Theory: US and UK intel agencies have been in cahoots with Putin and his Kremlin Oligarchs since the fall of the Soviet Union in the 90's. Laundering money from the impoverished Russian peasants to enrich themselves personally and their countries. Trump was one of their money-laundering mules. Trump and NY Mayor Rudy established the Russian mafia in New York. Trump snitched to the FBI about his Italian mafia business enablers. And Rudy would have Russian mafia folk accompany the @NewYorkFBI on their raids.

So, serious question. Why do folk assume that the USA or Trump has any say in imposing a peace agreement on Ukraine?

Ukraine has received over 800 tanks from Western allies, but the USA only gave them 31 tanks. Ukraine has received 64 fighter jets and zero came from the USA. Even the small African country of Morocco managed to deliver 20 tanks. We don't hear the President of Morocco saying he will force Ukraine to capitulate and give away territory to Russia.

1/2: Proposal: @SecGenNATO & @NATO members

NATO ➡️ Global Defence Alliance (GDA)

Members leave NATO and join GDA
Included: Ukraine, South Korea, Taiwan, Japan, USA (with Harris)

Excluded: USA (with Trump or Vance), Hungary (with Orban)

Possible: Palestine, Lebanon, Mexico 2/2: GDA just replaces NATO but with majority voting e.g. no veto by USA or any other single member. Funding for Cyber warfare and disinformation unit.

Ukraine immediately invokes Article 5.

Curtis Yarvin:

"In 2002, Yarvin founded the Urbit computer platform as a decentralized network of personal servers. In 2013 he co-founded the SF-based company Tlön Corp to build out Urbit further with funding from Peter Thiel's.. Founders Fund."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curtis_Ya… "Yarvin departed Tlon in 2019. Lehman said that the "hardest part" of his work at Tlon had been to distance Urbit from Yarvin."

"In 2022, the main software in an Urbit installation was a "bare-bones" text-based message board."

I have a theory on how the USA ended up with Trump and chose to appease Putin's war on Ukraine. USA is a petrostate with it's own fossil fuel oligarchs whom negotiated deals with Putin for access to Russia's Artic oil fields.

July 1977.. Mid 1980's: "What followed was what Naomi Oreskes, co-author of the report America Misled, called a “systematic, organised campaign by Exxon and other oil companies to sow doubt about the science and prevent meaningful action”." theguardian.com/environment/20…

So, lets kick of this thread on Silicon Valleys fake "Tech Bros".

I prefer the term "Fake Tech Bros" but you decide..

Larry Ellison: Stole the idea for a relational database from an IBM research paper. The early versions of the database was so buggy, that one of the developers joked about how their customers saved data - "Roaches check in, but they don't check out!"

An idea for a children's book if you want it @jzika:

Once upon a time, there was a beautiful forest with many wonderful animals and birds. Some of the animals were strong and some were fast but they were all good at what they could and the birds came in many splendid colors. All the birds and animals had families and were happy that everyone in the forest helped their older relatives and their children too. They would gather extra nuts, berries and other food from the forest to store and share with them.

The (#)StopTheSteal campaign in 2016. A short timeline.

January 2016: Trump and Roger Stone accuse the GOP of trying to steal the Republican primary vote from Trump. April 2016: Pitchforks and Tiki torchs 🤔
