines are starting tornadoes, and solar farms start burning down cities with Archimedes death rays, then we can compare deaths between other renewals and nuclear power.
Google is evil AF - their engineers are resigning at giving China a fraction of the capabilities that the NSA/CIA/FBI have had with access to Google's services for at least a decade, but DGAF about writing murderbot software for the Pentagon.
But on this specific evil, Microsoft is alone. If we started seeing pop ups on Android devices whenever we try to install Firefox, we'll have an apples to apples comparison, but not until then.
The feature raised some hackles and brought back memories of Microsoft's strong-arm tactics promoting its old Internet Explorer browser in the first browser wars two decades ago. But Microsoft isn't alone in such tactics: Google promotes its Chrome browser as faster and safer to people who visit its own websites with other browsers.
Yeah, Microsoft is alone in these tactics as Google isn't interrupting other installations. If Microsoft put up an ad on Bing.com calling Edge the fastest secure browser, then you'd have a comparison.
Swiftboating. Russia gave Ukraine a low-interest loan and a cheap gas deal so the country wouldn't have to eviscerate itself for the IMF. The capitalist class really wanted that IMF loan so they could buy up public assets at firesale prices - but they couldn't win at the ballot box. So they overthrew the elected government in a violent coup with core support from literal neo-Nazis.
Russia isn't the problem here - your government is.
Says someone with the luxury of being able giving up a weeks pay. Or a job. Only 40% of Americans can handle a $1,000 emergency without doing into debt.
